James Gunn and Peter Safran have adopted a writer-driven approach for their DC reboot, emphasizing the importance of strong scripts before greenlighting projects. This method has led to unexpected approvals, such as Mike Flanagan's Clayface film, which showcases his talent in horror storytelling. However, as Flanagan is unavailable to direct, director James Watkins is set to lead the project, raising concerns about maintaining the original scriptâs essence. This strategy illustrates a commitment to quality storytelling as a cornerstone of their new direction.
âWe are not going to greenlight or put anything into production until we are happy with the script,â Gunn told The Hollywood Reporter in February. âIt is hard enough making a good movie with a good script, it's almost impossible to make a movie with a script that you're writing on the run.â
That strategy is why DC gave the green light to a few surprising projects, like a Clayface film written by Mike Flanagan. âWe had no plans [to make] a Clayface movie,â Gunn said. â[Flanagan] turned in a script and it's one of the best scripts that we've read.â
