‘The Flash’ releases in UAE theatres on Thursday

DUBAI: In theatres regionally from June 15 (with select screenings on June 14), Warner Bros. Pictures presents ‘The Flash’, directed by Andy Muschietti.

Ezra Miller stars as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film. Here’s what’s being said about DC’s long-awaited superhero release of the summer:

“This fresh, invigorating and hugely entertaining summer treat is as good as it gets when it comes to cinematic takes on superheroes.” — Pete Hammond, Deadline

“THE FLASH is a jewel in the DCU crown.” — Simon Thompson, Forbes

Worlds collide in ‘The Flash’ when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?

‘The Flash’ ensemble also includes rising star Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon (‘Bullet Train’, ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’), Ron Livingston (‘Loudermilk’, ‘The Conjuring’), Maribel Verdú (‘Elite’, ‘Y tu mamá también’), Kiersey Clemons (‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’, ‘Sweetheart’), Antje Traue (‘King of Ravens’, ‘Man of Steel’) and Michael Keaton (‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, ‘Batman’).

‘The Flash’ is produced by Barbara Muschietti (the ‘IT’ films, ‘Mama’) and Michael Disco (‘Rampage’, ‘San Andreas’). The screenplay is by Christina Hodson (‘Birds of Prey’, ‘Bumblebee’), with a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein (‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’) and Joby Harold (‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’, ‘Army of the Dead’), based on characters from DC. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Marianne Jenkins.

Joining director Muschietti behind the camera are director of photography Henry Braham (‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, ‘The Suicide Squad’), production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (‘IT Chapter Two’, ‘The Shape of Water’), editors Jason Ballantine (the ‘IT’ films, ‘The Great Gatsby’) and Paul Machliss (‘The Gentlemen,’ ‘Baby Driver’), and costume designer Alexandra Byrne (‘Doctor Strange,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’); the score is by Benjamin Wallfisch (‘The Invisible Man,’ the ‘IT’ films).

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film, ‘The Flash’. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in cinemas across the Middle East beginning June 15. The regional trailer can be viewed here.
