The celebrated horror author is a fan of the scarlet speedster.
The upcoming superhero film The Flash has received high praise from an unlikely source. Taking to Twitter recently, horror author Stephen King has dubbed the DC film starring Ezra Miller as "eye-popping," joining in the positive comments already made about it.
After watching an advanced screening of the film, which is set to premiere in mid-June this year, King has revealed he thoroughly enjoyed the movie. “I got an advance screening of THE FLASH today. As a rule, I don’t care a lot for superhero movies, but this one is special,” King, the best-selling author of horror novels including It , Carrie , The Shining , and Pet Sematary , wrote in a post on his Twitter account.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav and co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn. “We’re also excited for the release for DC films this year, starting with Shazam in two weeks, and followed by The Flash, which James Gunn called one of the greatest superhero movies ever made—a masterpiece,” Zaslav said in February . “I saw it and loved it.
Based on the DC Comics universe of the same name, The Flash is inspired by the storyline of Flashpoint and will feature multiple DC Comics characters, including Batman, The Flash, and Supergirl . The film will focus on Barry returning in time in the hopes of saving his mother from being murdered and consequently creating an alternative timeline that will see General Zod winning the battle featured in Man of Steel and Ben Affleck replacing Keaton as Batman.
