Rick Famuyiwa to take up the baton of 'The Flash'

'The Flash' has got its new helmer Rick Famuyiwa, as a replacement of original director Seth Grahame-Smith.

Famuyiwa, whose last film Dope caused a splash at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival with its electric tale of a young geek trying to survive in Inglewood, California, reports the Independent.

He's also receiving strong Emmy Awards buzz for his direction on 'Confirmation,' the HBO drama starring Kerry Washington as Anita Hill in a dramatisation of her accusations of sexual harassment and testimony against Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court nomination.
