JL Casting Call Update

[04nbod]

I see Cuthbert more as Supergirl than Black Canary.

I think she's outgrown the role now and it would depend on the version they use.

Another article has director Robby Benson saying this about Hammer.

http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/news/makingofanevangelist.html

"I feel like I'm watching the beginning of a major movie star's career," Benson said. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in four decades of work. I've never seen anybody work as hard, I've never seen anyone absorb information as well, and to be honest, I've never seen the camera love someone as much as it does Mr. Armie Hammer. He's just absolutely brilliant."

Young Robby Benson

The way I remember it Robby Benson was very young when he started out as well. So was Robert Downey Jr.

NOT BATMAN!!!

He's a Booster Gold at best...

You mean NOT SUPERMAN. He has a cleft chin, which Hammer does not.

Armie Hammer


E-Man
(by Joe Staton and Nicola Cuti)

Actually I was thinking he had a resemblance to Joe Staton's E-Man.

For small movies like this, the more free press the better, I guess. Lots of pics from the set at that link.

Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen had a love child?!?!?!

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea the only things i ever did like about hammer is his height and his deep voice. I really cant judge his acting all i ever seen of his is one little clip from the DH episode he did. Really the major issue i and others had is he is far to young to play either superman or batman and if hammer was truly batman and DJ was to be superman that is such a major miss-casting of the two important roles. Now if jla ever gets off the ground again in the next few yrs hopefully the get a director on the project who knows his stuff, a good script, and find the right casting that fits each character in the right manner.

Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen had a love child?!?!?!

LMAO!! He does kinda like those 2, especially more with Hayden on the 2nd pic you respond to.

Common is out promoting "Wanted" and is still being asked about "Justice League".

And what about the buzz on another fan favorite, the delayed Justice League movie? Rumor has it that Common is up for the part of the Green Lantern, John Stewart. “Rumors are rumors,” Common says cryptically. “I will say right now that I would love to be Green Lantern. I love the Justice League. But that’s all I can say.”

Why the hell is everything so damn cryptic? Can no-one give a straight answer?

 

[Webhead2006]

Well the reason is no one probably knows what is the true status on the film? Is it totally dead and miller's version never happening, or are they just going to wait to after the whole SAG stuff settles and get things moving along. We all dont know.

 

[biolumen]

So it was a "Wanted" press junket Common was at in L.A. and IGN asked him about "Justice League" as well. Short video clip of the Q&A at the link below has Common saying he's not aware of what's going on with it but still holds out hope it is made.

[Webhead2006]

Yea like i said above your post looks like no one knows what is the status of jla film.

 

[GreenKToo]

Why the hell is everything so damn cryptic? Can no-one give a straight answer?

Its a top secret CIA thing. If they told us, they'd then have to kill us.

 

[Gotham]

Hasn't Common already confirmed that he was Green Lantern? I didn't know that was such a mystery still.

 

[dnno1]

Hasn't Common already confirmed that he was Green Lantern? I didn't know that was such a mystery still.

I think he is more concerned that the film will happen and if he will be available to do it when it does.

 

[supermankal-el]

I think it will b highly unlikely that the Big Two will feature as MOS looks like its going ahead n the probablity of a 3rd out for Bale as Batman. I hope im wrong because with Supes n Bats the JLA wouldnt be the same

 

[GreenKToo]

Wouldnt it be something if they announced both J.L. and M.O.S.?
Boy, talk about folks freaking out if they did.

 

[Webhead2006]

actually MOS is in the same boat as jla and each not looking to be happening any time soon.

More Common JL:M talk

Rapper-turned-actor Common told reporters that he has heard nothing about the on-again, off-again proposed Justice League movie, in which he was to play the Green Lantern.

"I don't know what's happening with Justice League, to be honest," Common said during interviews on June 16 in Beverly Hills, Calif., to promote his upcoming SF action movie Wanted. "I don't know if they are doing the film. If they do do it, I would love to be a part of it. ... It seems like a really good project to be a part of. I haven't heard anything."

Justice League was set to begin production in Australia under director George Miller, but was delayed by last year's writers' strike and a decision to pull production out of Oz when the film failed to win tax incentives. Several actors were at one time connected with the film, but the ongoing delays have thrown into question whether any of them will remain. Common was at one point linked to the role of John Stewart/Green Lantern.

"I love Green Lantern, man," Common said. "Anybody that, like, his superpowers [are] in his mind. ... He can create things with his mind as long as he has the ring, that's, like, ... me [laughs]."

Really?

 

[hippie_hunter]

actually MOS is in the same boat as jla and each not looking to be happening any time soon.

Actually an interview with Routh, that was posted today, states that Man of Steel is in development with script writers and is poised to start filming in early 2009 and that Justice League of America is in the back burner.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well actually from what is known there is no official writers signed on for the film, there is no green light for the film either. And really since 2006 how often have we heard from singer/BR about MOS in the works and they hope to begin filming soon talks.Currently who knows what the status of a singer MOS film happening and all that. YEs the cast and singer wants to do another film but does wb really want to go with them again we dont know. So untill there is news from official wb sources who knows if MOS is going to happen any time soon or at all. Yes it would be nice if they got another go at it to correct the mistakes they made with SR. Personally i and i know alot of others would like to see superman rebooted ala like TIH is for marvel is that likely to happen less likely but would be nice. WB does need to get cracking on what they want to do with superman be that a jla/wf film, MOS with singer, or even a reboot since they only have 5 more years left on the copyrights to the character if Shuster's heirs do get the other 50% rights from wb/dc and then they are screwed. If dc/wb are not able to work out a deal with the families to continue usage of the character in comics, cartoons, films, etc.

 

[GreenKToo]

If W.B. really wants a J.L. film then the smart thing to do would be to use M.O.S. for a launching point of sorts.
Have some names thrown around of other heroes. Heck, throw a cameo or two in.
BUT since this is W.B., I don't expect that.

Think about it. Your sitting there watching M.O.S. and all of a sudden a person introduces himself/herself to Clark as Barry Allen or Diana Prince.

Now who wouldnt geek out over that?

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea it would be cool if they were throwing cameos into tdk/MOS(if it happens) like marvel did with iron man and incredible hulk.

 

[GreenKToo]

I doubt they would do that for TDK.
M.O.S. would be more likely too, but even that's doubtful imo.

 

[az824]

i read that heath ledger was planned to do a cameo in the new supermax ga movie but circumstances will not allow this
