“It’s designed to work as a spin-off from [’JLA’], so we’re honoring the story and we’re working in tandem with the storytelling,” he said. “I think we’ll just have to see how the movie does and how it works off it, but it certainly would be a movie that comes after ‘Justice League.’” Asked which version of the Flash would be the hero of his flick, Dobkin didn’t hesitate. “Wally West,” he said. Asked which version of the Flash would be the hero of his flick, Dobkin didn’t hesitate. “Wally West,” he said. This would seem to mesh perfectly with recent rumore that JLA opesn with Barry Allen's funeral - MTv Movies, 10/27/07 [link]
MTV learned on Saturday at the junket for director David Dobkin's Fred Claus that Warner Bros. has signed the helmer for The Flash. Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and David Goyer ("Blade" films) were previously attached to direct. - Silver Bullet Comics, 10/29/07 [link]
"No, the Flash isn't dead at all. There's talk of it being a [Justice League of America] movie," he grinned. "And then there's other talk of doing a Flash movie with ['Night at the Museum' director] Shawn Levy." - MTv.com, 8/20/07 [link]
David Goyer talks about leaving The Flash...
"To be honest, when WB first approached me about doing The Flash, it seemed a little too good to be true. There have been other super-hero scripts of mine that fell by the wayside. An R-rated Ghost Rider script that Stephen Norrington was going to direct. A horror-centric Doctor Strange script for Sony (which portrayed Mordo and Dormammu in a very Lovecraftian light). Even a pretty crappy Venom/Carnage script that I got roped into writing for New Line!
Andy Walker's script for Batman/Superman was great. And I'm sure Whedon's Wonder Woman is pretty damn cool as well.
The truth is, I've had a remarkably good track record with these kinds of films so far, so I don't have a lot to complain about. My peers and I are well-compensated for what we do. We're essentially living the dream we'd envisioned when we were kids. Now we get to meet and work with people we viewed as roll models and heroes.
Just the other day I had lunch with Wendy & Richard Pini, the creators of Elfquest. (And I can remember buying their very first issue back in 1978 when I was just thirteen). I got to have dinner with Neal Adams before the Batman Begins premiere. Work with the likes of Stan Lee and Mike Mignola.
In the coming weeks I'll post a bit more on the projects I've been working on since the Flash's demise. (One of them takes place in the DC Universe.) Until then..."
