A quick note: Think McFly Think reports that Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) is in the running for the Flash Movie. (via @SpeedsterSite)
The post says that there are two actors under consideration at this point, but doesn’t speculate as to the second actor.
Update: Screen Rant is calling Neil Patrick Harris as the other actor under consideration. Harris has experience with the super-hero genre, starring not only as the titular villain in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, but as the voice of Barry Allen himself in last year’s animated Justice League: New Frontier (reviewed here).

Since DC has been busy re-positioning Barry Allen as the main Flash, it’s a safe bet at this point that the movie will star Barry.
There’s very little chance that NPH gets the role, even if he wanted it. No way WB puts a potential superhero franchise in his ability to carry a film. NO CHANCE.
NPH would be an amazing Flash. Specifically, Wally West. I think that he embodies Wally’s charisma, wit, and humor.
There is no way he could play Barry though. No way at all.
He’s already played Barry. And was spot on.
There is a trailer for the The Flash(2009) movie on youtube and it features the Wally West Flash. I’ve heard Ryan Reynolds is to play The Flash but I can’t say for sure if this is true.
Ben, if you mean the one that claims to have been recorded at an advance Watchmen screening, it’s a fan-made fake. See these previous posts for some links where people have analyzed it.
