So apparently Ezra Miller has gone batshit insane after all

This flash movie must be absolutely incredible, if they are still going ahead with it, and willing to work with this crazy person, despite everything.

I think I read that they already dumped 200mil into it. Add that to the 90 mil that they just pissed away with Batgirl, they probably can't take that big of a hit. Reshoots would probably put it way out of profitability range too, considering he's the main character.

Just a big shitshow all around.

It’s probably needed to reboot everything.

I'll probably never watch it regardless as I'm not into super heroes/flash.

But I can WB are not happy regardless, especially if it had a much higher tag.

If you remove the head is like a Funko Pop Darth Vader toy.

It is clear they need help. This is just sad to see.

Rolling my fucking eyes at people feeling it is okay to misgender someone because they behave badly though. Be honest. You were probably misgendering them regardless.

Let's not enable delusions, that's a dude, a dude that grooms girls into his lgbt+ cult. I can't care less about his feelings.

Rolling my eyes at the idea anyone should be forced to deny the biological reality in front of their eyes to suit a child groomer’s wishes.

If people want me to respect their identity - which I am delighted to do most of the time - then they can sure as hell act like a decent member of society to earn that respect.

Dude, pick your battles. Is the Hill of Ezra the one you wish to die on?

Short of them murdering someone they are not cancelling that film. It still boggles my fucking mind that of all the DC films they wanted to dump all their cash into they decided to spend over $250 million on the fucking Flash.


And not even the good Flash Grant Gustin.

It’s because he uses ‘the pronouns’ you know. Gina Carano was fired into oblivion for nothing. It depends on which side you are.

Miller traveled everywhere with their personal assistant and spiritual advisor, Jasper Young Bear, who told locals he cut off at least one of his own fingers during a ritual ceremony. (Young Bear didn't respond to a request for comment.) The actor used an art-house movie theater, Bíó Paradís, as a sort of clubhouse, with Miller occasionally burning sage to cleanse the premises of "bad spirits," staffers told Insider.

For most of their time in Iceland, Miller rented a sprawling, modern Airbnb in Reykjavík's suburb of Kópavogur. They filled the home with a menagerie of Icelandic artists, expats, and spiritual confidants whom they encouraged to stay there, even though many had their own homes in Reykjavík.

One woman who visited the house for a day in March 2020 recalled several mattresses spread out on the floor and compared the house to a "commune." She was struck by how enamored guests seemed to be of Miller, hanging on their every word and seeming unfazed by Miller's mood swings. "I felt like everyone was hypnotized," she said.

There's lots of funny stuff. Some seems questionable, but not criminal in itself. The most serious allegations made by the parents are denied by the 18 yo daughter Tokata.

Maybe the execs thinks the Flash movie will be done and forgotten before anything real comes out and that people that would watch don't care.

That has nothing to do with it. MIller was originally cast as the Flash somewhere around 2016. They didn't publicly change their pronouns to They/Them until 2018. This has everything to do with the 250+ million they have invested into the project. Short of Ezra committing a felony they are not cancelling that film. Gina Carano was replaced because what she did was wrong, but she was also replaceable. She was not the frontline star of a major release with hundreds of millions invested into it. If Ezra was just a nothing side character like she was and still did all the things they have done so far they would be kicked out the back door just the same.


Money is money and there is nothing that studios love more than money. That is what makes the real decisions and 250+ million is not a pill they are going to swallow unless they literally have no other choice.

There is literally video of him choking a woman (a video that some people seem to only find offensive because the dude recording calls Ezra 'bro' as he goes to pull him off the poor woman). He's been arrested multiple times for assault and harassment. He's had temporary restraining orders granted against him.

Like Nobody_Important Nobody_Important said, if he wasn't headlining a 300 million dollar movie, he would have been shit-canned long ago.

Actors have done shit like this before and it'll happen again.
The sense of satanic panic about it like it's unique is charming from a cyclical perspective.

I honestly struggle to think of a previous situation in modern cinema, where a studio went ahead with a film starring someone with that rap sheet and reputation.

Don't really care myself. But you;re welcome to waste your time dwelling on it.

Nope. I'll just stay convinced that they shouldn't be putting out a movie starring someone like that.
That's the way to do it. Vote with the wallet too. Some kept supporting Mel Gibson. There's a separate questions about art and artist and where people draw their lines.

It's a shame. I really liked him in "We need to talk about Kevin". Awesome book and movie by the way. But it seems he's beyond strange or eccentric more like a real psychosis.

Or he's trying to do the Charly Manson thing.

Thia guy is not going to age well.
Their current course suggest they may not age very much at all unfortunately. Nobody around them wants to step in and save them from their own self destructive behavior.

Oh yeah that's right. Jared is having his own girl cult.

And another actor of a central DC character during the DCEU. lol
SS was six years ago already. They moved on from that, they'll move on from this. Any bets on who's next?

The body armor and gun are the least crazy things he is doing

He was crazy before as soon as ge started Michael jacksoning his face and calling himself they.

The assault, The paranoia. cult accusations. And the fact people think he is too powerful to face reprocessing is just weird. He isn’t that powerful.

This is just what Hollywood is. Now we just get to see it out I. The open.

Blackface eh?
Justin Trudeau GIF
Transracial?
Historical accuracy honoring the struggles of BIPOC actors?
Just cosplay for a cult film?

They could spin stuff like this in any direction. How do you depict a movie cast for cosplay? Some folks would dog ANY white person cosplaying ANY black character no matter how they did it. I think it falls more on how that guy acts as to whether or not the "blackface" accusation makes sense. He isn't actually in the historic blackface and he's not, in that photo at least, depicting a negative stereotype (any more than Chris did with his own performance in TFE). Now if he walks around with his pants down low, saying "yo dog, what up my n-words!" or whatnot, well, fire away. But if he stays in character or just acts like a normal person then I don't see why anyone would complain. It would seem WORSE (to me) if they had everyone BUT Rod and excluded the character just becuase they didn't have the appropriate minority in their group (or had a hispanic, asian, middle eastern...etc human play him 'cause it was "close enough").
