Writer-director partners Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are reportedly developing a big-screen story for The Flash.

According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has hired Lord and Miller to write a story treatment for a movie based on the popular DC character, proving the rumour we reported on earlier this week.

The film is expected to be separate from the CW TV series The Flash, but it's yet to be determined whether Lord and Miller will direct The Flash movie (or write the screenplay, for that matter).

The dynamic writer-director duo have both a knack for mature comedy (21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street) and family friendly humour (The Lego Movie, Cloudy With a Chance of Metballs 1 & 2).
