Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass) has been very vocal about wanting to make a Clayface movie for DC Studios. He also presented his idea James Gunn AND Pietro Safran.

This is said to be a passion project for Flanagan and he has apparently completed a screenplay for the film. This latest report comes from scooper Daniel Richtman who claims that the director has completed the script and that filming is scheduled for next spring.

Another source, Apocalyptic Horseman, said that Flanagan only wrote the screenplay and would not direct the film because he would be working on his own project. Exorcist movie. He said the movie will come out at some point after that Supergirl.

I hope this news is true because it would be awesome to see DC Studio actually produce a standalone Clay face Mike Flanagan movie!

Flanagan previously said he would be “really excited to do a stand-alone Clayface horror/thriller/tragedy movie.” He later shared that he actually pitched that film to Warner Bros., saying, “They didn’t sign on to that. Although I’m ready to leave at any time.”

In another interview Flanagan talked about his meeting with the studio about Clayface being a horror movie, and that wasn’t the only DC movie they talked about. He said:

“I went to Warner Bros. to have the DC meeting. It was a general meeting with [producer] Jon Berg talking about if there was something in the DC Universe that I could be good for… I really want it[ed] to do Clayface.

“I came in and said, ‘You know, if you want to do some horror-oriented DC stuff, guys, I’ve got a great take on Clayface. I’d love to do that movie.’”

“And then if not, I wanted to talk about Scarecrow and Justice League Dark and Constantine. And I kind of threw it all out there and then said, “As a kid, I dressed up as Superman, because that was my hero – Christopher Reeve’s Superman was my hero.” And the meeting went nowhere. [Berg] I didn’t really get the hang of any of that stuff.

In the comics, Clayface’s real name is Basil Karlo, an actor who, after discovering that a remake of one of his classic horror films was being made, went mad and began killing the cast and crew, wearing the mask of movie villain Clayface, until he was stopped. of Batman. Initially having no superpowers, Karlo joined a group of other “Clayfaces” and stole their combined powers, allowing him to transform into any form he desired.

In Batman: The Animated SeriesClayface was called Matt Hagen, “an actor who worked for Imperial Pictures, once called ‘The Man of Millions of Faces,’ but had been disfigured in a terrible car accident. While convalescing in a burn clinic, he was approached by corrupt industrialist Roland Daggett, who made him a test subject for a compound called “Renuyu” which he claimed would immediately restore his youthful good looks.

“In exchange, Hagen unlawfully impersonated people on behalf of Daggett. Hagen greatly resented this, but was forced to comply, as the Renuyu chemical was extremely addictive and Daggett was the sole producer. “”
