Would you pay to see a movie about the Justice Society of America?

[Dr. Fate]

Everyone talks about a film adaptation of JLA but never about a film adaptation of JSA so I'd like to ask if there was ever to be a film about the JSA (Justice Soceity of America) would you pay money to see it?

[CConn]

Honestly, I would pay money to see a Bi-Beast movie if it was made well enough.

[GL1]

I would pay money to see it if they had experienced actors as the older heroes and unknowns as the younger ones. That would probably move me... of course, I went to see League of (allegedly) Extraordinary Gentlemen, so perhaps I'm a pushover...

[Dr. Fate]

Well, that's 2 so far.

[Majik1387]

Probably not because I'm not as familiar with the characters as I am with the Justice League. But if it looks to be a good movie then yes.

[Dr. Fate]

Well for those who would like to see a JSA movie, would you like to drop casting suggestions?

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

Brad Pitt- Alan Scott

[Deadman666]

It should be a WW2 period piece that introduces the JSA being founded with the heroes at their prime.

The audiences would need an origin.

We need casting for:

Alan Scott

Jay Garrick

Wildcat

Dr Fate

Star Man (Jack Knight)

Hourman

Sandman

Hawkman

The Spectre

and

Black Canary

[War Lord]

I'd be willing to go see it in the cheapies, but I don't think I'd pay the box office price.

i think that 10 members is a little much 5 or 6 would be better for a 2 hour movie.

Alan Scott
Jay Garrick
Wildcat
Dr Fate
Star Man
Sandman
Hawkman

[dnno1]

If Power Girl was in it I would. Oh yeah, and Wild Cat, The (Jay Garrick) Flash, Hourman, Dr. Midnight, Dr. Fate, and Sandman too.

[Red Mask]

Brandy Ledford for Black Canary.

[Deadman666]

i think that 10 members is a little much 5 or 6 would be better for a 2 hour movie.

Alan Scott
Jay Garrick
Wildcat
Dr Fate
Star Man
Sandman
Hawkman

Yes and No. It would be like X-men; 7 or 8 leads with a few cameo lesser characters in the background.

JSA main characters:

Alan Scott
Jay Garrick
Wildcat
Dr Fate
Star Man
Sandman
Hawkman
Black Canary


Background characters:

Dr Midnight
Hourman
Original Mr Terrific

etc.... (basically a bunch of costumed detective-like heroes like Crimson Avenger).


All organized by President Rosevelt to fight genetically engineered metahuman creatures by the Germans and their allies during WW2.

[Deadman666]

Brandy Ledford for Black Canary.

Decent choice but a bit too old if its an origin story with these heroes at their prime.

A mid to late 20s actress would be preferable.

X-Men had three leads, and five-ten lesser characters in the background... to be fair... it can be done, but X-Men is hardly a model of team balance...

[Dr. Fate]

X-Men really had only 1 lead - Wolverine.

What other actors would you consider, besides the one who said Brad Pitt as Alan Scott?

[GL1]

(Sigh...) The sad truth.

That said, if we're having Brad Pitt around, then dang... we might as well just buy the bank...

Colin Farrel as Dr. Midnite
The Rock as Hawkman
Tom Cruise as Hourman
Matt Damon as The Flash
Johnny Depp as Dr. Fate
Dennis Haysbert as the Spectre
Kate Beckinsdale as Black Canary
Nicolas Cage as Elipso

There... a fun time to be had by all...

[Deadman666]

Oh. I meant x2 for example; Wolverine, Storm, Jean, Professor X, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Iceman...

Compared to Collusus, Kitty Pryde etc (the background mutants who have cameo-like appearances).

:(

We'll have to talk about a more serious casting for JSA next time.

[Red Mask]

Decent choice but a bit too old if its an origin story with these heroes at their prime.

A mid to late 20s actress would be preferable.

It doesn't need to be an origin story.

[Deadman666]

Yes it does. Otherwise audiences wont connect to these characters or understand them. Theyve never been done before.

Superman didnt need to be an origin story since Donner already explored the origins.

It should at least be when President Roosevelt decided to form the JSA in the heat of ww2. That was their finest hour and their defining moment in history.

I want to make this film seem like the JSA were legends, and Superman's own personal heroes.

They set the mold for future heroes to follow and some gave their lives heroically for America.

[Red Mask]

I meant they don't have to tell the origin of their powers. As long as they act like heroes there's no need to spend much time doing that.

P.S. Brandy Ledford for Black Canary.

[Deadman666]

I meant they don't have to tell the origin of their powers. As long as they act like heroes there's no need to spend much time doing that.


I think there should be a few flashback sequences to certain key members discovering their powers; akin to the flashback in SR of young Clark discovering flight.

[Deadman666]

Heres my JSA Cast so far. You really need actors who are strong enough to convey the classic essense of these characters, coming out of the 1940s.

Jay Garrick (The Flash) - Cole Hauser. Strong actor.

http://www.mozinet.hu/site/conf/upload/mozinet_DAT138_1240.jpg

http://media.movieweb.com/galleries/2460/2024/lo/co6.jpg

Alan Scott (The Green Lantern) - Connor Trinneer. Great actor, great classic presense; Star Trek Enterprise, Stargate etc

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/tifflover/connor.jpg http://www.startrek.com/imageuploads/200409/connor-trinneer-2/320x240.jpg

Ted Grant (Wildcat) - George Eads. Good actor; CSI. Could look the part of a pro boxing champion.

Alright, that's a good start.

This is probably a stupid question, but should a JSA film include Captain Marvel?

[keatonisbatman]

I always loved the JSA more than the JLA.

Alas, there will never be a feature film of either. No, im not counting that made for TV JLA POS either.

[Deadman666]

Alright, that's a good start.

This is probably a stupid question, but should a JSA film include Captain Marvel?

Nope, his rights are tied up with Peter Segal's Shazam film.

[ToddIsDead]

I'd pay all the money in the world for a JSA movie. A WWII period JSA film would be great and probably a better route than a JLA film.

[Dr. Fate]

Nope, his rights are tied up with Peter Segal's Shazam film.
My bad.

Can you imagine the young
http://www.astor-theatre.com/images/ben-hur/heston.jpeg as Alan Scott http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Alan_scott-ross.jpg

[Deadman666]

Ya that would have been cool. I've always pictured young Alan Scott as more of a young Robert Redford-type. I know Conner Trinneer can kinda play that off.

[Cyrusbales]

JSA, as in spectre!!!!!! hell yeah!

[Dr. Fate]

Ya that would have been cool. I've always pictured young Alan Scott as more of a young Robert Redford-type. I know Conner Trinneer can kinda play that off.
Young Robert Redford... I hadn't thought about that. Interesting idea, and probably a better match height wise (I don't think Alan Scott's all that tall according to DC, like 5'11", where as Heston, in his prime, stood 6'3", whereas Redford was only 5'10").

[COME ON !]

I don't know what JSA is, but yeah, probably.

[Deadman666]

Ya and Conner Trinneer is around 5'11 - 6. The southern accent he wears on ST Enterprise is a fake too.

Casting Starman, Hourman, Spectre, Hawkman and Canary is trickier though.

[J.R.]

I would pay to see it two or three times probably.

[Donnie Darko]

I would pay to see it. However, I'm gonna go ahead and say Jay Garrick would probably not be in it because they are probably saving all things "Flash" for the feature film of the same name. The same thing may be said of Alan Scott. However, they could just call him Sentinal instead of Green Lantern.

It's always something.

Would you accept this guy as Alan Scott?
http://209.204.252.91/ROS/rosbiopix/rbthood.jpg

[dmor173]

would you want it set in WW2 or present day?

Would you want it to acknowledge superman and the jla or do you want them to stand on it own.

Black Adam or Captain marvel?

And is it just me or do you think that the same way X-men recognised wolverines potential, JSA would do the same to Wildcat.

my line up is...

Alan Scott
Wildcat
Dr Fate
Black Adam
Mr Teriffic

and i cant decide or the women, powergirl doesnt really fit anymore.

[Deadman666]

would you want it set in WW2 or present day?

WW2 of course. Perfect backdrop for an epic JSA origins story.

Would you want it to acknowledge superman and the jla or do you want them to stand on it own.?

No. Its the 1940s. Superman isnt born yet.

Black Adam or Captain marvel?

Neither. They are tied up with the present day Captain Marvel film.

And is it just me or do you think that the same way X-men recognised wolverines potential, JSA would do the same to Wildcat

Ya possibly.


my line up is...

Alan Scott
Wildcat
Dr Fate
Black Adam
Mr Teriffic

This is my lineup. Its pretty classic:

Major Characters (8)

Alan Scott
Jay Garrick
Wildcat
Dr Fate
The Spectre
Hawkman
Starman
Black Canary

Background Cameo Appearances (Similar to Collusus and Kitty Pride in X2)

Sandman
Hourman
Dr Midnight



and i cant decide or the women, powergirl doesnt really fit anymore.

Black Canary. Hippolyta is tied up with the WW movie.

Ya. I was going to say the same thing.

Have Jay Garrick and Alan Scott wear their same normal traditional costumes....but call:

Alan Scott - Sentinal

Jay Garrick - Scarlett Speedster


They could still be used.
