Official Justice League Status Update Thread

[The Major]

i think they're going with GL right? in place of JL?

From what I've gathered that's got the best shot at adaption now JL is back in development hell.

You've got as good a guess as me whether it will actually get greenlit.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea right now the heroes that look more likely to get a film out within 2010-2012 range are green lantern and green arrow if they are as indeed indicted to be a higher priority with wb/dc to actually happen. If the films are anything like the talks about them have been i would totally be down to seeing them.

 

[The Major]

Agreed.

I'd expect GL to get greenlit before GA.

Maybe WB wants to use Watchmen as a test for GL. Then GL could be a test for Green Arrow.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i do see gl as the number one choice right now of possibly happening and i hope it does happen cause the script review sounds good and if they can make a good quality film and faithfully adapted the character we could have another hit like iron man was for marvel. Then i do see GA being number two in happening and like ironman who is a 2nd teir character for marvel GA is a good equvialent to iron man and if done in a good way could probably make a good profit. The supermax film sounds like a great and interesting twist on superhero films and i would love to see it happen. Then we come to the watchmen and right now we have that whole legal tie up between wb who had the film and fox who had the rights to make a film out of it since the early 90s but passed on it. I hope the film comes out and fox execs dont get they grummy hands on it and ruin what looks to be a sure fire hit.

 

[The Major]

Web:

Fox getting their hands on it could be a sacrifice WB needs to make to get Watchmen out.

They could soak those losses if Watchmen is good enough to get GL made and that proves to be a hit which could get lesser properties through. All which aren't linked to Fox.

I do hope they find a way to release Watchmen in any case. I really want to see that movie.

 

[Showtime]

They'll settle, it will cost WB as I said, but they'll settle. It is too far along at this point. They will reach some kind of agreement.

I think Green Lantern could be taking the place of both JL and Superman at this point depending on what happens at WB.

 

[dnno1]

Did you read the most recent article out of Variety? Fox doesn't want a settlement. They don't want to see the picture released at all.

 

[Evil Twin]

Fox is posturing.

Ultimately, Fox will lose the suit or WB will just cut them a check. Getting an injunction, especially since Fox waited so long to file, is extremely difficult. Even if they win, all they'll get is damages.

[I Am The Knight]

God I hate Fox. They better not f*** with Watchmen too much

...and?

Why do you even bother sporting a DC Comics avatar when you seem to want every WB/DC movie to feel besides Justice League?

 

[TheVileOne]

Fox isn't going to stop the release of the picture. It will get released no matter what. It doesn't matter what Fox wants.

 

[jmc]

Fox just want a share of the spoils for Watchmen, they don't want it not to be released, all they're doing is just puffing their chest at the moment, nothing else, it's a only thinly veiled threat to make sure WB are listening.

Showtime-I have been wondering with the progress of a Green Lantern and what logic tells you would be for a 2010 release, where does that leave some other possible releases. I'm asking for your opinion based on what you know at this point. Could WB release two DC characters a year, or are we looking at one per year at best?
One final question, you say GL is looking better than a Supermax/GA movie, but where does that leave a Shazam movie that was under New Line? Could WB release Two in a year, one under WB the other under New Line? Just curious and wanting your insightful opinion.

 

[TheVileOne]

But they do make comic book movies.

So what? You feed on misinformation just like Uncle Baghdad Bingo Bob with regards to Justice League.

I think their aim is two comic book related properties, at the most two. Shazam was once thought to be at the front, not sure what happened with it. The New Line thing is interesting.

 

[The Major]

Showtime:

Not sure whether it's true or not but I heard on another forum here that the reason Shazam lost momentum was thanks to the writer's strike.

The writer was very busy catching up on other projects so Shazam had to wait until he can finish a new draft.

 

[darthhalen]

Showtime-thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear the goal would be two films per year. I was hoping that would be the case. To me, a Shazam movie would work REALLY well around the holidays, say a Thanksgiving release. Plus, I really want to see Shazam. Lets hope WB really does follow through with some kind of announcement within the month. Keeping fingers crossed.

 

[TheVileOne]

Shazam wasn't really going anywhere before the strike either though.

 

[JokerLedger]

Excuse me but... What's the point of having this forum anymore? The Justice League project is dead, right? Might as well put Green Lantern in it's place

 

[protocida]

The Justice League movie is alive until a real important Warner figura come up and spill the beans: ''Not going to happen now''.

 

[Showtime]

Well Noveck sort of said that they are waiting until things are right?

 

[Gotham]

Well Noveck sort of said that they are waiting until things are right?

I'm surprised that the writers haven't said anything.

 

[Showtime]

They aren't that talkative...

 

[JokerLedger]

I thought it was already confirmed that George Miller's version was dead and not going to happen.

There will be a JL movie eventually but that's probably waaaaaaaaay down the road.
