BG Note: The star of We Need To Talk About Kevin, Fantastic Beasts and the upcoming Flash movie is featured in the cover story of the November 7, 2018 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.
[The Hollywood Reporter] …A year later, Miller landed opposite Emma Watson in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, a more traditional coming-of-age story that put him on the top of studio wish lists. Flash and Beasts’ Credence somehow penetrated his Hollywood disaffection (they “resonate with my soul”). But he hopes to make more films with [Director Lynne] Ramsay, “the greatest director alive,” whose treatment by the film’s financier and producer after her firing from 2015 Western Jane Got a Gun enrages him. “Powerful men, they don’t know how bad they want to submit to a woman, a feminine power, but they should. I advise they do it immediately because they’re fuckin’ up the world.”
This bleeds into Miller’s own #MeToo moment, which he has never shared, with an unnamed director and producer.
“They gave me wine and I was underaged,” he recalls. “They were like, ‘Hey, want to be in our movie about gay revolution?’ And I was like, ‘No, you guys are monsters.'”
He’s on a roll now. “It’s a great f*ckin’ age of being like, ‘You know what? That shit’s unacceptable,’ And it’s amazing for a lot of us to watch. ‘Cause, like, we all knew it was unacceptable when we f*cking survived it. That’s what Hollywood is. I thought we all knew we were sex workers.”
Hollywood’s warped hierarchy brings out Miller’s intensity, but not nearly as much as the subject of climate change. In fact, that line of conversation brings the actor to tears. “Gaia, we don’t understand her. We don’t understand how powerful she is. We don’t respect her rights,” he says, shaking. “I’m just an emotional person. I just feel things differently. Yes, I’m crying already in the interview.”
Often cited as the first non-hetero film superhero (Ian McKellan’s X Man Magneto was a villain), Miller has long identified as queer. “Yeah, absolutely. Which is to say, I don’t identify. Like, fuck that,” he says. “Queer just means no, I don’t do that. I don’t identify as a man. I don’t identify as a woman. I barely identify as a human.”

Could the film be Milk?
He would’ve been sixteen so definitely underage.
tundra says
I’m guessing this is the 2008 movie “Milk,” with the clue in the Similar.
I’m sorry that happened to him. He sounds kind of unhinged, so maybe it affected him more than he admitted.
I’ll describe the outfit in three words: desperate for attention.

Itsmaryk says
Had to google that, and you’re dead on
Stubbs says
No idea on the flick or people – but that outfit is definitely Leather God Emperor
hvp5ss says
I can’t figure out if underage means under 18, or under 21 (not legal to drink) so it’s hard to narrow down a timeline for the movie.
But the culprits sound any awful lot like Gus Van Sant &/ or James Franco, who did multiple projects, together and separately, that could fit the theme.
Optional:
Fabulous coiled snake.
CanaryCry says
Movie: either Milk or Stonewall

Wow, googled Roland and he sure likes ’em young! His husband looks like a kid and then I read they had been together 9 years prior to getting married :O
cassadaga says
Stonewall was announced in 2013. Ezra would’ve been 21 at the time, not underage.
itstarapagain says
We don’t even know if this movie was ever real, got made or was just an excuse to have meetings with tipsy underage boys. Because we know that it has NEVER happened before like that. Ever.
johnchas1 says
I worked on Milk, and while I never witnessed anything inappropriate, I can attest that
Van Sant has an eye for the young ones. If you’re correct, Miller would have been
considered for the role of Danny Nicoletta that ended up going to Lucas Grabeel. To
be clear, I worked on the film for about a month of it’s two month shoot and never saw
anything inappropriate, but were I a betting man I would go with your guess.
johnchas1 says
No, Miller was in his early 20s when Stonewall went into pre-production.
