    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    The Warner Bros. and DC Comics film "The Flash" has hit a roadblock. Director Rick Famuyiwa on Monday said in a statement that he and the studio could not "come together creatively" on the project, which he's been attached to since June.

    Ezra Miller stars as the speedy superhero in the film, which is slated for a March 2018 release.

    Famuyiwa, known for the indie "Dope," appeared at Comic-Con earlier this year on behalf of the film alongside fellow DC directors Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, James Wan and Ben Affleck.

    His departure is the latest bump on the road for Warner Bros.' expanding DC universe, which has had a somewhat gloomy year with critically derided, but decently successful films like "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad."

    "The Flash" is not the only superhero picture with troubles lately. Rival studio Fox recently saw the departure of "Deadpool 2" director Tim Miller, also over creative differences.

    Plaintiff Trump gets reprieve from an order to disclose his finances in BBC case — but only for now

    President Donald J. Trump, Plaintiff, got a welcome break this week in one of his battles with the media — but for the moment, only a temporary one.

    As his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC proceeds, a federal judge in Florida granted the president a temporary reprieve on Thursday from an order that he begin divulging details of his business empire's financial performance — something he is clearly loath to do.

    U.S. District Judge Roy Altman agreed to put that order on hold while he considers an amended complaint from Trump that would narrow his claim that he suffered damage to both business and reputation. By focusing only on the latter, Trump's lawyers hope to avoid the need for the financial disclosures. That updated complaint has not been made public.

    Trump filed the lawsuit in December over the way the British broadcaster, in a 2024 documentary, edited a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021, before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington. It is one of many actions he has taken in his second term against media coverage that displeases him — in the courts, with executive action and in the overall presidential bully pulpit.

    Trump contends that the BBC's editing was misleading because it cut out, among other parts, a section where Trump said he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully. The claim seeks $5 billion in damages for defamation and $5 billion for unfair trade practices.

    The publicly funded broadcaster has apologized to Trump over the edit but rejects claims it defamed him. The furor produced the resignations of the BBC's top executive and its head of news.
