DC Studios Taps Drive and Obi-Wan Kenobi to rewrite the Clayface script by Mike Flanagan

With Sgt. Rock put aside by DC StudiosThere were concerns that Clay could be the next one. Well, there is a positive update today because a new writer has mounted on the next DCU film.
Mike Flanagan wrote a script for the horror film at a low budget, with Don’t talk about evil Director James Watkins should lead. Now The Wrap reveals that Hossein Amini, better known for 2011 To drivemakes a rewriting.
With so much media threshing surrounding the scenario of Flanagan and that it is a longtime passion project for the filmmaker, it is a little strange that his script is rewritten.
However, we pointed out last week that he had only written a naked script, leaving DC Studios wishing to find someone who could rewrite page 1. This seems to be where Amini arrives, probably because Flanagan remains busy with several other projects. Its other recent credits include four episodes of Kenobi Obi-Wan.
During the weekend, the CO-PDG of DC Studios James Gunn reaffirmed that Clayface was taking place in an article on social networks celebrating the anniversary of Batman’s villain.

Talk about Clay Earlier this year, Gunn said, “One of the things that Peter and I talked about when we got the script for the first time, is that if we produced films five years ago, like when we were doing Belko Experiment and all that, and someone had brought us this horror script entitled Clayface about this type, we will be dead for producing this film.”
“Because it was only an excellent script of body horror. And the fact that it is in the DCU is just a plus”, ” He added. “Then we clayface: pure [frick]horror. As totally real. Their version of this film is so real and true and psychological and body horror and coarse. It is definitely Ryné R. “
