‘Mad Max’ Stunt Team Will Ride Shiny and Chrome in ‘Aquaman’

Warner Bros. Let James Wan Pick Between Directing ‘Aquaman’ or ‘The Flash’
It was big news last week when Dope director Rick Famuyiwa was tapped to make the big-screen adaptation of DC Comics’ The Flash. Famuyiwa replaced Seth Grahame-Smith, who was originally supposed to make his directorial debut on the project, but later dropped out over “creative differen…
