Justice League moves forward. In Canada.
Wait. I thought that the Justice League movie was dead in the water? Has hell frozen over? Is Tom Cruise running for President?
And shit, now they are going to blame Canada for all this. They are moving the production to Canada.
SuperHero Hype says:
Justice League was due to be shot at Fox Studios this year until Warner Bros suspended production last month, citing uncertainty over the new incentives. Based on a comic book, it is due to star the Australians Megan Gale, Teresa Palmer and Hugh Keays-Byrne among eight lead roles and employ a huge crew that includes visual effects specialists.
“One of the reasons for doing Justice League in this country is the opportunity to bring back all the people we lost on Happy Feet who went overseas,” Miller said. “We spent four years developing this talent and the cream of them left because they didn’t have another film to go on to …
“The idea is to say come back, start off on Justice League then move onto Happy Feet 2.”
So the only reason they are even going to BOTHER with Justice League is to lure back their Happy Feet team for a sequel?
As if this movie wasn’t already wrought with a dozen wrong reasons for being made, now they are going to strive forward with their pointless Teen Titans flavoured script and piss all over their existing successful franchises JUST to get all the Happy Feet team in the same room.
They couldn’t find another project to get them to work on? And this is the only excuse they had to go back to Justice League?
This is a bullshit sandwich with the crust left on. Damn them all to hell.
At least we will get some amusement when JL fails and the entire internet can point a finger at them and say “Told ya So!”
I just hope they write Batman out. Considering the fact that Batman has a well-established franchise right now that don’t really mesh with this project means he shouldn’t be in this piece of crap.
Which means they should write out Superman too.
And while they are at it, they have Flash movie coming out too and eventually Green Lantern and Arrow….
So if they wanted to make a movie about the B Class, I wouldnt mind. But it can’t be Justice League without Bats, WonderWoman and Superman. Hell, it almost isnt right without Lantern or Flash either.
Soooooo……why couldn’t they do Happy Feet 2 and ask the team to come back?
Oh…oh no.
So this is what it feels like to be in a horror movie.
Just when you thought you killed the main bad guy killer dude, BAM he springs up out of nowhere to resume the chase…
I’m forgetting. What does the “A” in JLA stand for again?
:)
I have one word: FUCK!
Sidenote: I wonder….Deathstroke may not have connection to TDK anyway…
Sorry about that thought.
Until we hear WB flat out say, “Yes folks, we’re making JLA!” Don’t buy a word of any of this.
Even George Miller doesn’t appear to know where the film stands at this point (i.e. he said its current status was “precarious”)
no, not happy feet 2!
We should boycott all goods from Canada so that their economy fails and they won’t have the funds to make the JL movie!
YES!!!! YES!!! YES!!!! OH HELL YEAH!!!!
omg omg ok- first off- i want to say that i WANT a good cast this time- i dont want meyers from hellboy playing superman i want good actors not the kids they were going to use
ok heres my jamie jla squad
rey reynolds- flash
tyreese gibson -green lantern
tom welling- superman
clooney or someone thats done batman before- batman
dotn care about the rest just meet the age and famous factor requirement for those 4 characters (yeah they cant be kids)
yeah thats not going to happen is it^^^^^^ damn…
@ melbye
i think that if we put someone famous enough itll go in well- i mean we cant get bale in it but i think that if we get a old batman or a new famous one itll be good
but you cant have JLA without batman though
There is only one GOOD way to do an ensemble team hero movie. Get individual films to solidify the characters and the actors playing them. Get them all to star in ONE movie.
Oh wait, thats how they are setting up the Avengers movie. Guess DC doesn’t want to do it the RIGHT way, they would rather lose all their money on a crappy kid version that the fans will hate.
@ Rodney
unfortunatedly…i agree with you
they are horrible at casting but marvel is doing a great job with the avengers so far making movies for each of them and yes- thats how a superheroe league movie SHOULD be done but.. i seriously doubt that bale and brandon routh will be on this film (actually im sure theire bnot going to be in it) so- if they arent..the best they could do is get known actors you know?
dudes people..
i think this beats jla’s casting guys!!!!!!!!!!
ok heres my avengers line up- ok here goes- u ready?? might be too much- you ready!? ok here goes!
thor- Ray Winstone- (dude from beowulf guys- its pefect)
skarlet witch- vinnessa shaw
captain america- blonde thomas jane!!!!!!!
hawkeye- jake gyllenhaal
black panther- vincent regan
moonknight- karl urban (long hair!!!)
ironfist- jason statham (with ablack dragon tat on chest)
nomar the prince of atlantis- the rock
antman- james franco
wasp- tonks from the 5th harry potter movie
spiderman ironam and the other heroes with characters already get their own individual movie characters like tobay mcwire, hugh jackman and robert downey
JLA – The Jason Voorhees of movie rumors. JUST FRIGGIN DIE ALREADY! I mean Happy Feet 2?????? The reason that this “young *garbage* Hollywood” version of the JLA is set to proceed is because they just want to get their team back together so that they can immediately go into the production of Happy Feet 2 as soon as they’re done with this abortion???
Quick Question – how can Warners Bros, who made arguably my favorite comic book movie of all time in the form of Batman Begins, and seems to be striking all the right cords with the Dark Knight, be SO SO SO misguided in proceeding with this project (JLA) in it’s current form?Right now this movie is the epitome of the term “train wreck waiting to happen”.
Please, people at Warner Bros, you have the perfect blueprint of how to pull this genre off right in the form of Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Spiderman 2, Iron Man, etc.
Wait until the time is right, cast your characters the right way, set up your characters individually thus making them all popular in main stream consciousness, THEN proceed with the JLA movie. Please.
yeah i agree with DirkAngerReloaded23 – dont fuck up the casting they should take their time- but still i want JLA done
last time they tried they csted horrible people for it (are they going to re-do that?? cuz they need to get new actors idk what he hell theyre doing)
and make individual flash and green lantern movies before JLA and use the same actors in jla
WHY CANT THEY USE BALE AND ROUTH?? I KNOW THEYRE NOT GOING TO BE BATMAN AND SUPERMAN BUT….WHHHYYYY NOOOT??? MARVELS DOING IT WITH THE AVENGERS!
You’re not reading the article right. It’s about trying to get a 40% tax credit from the Australian government as an Australian production instead of 15% as a foreign production. Miller is arguing that having Justice League film Australia will be good for the Australian economy because they can do that movie and then do Happy Feet 2. Nowhere does he say “I don’t want to make this movie, I want to make Happy Feet 2.”
I still think George Miller knows what he’s doing and look forward to all you nerds backpedaling the second they release a kickass trailer.
Superman and Batman shoulde be in the Justice League movie along with Wonder Woman, It wouldn’t be the Justice League without them. They are the big 3. It wouldn’t be true to the comics because in there, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the ones who started it, but with Superman the top dog. I don’t care what other heros they used as long as those others team up with the big 3.
