Jeepers! An E reporter recently chatted with Armie Hammer about the status of Justice League, and Armie thinks it is still happening! We get the peculiar scoop from our friends over at IESB:
Got an alert to an article posted on the E! Website, interesting in a purely comical way, the columnist talked to Hammer while he was shooting in Vancouver this week and says Justice League is still a go and they are just waiting for a location. Now that’s a double take!
I’m sorry, did you all not read the Wall Street Journal interview with Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov where he had a whole lot to say about the future of JLA? Apparently not.
I am not sure if Armie is being kept in the dark, being lied to or suspending disbelief. As glad as I am that the Justice League project has been axed, you have to feel for the people that were cast as the heroes. Armie Hammer apparently has a Batman suit made for him, wore it ….and now will not be Batman. That is like getting the best christmas present ever, only to have your father hawk it for booze the next day.
The reporter that interviewed him should have gave him the straight goods and talked about other topics. Poor Armie now looks like a discombobulated dullard as a result of this. I hope someone from Warner Bros. gives the dude a call and sets him straight; and in the name of all that is good and just – let him keep the suit.
