Ezra Miller, a troubled actor, is set to star in Warner Bros' forthcoming $250 million superhero film The Flash, but after being caught up in the controversies of the previous six months, rumors of a possible replacement are swirling. Following its debut in June 2023, George MacKay is reportedly at the top of the list to replace Miller in the role of Barry Allen in future DC comic film sequels, according to MovieWeb.com, citing credible sources on Twitter. Fans of social media have fuelled the rumors, with some even creating fan art to replace Miller with MacKay. The allegations follow following a string of arrests and accusations of erratic behaviour by the 'Flash' actor from Hawaii to Vermont.

The Scoop on Saoirse Ronan's Super Private Love Life

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 19, 2022
Saoirse Ronan's love life is one of the topics of conversation you won't hear discussing. The actor, who won fans over in 2017's "Lady Bird" and again in 2019's "Little Women," is notoriously tight when it comes to disclosing personal information about her personal life. Of Ronan's suitors, only one has been named, but it wasn't her who spilled the tea. When filming their 2013 film "How I Live Now," Ronan and fellow actor George MacKay started dating. In a 2013 interview with the Irish Mirror, Kevin Macdonald, the film's director, said that his two lead actors "fell in love." "They fell in love and it was simple throughout the film, and I'm hoping that I'm not speaking out of turn," he said of Ronan and MacKay. "It was Saoirse's first proper boyfriend, and in a way, she was living through the same thing that the story is about." Ronan never addressed Macdonald's words in a public forum.

One And All - a Buoy band on the crest of a wave. KATE MUIR writes Fisherman's Friends

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 19, 2022
KATE MUIR: One And All (pictured) brings the corny back to Cornwall in an enjoyable, sea-shanty film based on a band of folk singers. The Fisherman's Friends journeyed from their home village of Port Isaac to top-ten international prominence in 2019. This second instalment is less about 'hoo-ray and up she rises' and more about 'what shall we do with the drunken sailor?' That's James Purefoy, who plays Jim, the singers' sarcastic, charismatic leader. Jim drowns his sorrows on a regular basis, traumatized by his lobster-fisherman father Jago (David Hayman), who founded the original band, but he was drowned. The remainder of the Fishermen are also struggling with fame on tour. At the Grimsby Docks Social Club, we see a tumultuous night in which one of the old singers asks a female journalist if she likes "meat in her history" and enjoys a glass of wine in his face. Rowan (Sam Swainsbury), the village's handsome married barman, is almost suffocated by women in pink at a Northern hen night, while the handsome married barman is almost suffocated by women in pink.
