citizens of the reject nation greg here john how's it how's it how's it going i am i'm doing well i'm doing well but i'm worried about ezra miller who is not these days is worried the right word for everyone no one is worried everyone is bemused and horrified now there's some worry out there for sure understandable if that's the feeling that you have we're not here to talk about that we're to talk about the fact that It looks like Warner Brothers might actually be speaking out, sort of, about the Ezra Miller situation. We have an article here from the Hollywood Reporter, who is one of, if not the most reliable entertainment news source out there. Like when Hollywood reporters saying that their source is talking with someone, odds are it's a legit source.

You hear that phrase all the time. Source says this is one that you don't really take with a grain of salt. You kind of just go, it's 100% fact. It's a big amount of power, the Hollywood Reporter Wealds. So apparently there's three options here for what Warner Brothers is thinking about what to do with Ezra Miller. We're going to go through each one of these options. We're going to talk about it. This is coming off the heels of this past Monday.

Ezra Miller charged with burglary felony on Wednesday, apparently Rolling Stones. Reportedly there was this situation with Vermont Child Services where they were trying to locate a mother and three children who are presumably staying at. Israel's farmer. God, there's so much happening right now. But anyway, let's talk about this.

All right. So a source of the knowledge of the situation says the studio appears to be preparing for three possible scenarios. First, execute Ezra Miller.

Whoa, that is too far. You don't be a tyrant. The acts of Zazlov is not a literal thing. Geez. First. Stop with these serious sentiment.

Warner's has received indications that the 29-year-old Miller, gosh, he's so successful. 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. I mean, that sounds like the hell. healthiest option. Option one is the

ideal option. I still don't think though honestly that even if that ends up being the first option I'm like yeah, Ezra Miller gets themselves clean, speaks up a little bit about it. Warner Brothers addresses it. You know I still feel like maybe you just shouldn't

immediately go ahead and green light the flash two with Ezra. If this happens that's a good thing but you know showing that you put in the time and effort and the work to change for real takes time and you can't do that on a market strategy. Yeah.

The second scenario, John, read it. Even if Miller doesn't reach out for help, Warner's could still release the film, but don't expect Miller to play any prominent role in terms of marketing or publicity, nor would Miller be the flash going forward, as the role would be recast in future projects. That's pretty much the way I envision that this would all go down. Yeah, they're still going to release it. Ezra would just not be involved in the marketing, and they just wouldn't acknowledge it, they make sure journalists whoever's interviewing any of the cast ask about this you bring up mr miller

you're done this sounds more like what i imagine they would still do but if if these allegations and reports keep compounding then you know maybe that's why we got the third option which is the situation with the miller deteriorates further this would see warners killing the movie outright as it cannot be reshot with a different actor miller plays multiple characters including the batman and is in almost every scene. Scrapping a $200 million film would be an unprecedented move. Well, you've got to top that backgirl cancellation. You've got to overshadow the Ezra Miller controversy with more of your own controversy.

Yeah, can't $200 million show that you guys just got so much money to play with? Make the tax write off cinematic universe. Thank you, Uncle Sam. I don't honestly see them doing that. But then again, I did not expect 90 million. million dollars and there's a 200 million's a little more than double solid math but yeah i mean these seem like the the three most logical ways to deal with this and then it just depends on which timeline we get to live on i mean do we get to live on the timeline where esra miller actually goes oh wait

my my actions do seem a bit erratic maybe i could use some help because clearly i am not getting this under control although given everything this happened i guess part of me doesn't feel like that's likely i mean i was hearing some crazy things out there today now this stuff is not coming from the Hollywood reporter so it's more reliable you know if you thought a Hollywood report was reliable what about exclusive sources on Twitter those are the up-to-the-minute sources so I saw these being quote tweeted a lot I don't think they're verified but they are amusing so apparently Zoslav got outvoted on Tuesday with regards to the Ezra situation majority of the WB Discovery Board wanted to indefinitely

shell the flash, but Zazlov was against it. So we called in another meeting today and it sounds like there's a shouting match happening right now at WB. I am semi-loving this situation because this is exactly what you'd expect is crazy stories like that to be coming out. And that is totally an unverified story. You go online and you're like, sorry people immediately just believe this. And I'm like, maybe it's true. Maybe it isn't. That's the magic of this. Schrodinger. facts it could be true you never know especially when crazy shit like this is happening well because you bet that no matter what the truth is there are heated conversations about what to do going on there have to be yeah i mean so for me i feel like the best option is the first option but that

really hinges on ezra miller getting their shit together as we've seen over the it's not easy for someone to get their shit together when they're this far down the path i know some people hear that And they're like, you're just buying into fake news propaganda. And, you know, okay, sure. Believe that. Whatever. Why are you here? You know, we know what we're probably going to be talking about, right?

I am hoping that that is the first option. Because, like I said, you know, like the back girl situation upset me because of what that did to the filmmakers and the cast and crew, everyone involved who works tirelessly on that film. And same thing with this movie, you know, this is weirdly probably my number one most anticipated comic book movie. Because of the fact of all this crap surrounding it, the difficulties to release. sit will it actually be good in the end will i be able to see past the esra miller stuff like i don't even think it's going to be now one part of me thinks this will be my favorite comic book movie in the next 365 days i know one part of me thinks that but it's weirdly my most anticipated

just due to the amount of crab surrounding it i'm like i just got to see what what this turns out to be and if we walk out going that's all right we've all been at the at this mountain together scaling the weird twists and turns and I feel like yeah it would be so anticlimactic just to never see the movie and now I feel like it's the only way to set us all free

yeah yeah so I hope that is I hope they are able to come to that point I still not I've said it time and time again release the flash sure Robert Downey Jr. will come and send him to rehab

specifically that'd be good he's always going and saving people he stays his own army hammer let's do it Ezra Miller gone so I would suggest you know that perhaps let the Ezra go after this movie comes out. Set them free. Especially

if you take the second option where they are just, you know, keep them silent. Thank you and goodbye. If they're having Ezra Miller on set for reshoots during the summer, they probably at least have to, they can't go far past that second option. I feel like

the nuclear option, as they say, is to completely cancel the movie, but I feel like that's pending Ezra doing something else that's like truly beyond the pale of crime or something, like a real, you know, full on assault or something. Well, guys, what do you think

about this news? Are you excited for an option to possibly happen? What's your fourth option? Write it in the comments. Leave your thoughts down below and, you know, the saga continues.

I can't wait to see the Netflix documentary. See you. That will premiere in HBO. More reality content for Discovery Plus. Thank you.
