The studio ponders three paths forward for the expensive DC film, with a
worst case — if unlikely — scenario including the project being scrapped.

The fate of Warner Bros.’ The Flash hangs in the balance as actor Ezra
Miller continues to make headlines for their controversial behavior and
various arrests. An outright shelving of the film is not off the table,
though it would be a last resort.
Warners — and its new parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery — had hoped
to avoid the line of fire, because its big-budget DC superhero tentpole
isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until June 23, 2023. But the pressure is
mounting by the day.
On Monday, the actor was charged with a felony burglary, and on Wednesday,
Rolling Stone reported that Vermont’s child services department is
attempting to locate a mother and three children who have allegedly been
residing at Miller’s farm in the state.
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 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: The situation with Miller deteriorates further. 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.
Miller was cast as the Flash in 2014, the same year a solo The Flash film
was announced. The development process has been long, with multiple
directors coming and going over the years until It filmmaker Andy
Muschietti finally got the project off the ground. The film also stars
Michael Keaton, back as Batman for the first time in 30 years, and Ben
Affleck as a different version of Batman.
Miller began their time as the Flash with cameos in Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, both released in 2016, before having a
main role in Justice League a year later.
The Flash is a key film for Warners, as it is expected to chart a new
course for the DC Extended Universe. The film has been testing well, even
as Miller’s legal woes continue to mount.
Earlier this week, word broke that they had been charged with felony
burglary for allegedly stealing bottles of alcohol from a Vermont home.
According to a police report posted online, Vermont State Police were
notified May 1 of a potential burglary when residents on County Road in
Stamford, Vermont, reported that “several bottles of alcohol were taken
from within the residence while the homeowners were not present.”
Following an investigation that included taking statements and reviewing
surveillance videos, police found probable cause to charge Miller.
The latest charge comes after Miller was arrested in April in Hawaii and
booked on suspicion of second-degree assault, per the Hawaii Island Police
Department. The incident reportedly occurred when Miller was attending a
get-together at a private residence and “became irate after being asked to
leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the
forehead,” per police.
That came on the heels of a March arrest on charges of disorderly conduct
and harassment following an incident at a karaoke bar in Hilo, Hawaii.
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 its debut at the Toronto Film Festival. The actor
plays a young version of the artist in the project, which stars Ben
Kingsley as an older version.
Despite the arrests and headlines about Miller’s alleged behavior, Zaslav
said last week that the studio is committed to theatrical releases for a
number of DC films including The Flash.
“We’ve seen them. We think they are terrific, and we think we can make
them even better,” Zaslav said of DC’s upcoming slate.
CAA, which represents Miller, didn’t immediately respond to a request for
comment.

-That's karma-
The result is DEMOCRATS lies about history and reality to themselves and
others means their attempts to figure-out what's wrong is an exercise in
futility, because what they think they know they really don't know, and
fixing problems without the truth... becomes a fools errand.

Believe me being gay is far from the worst thing Ezra Miller has done.
