Greg Berlanti (Showrunner on TV's Brothers & Sisters) is at the top of the list to direct the long gestating comic book flick "The Flash " according to the folks over at IESB.net.
Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original 'Flash' first appeared in "Flash Comics" #1 (January 1940). 'Jay Garrick', nicknamed the 'Scarlet Speedster', possessed 'super-speed', including the ability to move extremely fast, using superhuman reflexes that seemingly violate laws of physics.
Berlanti co-wrote the script for Green Lantern and was originally attached to direct that pic before Martin Campbell was hired. The studio however was apparently so keen on Berlanti's early work on GL--he's now tipped to bring red spandex wearing speedster to the screen...
Berlanti would mark at least the fourth potential director of the 'Flash' film--folowing David Goyer (Blade: Trinity) Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and Wedding Crashers helmer David Dobkin..
Ryan Reynolds, who is now playing GL, was previously attached to play The Flash when Goyer was attached to call action
