Does Raimi want to even get back into the superhero movie drama again? He's probably done after Spider-Man 4 fell through.

Raimi please.

Raimi or Zemeckis would be really dope. Especially Raimi, but I think a script overhaul would be needed too to fit with his approach most likely.
Vaughn I don't like tbh, his movies have really cool moments but they are never good movies imo.
Raimi would be way better for Superman than Vaughn too. The heart of his Spidey trilogy owes a lot to the Donner classic tbh.

Live action version of this?
After the jazz musical number, of course.
Of all those directors, Raimi is the one I think would produce the most interesting film. So I would want him picked just to see what happens.
Well the last rumor was that it would be a Cyborg and Flash buddy film, so that would work out

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
A Flash movie directed by Sam Raimi ?
Fuck yes just for the potential Bruce Campbell cameos.

Aside from Wright, Raimi is the choice for Flash that would get me super hyped.
Him and Ezra Miller would be a great combo too.

Ironically enough, the only films of Mathew Vaughn's I don't like are Kick-Ass 1 & 2. But I still think he would be my pick out of these 3 for The Flash. Dude has a fun sensibility and could knock it out of the park if chosen.
Sam Raimi would also obviously be excellent.
I dig Zemeckis, but I'm not especially excited about the prospect of him directing this.

Zemeckis would be my choice, although Raimi & Vaughn wouldn't be bad either. All three will be better then whatever no-name studio hack they'll probably get to make the film though.
Raimi is not above doing forgettable studio mercenary-work. There was genuine passion behind Spider-Man 1 and 2. He'll, there was passion behind 3, though it was far more "I'm bitter about this whole fucking thing and think the black suit story is super fucking stupid. I'll show em how stupid it is..."
I'd hope he'd come to Flash with the former and less the utter disinterest he seemingly had with Oz

Any of those would be fine but Vaughn is the only one of the three that has a sterling record.

online love for Vaughn continues to baffle me.
he has some cool scenes in his movies but they all fall short, and they tend to look cheap to boot.
Like I'm there week one for Kingsmen 2, it's got freaking Super Cowboys teaming up with Super Spies now, and the cast is fantastic as usual with his films. but I have a feeling its gonna be much like the last movie where I only came out impressed with a few scenes.
it was all downhill after Layer Cake.
already cast as Billy Crudup. You see a shot of him in jail in the justice league trailer too.

Billy Crudup's already Barry's dad. You can see him in the JL trailer.

one thing about Vaughn though is that somehow he'll manage to get some major actors in the Flash movie with his involvement. I dunno how he does it but he gets cool ensembles.
I think he could pull in McConaughey as reverse flash or something if he wanted.

A rumor from an apparent screening of a cut of Justice League said Raimi fell in love with Cyborg's character.

Raimi would be choice. Other two are nice as well. At least glad they're not going fast and cheap with Flash's production. Script writer is questionable but I imagine they'll work on it once there is a director.
If only they had Ezra as Wally, then Tobey could be Barry, and Bruce Campbell as Jay Garrick.
Who knows where they're at now, but Cyborg was in a version of The Flash script.

I thought they were eyeing Billy Crudup (sp) for that role.

Ohhhhhhh, that's what that scene was. Good choice actually.
I didn't know that, but Cyborg definitely seems like a character Raimi would love in his composition. The whole, semi-human thing is way in his wheelhouse.

Can't hate on Zemeckis ... dude directed BttF and Roger Rabbit.
All solid choices
Spider-Man 2 is one of the best super hero movies ever made but .... some stories are as strong as their endings =P

Raimi would be fantastic for Flash, hope there's a homage or two to his spidey movies.
I would LOVE Edgar Wright to take on Shazam.

Wasn't Vaughn also on the shortlist for Man Of Steel 2? Personally, I'd bury the hell out of this Superman and bring Kara to the big screen or Superboy. I'm tired of this pussy we are stuck with named Superman. Go fuck Lois on the tub you alien. But regarding this topic: yes, a Flash film with Vaughn at the helm
would be cool.
and a different writer

Good thing Spidey is as strong as its beginning and middle.
Posted in the other thread but I'd like to see this happen:
Keep Manganiello out of the Batman but headline him as the main villain for a Vaughn directed Teen Titans. DCEU saved.

Guys, I love Raimi as much as anyone but the man hasn't made a good film since Spider-man 2. Same thing with Zemeckis.
Vaughn is the only sane choice in this list, especially if you want to bring a sense of energy and fun to the proceedings.
