Kevin Smith Set to Direct an Episode of THE FLASH
The CW has announced that writer and director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) will direct an upcoming episode of the hit superhero series The Flash.
As many of you know, Smith is a huge comic book geek, and he's written several of them over the years. At one point back in the 90s he also wrote the script for Superman Lives, which never made it into production. It's interesting to note that The Flash will actually be the very first time that the filmmaker will direct something based on an existing comic book property.
There's no information on what the episode he directs will entail, but it will air in May of 2016. The season finale will air shortly after. I'm curious to see what Smith will do with an episode of The Flash and if his filmmaking style will influence it. Hopefully, the storyline doesn't involve any giant robot spiders.
