THE FLASH Star Ezra Miller Eyes Tentative Hollywood Return in New Lynne Ramsay Film Which They Are Co-Writing
Ezra Miller is best known for roles in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the Fantastic Beasts franchise, and DC’s The Flash. The actor has been out of the spotlight for the last couple of years, after a series of abuse and harassment allegations derailed their career.
At the time, Miller issued a statement saying that they are seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues,” and offered an apology.
This week marked Miller’s first appearance back on the Hollywood scene, as they attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Die My Love to support Lynne Ramsay, who directed Miller in We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Miller was at another fest recently, Filming Italy Sardegna, and gave an interview to Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale where they said they’d return to the industry “on tentative grounds.” Miller also called Ramsay “one of the greatest living filmmakers” and revealed that they’re working on a new movie together.
Miller said, “I’m working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do. It’s a film that her and I are writing together. And I came to Cannes because she asked me to come, and if there’s anything I really still believe in in my life, it’s devotion to one’s people, one’s loved ones … above all else.”
Miller admitted that they “didn’t necessarily want to go to Cannes” and “had a bit of a hard time,” adding, “That’s a tough reentry point. If you’ve been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes. But yeah, I did that for Lynne. I would do anything for Lynne.”
Stay tuned for updates on the actor’s future projects.
