THE FLASH Movie Scripts

Warner is deciding between two scripts, one by current directors John Daley & Jonathan Goldstein that is lighter and more straightforward, and one by Ezra Miller and Grant Morrison that is darker and more ambitious. Here’s the details.

>Daley/Goldstein draft
Barry Allen and Hunter Zolomon are friends. Zolomon is displaced from the time stream during a fight between the Flash and the Rogues, who were hired to steal a prototype time machine from S.T.A.R. Labs, and attempts to use his power to alter history, forcing the Flash to stop him. Iris West is a journalist and Barry’s love interest. Jay Garrick is a scientist and Barry’s mentor. Rogues are secondary villains and just regular criminals, but the movie sets up their transformation into supervillains. Eobard Thawne alluded to be their employer.

>Miller/Morrison draft
While trying to prevent his mother’s death, Barry accidentally frees Eobard Thawne from the Speed Force, where Barry had trapped him in the future. Thawne begins killing speedsters across the Multiverse to steal their speed and change the course of history, damaging the Speed Force and threatening to collapse the Multiverse. Barry teams up with Jay Garrick, the Flash from Earth-2, to stop him. Iris West is a journalist and Barry’s love interest. Multiple universes/timelines and its respective Flashes featured.

So far, Warner is favoring the Daley/Goldstein draft.
