I've just learned that the latest script for the Dc Comics character The Flash will be handed into Warner Bros between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green are writing the draft, and Greg Berlanti did the story with them. No word on who'll direct The Flash yet, but I can tell you it's doubtful it'll be Berlanti, even though his very different Life As We Know It came in #2 at the box office for the studio this weekend. And his freshman TV superpowers series No Ordinary Family is now ABC's most promising new drama, doing respectable business as a self-starter in one of the most competitive time slots. "He won't want to direct it because he kinda wants to do something in between size-wise first before attempting something that large," an insider tells me. On the other hand, "If Warner Bros does like the script and wants him to direct it... But that's a lot of ifs. And all of it is moot if they don't dig the script. Green Lantern wasn't real until the studio liked the draft."

Very early days but, I've heard Bradley Cooper, who of course was the runner-up for the role of Hal Jordan in DC's "Green Lantern", is the favourite to wiggle his way into the cherry tights. Warner Bros loves them some Cooper, and DC is very keen to have Cooper be 'part of the family', so don't be surprised to hear the "Hangover" star's name mentioned in relation to the role when the shortlist is inevitably leaked. (Personally, I don't mind the idea of Adam Brody - who was attached to play the speedy superhero in the ill-fated "Justice League" flick).

For now it’s all rumor but MH is a generally reliable source and if they say Bradley Cooper is at the top of the studio’s Flash shortlist, then I’m inclined to believe there’s something to it.

Jetzt tauchen auch schon die ersten Gerüchte auf was Castings angeht und den Anfang macht Bradley Cooper:

Fände ihn auf jeden Fall keine schlechte Wahl, würde aber noch Adam Brody (war echt die beste Besetzung was den gecancelten Justice League Film angeht) und Chris Pine vorziehen.

Also von den hier aufgezählten Kandidaten wäre ich sogar direkt für Cooper. Brody mag mir in der Rolle einfach unpassend vorkommen und bei Chris Pine finde ich zum einen, dass sein gesicht irgendwie nicht ins klassische Kostüm passt und er mir auch nicht als Barry Allen gefallen will, irgendwie zu jung und von der Ausstrahlung...ich dennke Cooper würde die Sache super hinbekommen...

With the script still not finished (it’s due to be done by Christmas) it’s going to be quite a while before we hear anything solid on casting…. regardless… another casting rumour has popped up online… and it’s a goodie!
Our friends at Screen Rant let slip that “rumors through the grapevine hint at Chris Pine as a sought-after lead“.

“We’re being true to the whole Barry Allen science police… We’re being true to those origins and updating them for the 21st century. I feel like in many ways the movie is three movies in one. It’s part thriller, that forensic, cool, Seven, Silence of the Lambs; Part superhero movie and part sports movie because there’s an athleticism to this character that other superheroes don’t have… And you get to see how all three of those elements inform each other and make the whole movie even better. It’s sort of like the way in Green Lantern we took a superhero movie and combined it with a space opera, here we’re combining the superhero movie with these other two genres and it’s just a blast.”
