As I said on Mar 14 Warner should have cut bait a half-decade back. Perhaps they can still CGI in Grant Gustin who seemingly is everyone's choice, including mine, to be the Flash regardless of Film or TV. I'm for bag being Miller's pronoun. I tell people mine is hole. MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastriver400 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I wish they would get rid of both Amber Heard and Ezra Miller. Things are so promising for DC Movies right now. They should take the short term loss and win big in the long run. D84 and MAR1979 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 just read that no more Miller as the Flash, all projects likely to be shelved that contained him https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/reports-warner-bros-not-cast-101539694.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall that Flash movie is still projected for june 2023. $200 million in already but I doubt we see the movie. What will happen with Miller next, this is a year away and this behavior just gets worse and worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will happen with Miller next, this is a year away and this behavior just gets worse and worse I wonder if they could reshoot the scenes if it concerns WB that much? They have $200 million invested in filming. That does not include advertising. (I think). If they think that Ezra Miller is only going to behave even more poorly then and that it might affect the performance of the movie, do you spend another $20 million in reshoots to digitally insert a new actor into the roll and delay the film for another year. At this point WB must think with financially. Sometimes it is seamless as evidenced by Christopher Plummer taking on the role that Kevin Spacey originally filmed for, "All the Money in the World" with Plummer even winning an Academy Award for the portrayal.

What will happen with Miller next, this is a year away and this behavior just gets worse and worse Note that the article says all projects with Miller *after* release of The Flash - meaning they'll likely release the film largely as is, but recast him either in the final moments (a la when Colin Farrell became Johnny Depp in the final moments of Fantastic Beasts) or simply recast him after the film. With the multiverse and/or Flashpoint storyline, could easily replace him in a post-credits sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I despise non-MCU credit scenes. Just do a re-shoot with the Barry Allen (or Wally West) that replaces him going forward. This is the best opportunity for them to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

media_junkie Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Wonder if the new CEO has thought about taking the loss and just dumping it on HBOMax and kill any additional advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it was considered. However, there is the Michael Keaton factor. If it was a one and done thing I could very easily see this as an option. But with Keaton returning AGAIN in Batgirl, they might want to make more of his appearance here and have the theatrical exposure. jsilverjanet and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely more complicated than that - that the director, Miller, Keaton and others have contracts structured with gross points and/or box office incentive payments that may require a theatrical release. If they go with a streaming-only release or even a non-wide theatrical release they probably open themselves up to multiple lawsuits, a la Scarlett Johansson & Black Widow.

media_junkie Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Looks like the family of another 12 year old has attained a protective order against Miller. 'Flash' star Ezra Miller hit with temporary protection order by family of 12-year-old in Massachusetts: report I know WB has put a ton of money into the movie and as was pointed out above there are contracts involved and everything, but when is the bad press (of some pretty serious magnitude) too much to go forward?
