“We are not going to greenlight or put anything into production until we are happy with the script,” Gunn told The Hollywood Reporter in February. Screenwriter Hossein Amini and director James Watkins could be overhauling Flanagan’s Clayface. According to TheWrap, Hossein Amini, best known for writing Drive, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Snow White and the Huntsman, was recently chosen to rewrite Flanagan’s script. But it also feels like a strange pivot, given the emphasis that Gunn and Safran initially put on Flanagan’s pitch. If Gunn and Safran have a “writer-driven” strategy, why are writers being replaced and having their projects rewritten?
