Hollywood star Ezra Miller, known for their electrifying performance as The Flash, has scored a fresh role in an upcoming vampire movie. This time, they're teaming up once again with Lynne Ramsay, director of the acclaimed film "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Ramsay shared this exciting news in a recent chat with The Los Angeles Times, marking Miller's return to the silver screen after a series of personal controversies.
“I’m making a vampire movie,” Ramsay revealed, adding, “It’s with Ezra Miller who was in Kevin. He’s the main character. That’s in development.”
Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, previously collaborated with Ramsay in the 2011 drama "We Need to Talk About Kevin." This new project promises another intense performance, with Ramsay hinting that production is further along than expected, quipping, "You won’t wait for 10 years. I don’t have 10 years. I’ve got to do it quicker than that."
The road back to Hollywood has been rocky for Miller, who faced a whirlwind of legal troubles in 2022. The actor was arrested in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and later faced assault charges. Moreover, troubling accusations of grooming and burglary surfaced, making headlines worldwide. In the midst of these scandals, Miller took a step back, addressing the public with an apology and a commitment to seek help for mental health challenges. "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior," Miller said. "I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
Lynne Ramsay is no stranger to cinema buffs, having made waves with her last feature film "You Were Never Really Here," and now the Cannes-premiered "Die, My Love." As Ramsay gears up for this new vampire film, fans are eager to see what fresh cinematic thrills she will bring alongside Miller. With her previous works starring the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, this new project is sure to draw significant attention.
As we await further details, one thing’s for sure – Ezra Miller's next chapter is shaping to be as captivating as a Malibu sunset.
