Earlier this afternoon, DC Studios and Warner Brothers released the official teaser trailer for Clayface, their upcoming take on the Batman villain. Tom Rhys Harries stars the title character, with James Watkins directing a screenplay co-written by Hossein Amini and Mike Flanagan, based on Flanagan’s story. The film will be in theaters on October 23rd.
This is what DC and WB has to say about the movie:
DC Studios’ first-ever foray into the genre, “Clayface” is a riveting horror thriller from director James Watkins, starring Tom Rhys Harries in the title role of the Gotham City villain.
“Clayface” unravels one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster in a story that explores the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.
Here now is the official teaser for Clayface:



Man, watching this teaser, it sure does seem like someone at Warner Bros. read Joey‘s Sunday Scaries pieces begging them to produce a solo Clayface horror movie and thought to themselves, “Sure, why not? Let’s give this a chance and a $40 million budget.”
I sure hope so!
