Dont know if this was posted already but it only adds to the stupidness of the rumours. Would someone at the WB put out a statement officially denying these and shelving this inevitable garbage of a project?
Mel Gibson for JLA
More rumors today from the misty world of the upcoming Justice League of America movie. As usual, they contradict at least half of the other rumors weve heard about the project, which means you should probably avoid taking any of it seriously.
This batch of gossip comes from IESB, where theyve taken to printing random emails from readers ( Luda's notes: And this is the site whom y'all wanna place your faith?). This particular random email claims to be from a guy working on the films pre-production, under the direction of George Miller. Yep, that George Miller. Mad Max and Happy Feet George Miller. Their source claims hes been hired as JLAs director and whats more the project will reunite Miller with his Mad Max Mel Gibson.
The rumor goes that George is in charge and that people like Bruce Willis, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel, and Leonardo DiCaprio are on Millers shopping list for the cast. In specific, he wants Willis for Lex Luthor, Johansson for Talia, and Mel Gibson fro a character named Max Lord. Youd think if youre going to cast big name stars, youd cast them as characters people care about. You know, Superman, The Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern or even the Martian Manhunter.
The whole thing is a little hard to believe. The email sounds suspect when you read it, and the pricetag necessary to bring that many stars into a single film would be prohibitive. Of course, if previous rumors that this is a computer animated movie are true, that might make the talent costs a little lower. I doubt Bruce Willis gets as much for voice work as he does for showing his ugly mug. The computer animated angle also sort of fits in with George Miller, who got his feet wet in the CGI world with Happy Feet and has expressed interest in doing more animated filmmaking in the future. This isnt the first rumor weve heard which suggests Miller is involved, so even if the rest turns out to be bunk I think theres a better than even chance that his involvement at least, will eventually check out.
It's suspect but it didnt stop others from running with it like every other stupid JLA Rumour
