The Flash Movie Gets A New Director

Shawn Levy is out and David Dobkin is in as director for the upcoming ‘The Flash’ movie.

Dobkin, who has been on a Vince Vaughn streak of late, having directed both The Wedding Crashers and the upcoming Fred Claus, replaced Levy who had left for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.  We’re relatively confident it had nothing to do with gaining weight or growing a beard. 

The solo flick will exist in the same universe as the upcoming Justice League Of America flick and is considered to be a direct spinoff, Dobkin told MTV. 

So, will it be the Barry Allen or the Wally West putting on the big red suit with the lightning bolt?  Apparently it will be Wally West, which makes sense considering that the rumors have been that the JLA movie opens with the funeral of the aforementioned Mr. Allen.

No casting decisions have been made yet, but the tagline of the flick will be “You can’t outrun yourself.” 

Cute.
