Ezra Miller has high hopes for The Flash film. Speaking with MTV News, Miller said he thinks the film will be “fun” and “deeply human.” In other words, the polar opposite of all the recent DC films we suffered through.
“I think there’s just an intention to make something extremely fun and something superhuman and something deeply human…It’s the thing we’re all trying to do, but I think Rick’s mind and his heart are in an excellent place, and his expertise as a filmmaker, as evidenced by Dope, all come together as very exciting factors to me.”
Miller is referring to director Rick Famuyiwa, who will be helming the film. If the movie turns out anything like Dope, that would be dope. (pun intended… groan) The film was a perfect mixture of light-hearted humor followed by really harsh reality, which is Barry Allen’s wheelhouse for sure. Perhaps the tone shouldn’t be exactly like Dope, but it also shouldn’t be all doom and gloom either.Lest Rick gets sued by Zack Snyder for gimmick infringement.
The actor also talked about how he has yet to meet actor Grant Gustin (the current TV version of The Flash), but that he cannot wait to meet him:
“He’s a boss…I can’t wait to see him, eye to eye, adrift in the Speed Force — our eyes will lock and, in that moment, we will both know the truth. What truth? I dare not say.”
Is that a prediction of somehow Miller entering the Speed Force in his movie and seeing an “alternate Earth” Flash that just so happens to be Grant Gustin? That would be the best crossover to bridge DC’s movie-verse with their TV-verse.
