    Geoff Johns named producer for Flash movie

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherJuly 19, 20097 Comments2 Mins Read

    Here’s something that is sure to get everyone talking at the San Diego Comic Con, DC scribe Geoff Johns has been named the producer for the live action Flash movie currently in development.  Those that paid close attention to the news last year when Warner Bros. and DC were in conference about setting a direction for all future superhero projects may remember Geoff Johns, Marv Wolfman, and Grant Morrison were hired as consultants and writers.  With Johns being named producer of the Flash, does that mean a Teen Titans and Superman producer announcements can’t be far behind?

    The studio is taking pitches on sci-fi hero Adam Strange and the underwater-breathing hero “Aquaman,” to be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way shingle.

    The rumor of the Aquaman project have been floating around since Entourage mocked the film some three years ago, so it will be interesting if that one lands in the pool of films coming out of the WB.

    Also in the pipeline: “Bizarro Superman” being written by “Galaxy Quest” scribes David Howard and Robert Gordon; a sequel to “Constantine,” with Goldsman and Erwin Stoff producing; two concurrent Green Arrow projects, an origin story and a prison-set one titled “Super Max”; and “Shazam,” which was set up at New Line but has moved to Warners, with Pete Segal attached to direct.

    The Hollywood Reporter article goes on to suggest that with all the DC Comics properties in development and production, that it might be a good idea to put all the DC properties under the direction of one super-executive, somewhat like Avi Arad and Marvel.

      Don’t get too excited. Have you seen movie credits lately? They have more “producers” than actors these days. Unless the title is “Executive Producer”, it doesn’t necessarily mean much. Even that can mean they just slapped on a big name like Spielberg because it was his production company, not because he had any actual input.

      I’m holding all excitement until I see Warner Bros. produce a good mainstream DC movie OTHER than the “Batman” franchise. In this generation.

      In other words, if “Green Lantern” sucks, there goes my hope for “Flash”. Thank god for animation at the very least!

      I compare this to having Stan Lee “produce” the marvel movies.
