But as a fan of the show, I'm freaking out about this deep cuts callback! The other night, we got to add an iconic (and tasty) location to the Flash universe but today? I get to sorta go back in time! I can't tell you how happy all this shit makes me. As a storyteller for the week, I'm keen to do the material and the cast & crew justice. We're shooting a scene today that timely ties into something special from one of my favorite Season 1 episodes. Yesterday was Day 3 of 8, so when we wrap today we'll be halfway done shooting the episode I'm directing. I'm as invested in Grant's Barry as I am in some blood family members in my book, that means the kid elevates the genre. I love an actor or actress whose work is so strong it can bring me to tears - and if you've ever seen that video of me watching #Flash on my #KevinSmith #youtube channel, you know that I can #BawlBarryBawl over this show like a big baby bitch. And of all the actors and actresses playing men and women of mystery (a weird, wonderful yet difficult genre to pull off) Grant and his pitch-perfect portrayal of Barry Allen stands shoulder-to-costumed-shoulder with other masters-of-their-masks such as #robertdowneyjr and #adamwest and #ryanreynolds. We live in a world where we get to see all of our comic book heroes come to life on both the silver and cyber screens. The beauty of this marriage of performer and part is that #grantgustin brings a vulnerability and humanity to Barry which elevates a series that could be written off by the uninitiated as "that show where the guy runs fast" to must-see TV. The story of is the journey of #BarryAllen - so you have to care about Barry for the show to work at all. And that wearer is the great - who was a joy to watch work. I got to "direct" #TheFlash himself yesterday and shoot the suit! The costume looks breathtaking in real life but it's nothing without the wearer. ![]() ![]() Which pretty much sums up how I feel about living life in general. Unlike me, Zack has written very successful movies - like X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and THOR.) As we get ready to roll, I'm scared to fuck up but thrilled to have the chance to do this at all. And huge hosannahs to ep 221 writer #ZackStentz who CRUSHED the script and gave me, the cast & the crew something wonderfully emotional to shoot this week. Many thanks to my new #Flash family for making me feel so welcomed, right down to the cartoon of me on the tech scout itinerary (pictured above). I'm kinda just here to root them on and make the occasional suggestion. The good news is both the cast and the crew of this most excellent entertainment do this sort of thing every week and need no help from me to craft a compelling comic book come to life. I love this show so much and dread making an episode that blows. We shot a scene last week in pre-production but Ep 221 officially begins today. Today is Day 1 of 8 on the episode of I'm directing. ![]()
