The DC Universe is once again in danger as Warner Bros.’ ‘The Flash’ is in critical straits as actor Ezra Miller continues to make headlines for his controversial behavior and multiple arrests, while the premiere remains set for June 23, 2023. But the pressure is mounting every day, as on Monday, the actor was charged with a new felony and on Wednesday, Rolling Stone reported that The Vermont Department of Children’s Services is trying to locate a mother and three children. who allegedly resided on the Miller farm in the state.
The three options of Warner Bros
A source with knowledge of the situation at The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the studio seems to be preparing for three possible scenarios. First of all, Warner has received indications that Miller, 29, is being accompanied by his mother in recent days, will seek professional help after returning to his Vermont farm after being away for the last few weeks. If that happens, Miller could give an interview at some point explaining his erratic behavior in recent years.
If this situation occurs, the actor could do limited advertising for ‘The Flash’, and the film would be released in theaters as planned. In the second scenario, even if Miller doesn’t seek help, Warner could still release the movie but Miller wouldn’t do any marketing and publicity and wouldn’t be ‘The Flash’ in the future either, as the role would be changed in future projects, although until now, this was the current option, no matter what.
In a third case, if things continue to get worse, and the situation with Miller deteriorates even more, this would cause Warner to kill the film forever, since it could not be reshot with a different actor, since Miller plays several characters and is in almost every scene. Scrapping a $200 million movie would be an unprecedented movealthough with the problems of the merger and the cancellation of ‘Batgirl’ (90 million dollars) the situation is unstable and very dire for the study and the future of ‘The Flash’.
All of the Miller scandals have been compounded because earlier this week, it emerged that Miller had been charged with felony burglary for allegedly taking bottles of alcohol from a Vermont home. According to a police report, Vermont State Police were notified of a possible burglary on May 1 when residents of County Road in Stamford, Vermont reported that “several bottles of alcohol were taken from inside the residence while the owners were away.” present”. After taking statements and reviewing surveillance video, police found probable cause to charge Miller.
At least one project has already distanced itself from Miller. On Tuesday, the Salvador Dali biopic “Daliland” left Miller out of its press release in an announcement about her debut at the Toronto Film Festival. The actor plays a young version of the artist in the projectstarring Ben Kingsley as a mature version.
