- James Watkins directs from a script now rewritten by Hossein Amini, with reporting characterizing the changes as substantial even as James Gunn maintains it remains Flanagan’s story.
- Mike Flanagan confirms his draft drew directly from Batman: The Animated Series’ Feat of Clay and says he hopes the finished film preserves that spirit.
- Flanagan cites schedule conflicts, including his Carrie series, for stepping aside and calls missing the director role one of the great sadnesses of his career.
