After years in development limbo, DC's long-gestating standalone "Flash" movie may finally have gotten the charge it so desperately needed.

According to a Barbara Muschietti.

Another big potential behind the scenes change is a new script, which sources tell THR will be written by Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)."

Despite those significant creative shifts, titular star a new version of the script himself, alongside comics veteran Grant Morrison. While his desired darker direction for the character was ultimately rejected by Warner Bros., they still want to keep him on board, according to THR.

The trade reports that deals have not yet been finalized, but Muschietti's success with fellow Warner Bros. series "It" suggests that he may be the right fit for this feature. "Flash" fans should keep their fingers crossed.
