DC’s upcoming Clayface movie is facing a rehaul as the studio enlists another writer to pen the script, which was originally written by The Haunting of Hill House's Mike Flanagan.

Screenwriter Hossein Amini will now rewrite the Clayface script for DC Studios, as reported by TheWrap. Amini is best known for writing the script for the 2011 cult hit Drive starring Ryan Gosling, and he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing of an Adapted Screenplay for his 1997 film The Wings of the Dove.

We never saw an official logline from Flanagan’s script, but the film was said to be leaning more into Clayface's horror aspects. The DC comic book character first appeared in June 1940 as an actor who turned to a life of crime after taking on the personality of one of his horror roles, turning into a formidable villain made out of a strange, clay-like substance.
