Rick Famuywia (Dope Director) to Direct Flash Movie/Black Excellence

[Brandeezy]

Hearing that Rick wanted to do a more political Flash movie that dealt with race issues. I can see the problem

I would save that type of movie after they get things off and running 1st

You have to wonder if Kiersey Clemons is staying now. She was cast based on her work with Famuyide on Dope.

Suicide squad did way too well for them to try something more darker/different or with little more edge

That's a damn shame

Dope

That's a damn shame

Its about money ...seem like "fun " films bring the money but i do think will Smith had alot to do with that and the concept of sucide squad (with joker and harely)

Lame. I'm probably one of the few people who likes Ezra but I'm not too excited for this film

Here's what bugs me out about studios: You initially pick a director because you're sold on their vision and it melds with yours. They hired him because he was in-line with what they wanted to do. THR is saying he walked because his vision had a bit more edge than they liked. Isn't that something you'd know beforehand? Or is it that really just something you'd see when the script pages come in?

once the preproduction starts and the set ideas and filming locations and cgi and budget start getting thrown around ... the differences start. .. ALA deadpool 2

I've always been of the mind that studios and networks know what they want from the very beginning, and all they're looking for is a steward who:

A. Has a vision similar enough to the one the studio had from the outset, or

B. Is "weak" enough to have their vision hammered and beaten into the shape that the studio will be comfortable with.

Knowing nothing about this situation, but seeing the outcome, I would guess this situation was more B than A.

They probably saw Rick as someone who'd be grateful enough with the shot to have his original vision moulded into their image, and when he bucked, they bucked back, and now they've "mutually parted ways".

yup. Same thing w/ marvel and ava duvernay.

And the other directors who complained after the fact

 

[Brandeezy]

Rick was trying to make the film too political with side plot of Barry investigating cops shooting of black teenagers. Geoff Johns hated the idea of politicising The Flash and Ezra Miller didn't like the tone

Barry on his Black Lives Matter tip?

I like the sentiment, but that feels like a very first draft idea/concept to me.

Leave the "ripped from the headlines" shyt to Criminal Minds and 'em and dig deeper.

Pretty much, it looks like with the studios they have no idea what "direction" or "tone" they want for these comic book films until the director starts bringing in their own vision and ideas for the film. It's why Marvel is constantly using lesser know directors.

If this really the case then he should know that there's no way WB would do that in a Flash film (or any other)

 

[Ol’Otis]

Dope

Shyt was overrated

If this is true I can see why he was fired. The Flash is a goofy comic book with evil weather men as villains. It's not the place to get into issues like black lives matter.
