The writer who is rewriting Mike Flanagan’s Clayface script has been revealed.
In 2026, there’s a fresh DC Universe film coming out, titled Clayface. The initial screenplay was penned by Flanagan, renowned for his work on Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and various other productions.
By March 2025, as reported by Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider, a new writer had been enlisted for the Clayface project to perform substantial revisions on Mike Flanagan’s script. At that time, the identity of this writer was kept secret, leaving uncertainty about who was involved in the work. Now, however, we finally know who has taken up the task.
Who is rewriting the Clayface script?
Hossein Amini is now rewriting the Clayface script, according to TheWrap.
Amini is widely recognized for penning the 2011 film Drive. Beyond this, his work as a screenwriter extends back to 1996 with Jude, followed by The Wings of the Dove in 1997, The Four Feathers in 2002, Killshot and Shanghai in 2008 and 2010 respectively, Snow White and the Huntsman and 47 Ronin in 2012 and 2013, Our Kind of Traitor and The Snowman in 2016 and 2017. He also contributed to the script for Gangs of New York in 2002 without credit, and penned and directed The Two Faces of January in 2014.
In television, Amini has written episodes of McMafia, The Alienist, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The Clayface movie production is set to start in the UK next October. Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris are producing this Batman-related film, with James Watkins directing it. As for Watkins, he has previously directed movies like Eden Lake (2008), The Woman in Black (2012), Bastille Day (2016), and Speak No Evil, which will be released in 2024.
As a gaming enthusiast eagerly waiting for the next big flick, I can’t help but feel a tad curious about the Clayface movie casting news. Contrary to some rumors, James Gunn, the director, has clarified that Alan Tudyk, who gave life to the character in the Creature Commandos animated series, won’t be stepping into the role this time around.
On September 11, 2026, Warner Bros. Pictures is set to unveil the movie “Clayface” in theaters across the United States.
