Movies: DC's The Flash (starring Ezra Miller) - June 23rd, 2023

apparently they can not due to overseas contracts which Batgirl did not have. One of geek youtube channels I like was saying that one reason why Batgirl was killed was because overseas distributors were not willing to do what DC/WB needed. The Flash has had those contracts in place for 3 years and if they kill the flash they will have to pay out money to them. With Batgirl, they have shelved in for 2 years and then figure out what to do. 24 months is the magic number for being able to apply the entire lose towards their deficit.


some other geek youtube channels are suggesting that scenes with Grant Gustin were in fact reshoots and that Gustin from the TV show may take over the movie franchise

That could be possible given the next season of the TV is supposedly the last.

I can only hope that is true. Miller is terrible in the role.

Has anyone else seen The Stand remake with him as Trashcan Man and Amber Heard as Nadine? Life is stranger than fiction

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Saw parts of it and it was awful and poorly cast

The 94 series was not perfect (Made for TV) but casting was pretty damn good and for its time was well made given limited budget/resources of made for TV mini-series of 90's

It was really the only way out for him. And yes, I fully do buy the mental health issue with Miller. I would not be surprised if he's bi-polar or something else and been off his meds. I'm not sure if he'll be on the PR tours for the movie though.

It is obvious that he has issues. But with how much money is involved with the movie--DC and Warners had to do something--the wording of the press release is what got my attention.

"The are seeking...." the wording is what I find interesting. It is a spin. Hopefully who is every actually looking out for Ezra has his best interest in mind and not just the 300 mill or so spent on the movie

I am thinking the same thing I saw it here Ezra Miller, 'The Flash' star, seeking treatment for mental health issues

I can only talk from personal experience when it comes to wording

"Seeking treatment" and being "In treatment" are two different things

 

[K Fleur]

At first I was confused how Miller even has the f***ing the time to to pull off all of these assaults and other heinous actions. Then I remembered they’re the Flash.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I can't imagine he has much of a future after this but then again Hollywood loves the comeback!

"My name is Ezra Miller and I am the fastest criminal alive..."

"My name is Ezra Miller and I am the fastest criminal alive..."

He should be the Reverse Flash

 

[Commander Clueless]

He should be the Reverse Flash

Recasting them as the villain would be a hilarious response. I'm all for it.

That said, maybe not the best move for the aforementioned ongoing treatment of mental health issues...

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Apparently it's testing very well. Keaton is in it for over half the movie.

DCEU lawyers are involved and they have green lit a sequel

Which is amazing when the cancelled other movies that are not this controversial due to the lead...

Preview looks interesting

 

[Jussi]

That looks good.

 

[Neutrinos]

That looks good.

I still don't understand why Ezra Miller was cast in the role, or perhaps the better question is, why the producers wanted Flash to be portrayed that way

I'm with you on that one.

 

[BertCorbeau]

That looks good.

it does look good, but so have other DC trailer

Still, gotta see it just for Michael Keaton's return

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Looks good, like that Pittsburgh's own Michael Keaton Douglas is back, I dig Batfleck's return LOVE him having the blue cape and cowl from the 70s and 80's comics, just wish they made him the alternate universe's Thomas Wayne Batman like in Flashpoint and just have him go even crazier.
