David Goyer Off the Flash
First Whedon, now Goyer. Next up, Jon Favreau will storm off Iron Man (and what a shame that’d be)…
From ICv2 (an awesome site):
According to The Hollywood Reporter Shawn (Night at the Museum) Levy has replaced David Goyer as the director of a movie based on DC Comics character The Flash for Warner Bros. Last week Goyer announced his departure from the project on his My Space blog as follows: “The God’s honest truth is that WB and myself simply couldn’t agree on what would make for a cool Flash film. I’m quite proud of the screenplay I turned in. I threw my heart into it, and I genuinely think it would’ve been the basis of a groundbreaking film. But as of now, the studio is heading off in a completely different direction.”

Jesus. All this and JJ Abrams not directing the new trek movie. What’s going on?
And actually, based on Zathura I think Favreau was probably a really good choice for Ironman (or any movie like it). He can do action, he can do a family movie that won’t condescend, he casts well, and he knows the importance of miniatures and creature f/x instead Of an over-reliance on CGI.
These studios don’t have a clue. Who knows, maybe goyer and whedons takes were off the mark. But in the old days you stuck with a director, trusted that he was a visionary and even if you had trouble with him, you followed through. (DONNER)
Now they second guess so much, and stories/concepts are agreed upon my committee. It’s like fucking sitcoms. They try to please everyone and end up pleasing nobody. Sigh.
I say all these studios should just fucking hire Hugh Sterbakov.
First and most importantly, JJ on Star Trek – is that true? I hadn’t heard that. Oh geez…
Second, we stand divided on Favreau. I like him as an actor, but I don’t see him as any kind of visionary filmmaker with any real unique style. He can make movies as well as Chris Columbus can make movies. I hope Iron Man proves me wrong.
I think Hugh should start work immediately on Norbit 2.
