Will DC’s experiment in comic book horror be successful? WB & DC Studios debuted one final “Get Tickets Now” promo trailer for the Clayface movie, a standalone DC movie set in Gotham City. The first ever DC horror thriller, based on the comic book character of Clayface from the Batman universe. An eerie body horror story about an up-and-coming actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. He turns to a scientist who transforms his body into clay. About “the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition.” Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen who becomes “Clayface”, with Eddie Marsan, Max Minghella, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Nancy Carroll, Joshua James. Produced by The Batman’s Matt Reeves and features a screenplay co-written by horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan.
