The Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep) written Clayface film is well under way, with James Watkins (Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) attached to direct.

While proviing updates on everything DC related, Peter Safran and James Gunn added some news to the upcoming film. Safran described the film as a “body horror film,” with Gunn adding that the hope is it, “works as a pure horror movie for somebody who doesn’t care at all about DC.” 

The casting process is under way, with hopes to shoot in the summer. Previously, Gunn has mentioned that actors who have voiced characters in animated projects would also play them in the live-action adaptations. However, Alan Tudyk who has voiced Clayface in two DC animated series will not be playing the character in the new film, with Gunn explaining that it wasn’t a “primary role” for Tudyk.
