New Scripter Writing The Flash Movie

This is indeed amazing news!!! Can't wait to see ol' Barry again and have Wally running around him. Kinda sucks for my plot about JLA though. That means they'll try to get elastic man in there for comic relief which would suck grandma balls... you heard me! So in Barry's case, Matthew Fox would be the best cast pick for the role.

Totally :)

Finally those bent dicks are getting on the ball with a Flash movie. It's about damn time too and they best not side line this project again in light of the same two heroes (we all know who).

Shaman - Dane Cook?! seriously? That's got flop all over it, sorry man. Wally West needs the balance of womanizer, comedy and the acting chops to pull out the burdened hero underneath it all. Dane Cook doesn't have that range. His peak is goofy romantic comedy when he's at his best and that's not all that impressive for what the role calls for with Wally West.
Mathew Fox as Barry Allen isn't too bad of a pick though.

If they are doing a West story;

Wally West - Ryan Gosling (Because the other Ryan is already Deadpool and Hannibal King). Ryan Gosling, would be a good fit as a number 2 since he has shown he can give a good performance in layering emotions on top of one another. He's done the woman chasing thing and sarcastic party kid before and has also done the burdened individual with a strong front as well. He has the range is what I'm saying.

If they are doing a Allen story with a younger West;

Barry Allen - Luke Goss. Why? He kicks ass. You saw "Blade 2" and "Hellboy 2".

Young Wally West as Kid Flash - Michael Angarano (The main character Jason in "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Jackie Chan and Jet Li) I was entertained by this no-namer in that movie and I think he cold pull off a younger Wally West. Hell, he could probably do Impulse.

...As the bad guy I'd get Captain Cold played by Gilbert Gottfried :)

I must say I completely agree with Shaman on this one. The MINUTE they said that Reynolds was going to be in X-Men Origins, all I could think was "Now he can't be The Flash!" I could have sworn that was a natural cast for anyone creating this flick.

Up until now, I couldn't get re-excited about this movie. But, Dane Cook is the perfect replacement. He is ABSOLUTELY clever and charms everything near him. He definitely has a speedster physique. And, just because he hasn't done much else besides slap-stick and romance comedy, doesn't mean he can't. Was Heath Ledger The Joker before he played it? Was Downey Iron Man? For that matter, was Keaton Batman? If Cook were cast, I'd bet he'd surprise a lot of people.

Should I get working on the fanfic or what?

Very good point Torque! The appointed actor really does have to give a damn about his character!

Weapon X- Stop looking at his "stand up" comedy and go rent "Mr. Brooks" and "Dan in Real Life" to see what kind of range Cook does ACTUALLY have. He's done better more serious roles than what Reynolds ever did. I like Reynolds too but Cook has more range as an actor than Reynolds.

Luke Goss is one of my favorite actors but he's a bit too dramatic for Barry. He'd make a kick ass Azrael though.

Shibazz- Calm your hormones down, you got kids comin in here. If you want porn, the web is full of it. You obviously got a tention issue to release.

Thanks chrisblaze54, glad we're in the same realm here! And crush, i don't see Fox as Zoom but Luke Goss, now there's a Zoom!!!

Why not Joker1Zero.

Flash AHHHH Saviour of the universe! Whoops wrong Flash

I'm with grif on this one, although cool to have a Flash movie, I won't get excited unless I see some tangible evidence.

i hate dane cook but hes got the humorous thing goin down and they share similar traits

No Dane Cook for Flash...he is box office poison and I want to see this turn into a viable franchise spawning lots more great films...Barry Allen is THE Flash to me like Hal Jordan is THE Green Lantern...Let's see some great DC movies from WB..

Matthew Fox wasa born in 1966...are kidding me...hes how old?

Ryan Reynolds = Perfect Flash.
I think he even mentioned he would love to play the part...I read something about him on comicbookmovie.com

What would they do first, The Flash or JLA ??

Shaman - I was basing it more so on his movies like "Employee Of The Month" or "Good Luck Chuck" than his stand-up and speaking of "Good Luck Chuck" his role in "Dan In Real Life" was just a subdued variation of the role he played in "Good Luck Chuck". Sorry dude, Dane just doesn't have the range, I haven't seen it.

Like I mentioned, Reynolds has sort of "Marveled" himself out of The Flash. But I will say he can do comedy and as his performance in "The Amityville Horror" showed he can play serious, especially when his character George Lutz in Amityville is a complete 180 of his role as Monty in "Waiting..." and those films were released months apart so you could easily see that the range is there. However, if Reynolds does get the role of Flash (Wally West), I won't be apposed of it, I'll just have to settle into it the way I did with Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne. It took me a while to get used to not thinking 'Patrick Bateman is driving a Batmobile'. Is Cook a better actor then Reynolds? Not in my opinion.

...But that's my two cents.

Dane cook is either love him or hate him..i dont hate him! And i have seen him deliver a couple of good dramatic performances. Im not a huge Flash fan but id still love to see a well made movie

Can't wait, but I won't hold my breath. I wonder which way they would go with this. I mean will they do the typical origin story, like nearly every other super hero movie. Or will the do a retrospective origin lke the Incredible Hulk. Or would they give present him as an already established hero, with his own Rouges gallery.
Speaking of Rouges gallery what villians would it be, Professor Zoom, Grodd, Zoom, Magenta, or some of the Rouges themselves
(original team- Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Heat Wave, Weather Wizard, the Trickster, Pied Piper, the Top, and Captain Boomerang).

Flash is probably one of Dc's best characters so he needs an actor who is passionate about the role
so think about this

Michael Rosenbaum for the Flash- He likes the role and is familiar with it. He can do comedy and serious roles, I mean he is probably the definitive Lex Luthor in Smallville, so he can play it, think about his voice in Justice League. He even has the build to play the role.

And as sad as it is i could actally see Gilbert Gottfreid as a rouge.

Oh and Shaman I agree Luke Goss would make a kick ass Azrael.

I thought My Best Friend's Girl was hilarious. I was not a fan of him nor his standup until I watched that movie.

lol, Captain Boomerang! Flashes villains are so out there. I love Flash in the justice league cartoon and all his villains because they are pretty much the comic relief! I think a movie should be along the same lines..obviously there should be drama too but if they take these characters too seriously it wont work.

The Hawk i like Rosenbaum for it..id have to see him with hair though..he voices the character perfectly in the cartoons and hes a great lex

Just got THE FLASH tv series on DVD, can't wait to see this on The Big screen!!! I hope this will be Barry flashbacks, and Wally's origin!!! As for Reynolds as Wally (not Barry in a million years, maybe that guy the was on Dawsons creek which looks like John weslyship, who actually played his dad on that show lol, would be sweet to play the Barry part) ! but i was hardcore for Reynolds but now he's DEADPOOL an was HANIBAL i dunno anymore! : ( 'Cool FLASH news!!! : )

Rorschach Rosenbaun looks like this with hair http://www.michaelrosenbaum.com/

Oh and I too ope they work Jay Garrick in there somehow.

I'll believe it when I see it.
