With all of the people that have been cancelled for a lot less.  Why is this allowed to continue?

Where do you think he buried them? He seems dumb enough to hide the bodies on his property.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the film. If he is incarcerated, then WBD has a decision to make - write it off vs spending more $$$ on reshoots and marketing for a film that may fail at the box office due to the lead.

Hopefully they are just hiding on the property and not dead.

Anyone know where his place is in Vermont? 

I would love to see what this looks like from google maps.

Perhaps Warner/Disc needs to crunch numbers and estimate how many people are going to pay to see the film that "stars" that deeeeebaggggg.    And just how on earth are they going to market the film with dislike, perhaps even hatred of the lead growing exponentially each day....?

Flash has been a favorite of mine for decades, but at this juncture even if WBD payed me I would not watch the film unless they CGI in Grant Gustin.  If WBD did that I would gladly pay double admission.

A source with knowledge of the situation says the studio appears to be preparing for three possible scenarios.

 

First, Warners has received indications that the 29-year-old Miller, whose mother has accompanied the actor in recent days, will seek professional help after returning home to their farm in Vermont after being away. If that help happens, Miller, who goes by they/them pronouns, could give an interview at some point explaining their erratic behavior over the past few years. The actor could then do limited press for The Flash, and the movie would open in cinemas as planned. 

 

The second scenario: Even if Miller doesn’t reach out for help, Warners could still release the film. But don’t expect Miller to play a prominent role in terms of marketing and publicity. Nor would Miller be The Flash going forward, as the role would be recast in future projects.

 

The third case: Things go from bad to worse, with the situation with Miller deteriorating. This would see Warners killing the movie outright, as it could not be reshot with a different actor. Miller plays multiple characters and is in almost every scene. Scrapping a $200 million film would be an unprecedented move.

 

All of this comes amid change at Warners. Earlier this month, newly minted Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav stunned Hollywood when shelving Batgirl, a $90 million movie made for HBO Max. Unlike The Flash, there was no individual controversy involved; rather Zaslav opted to take a tax write-down on the project and pivot away from making streaming films for DC.

Are these new considerations from last week, base on the criminal charges, and the mother allegations? Last week the film was coming out,  period.

The crimal charges that were based on a May 1st event and it took them until August to find Ezra Miller in rehab in August? Not sure.

Yes, but the charges were made public like 3 days ago.  I did hear rumors that WB knew more then the general public last week. I wonder if these two items are it or if there is even more?

 

If they knew this, then these developments were already part of the investor call.

 

Also, if the police were looking for him all summer, does WB face any liability if, as rumored, he was doing reshoots during that period. Meaning they knew where he was.

It seems like they reboot these franchises about every 10 years or so. 
 

They could sit on the film for a decade, hope Miller straightens himself out in that time, and use it as the next reboot of the DCU. 
 

Everybody loves nostalgia. “Hey, remember when Ezra Miller was the Flash?”  With Keaton you’d have DOUBLE the nostalgia!

Keaton did not save Batgirl.
