It’s been more than a month since it was first reported that Spider-Man: Homecoming screenwriters John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were in talks to direct a solo movie about the Flash, but Wednesday night the two told The Hollywood Reporter that they still haven’t finalized a deal with Warner Bros.
“We’re still negotiating,” Daley said at the premiere of their latest directorial effort, Game Night, a comedy thriller starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. “Deals are in the works right now.”
They insist that they haven’t yet started working on the script of the film, called Flashpoint, because “we have to sign the deal,” Daley said. “Hopefully, it will work out.”
Goldstein joked the holdup is due to very crucial deal point. “It’s all about parking spots,” he joked. “If you give in, then you’re all the way out by craft services. You want a better spot than that.”
Flashpoint will star Ezra Miller, reprising his role as the DC superhero from Justice League. Directors Rick Famuyiwa and Seth Grahame-Smith were previously attached separately to helm Flashpoint.
