Official Justice League Status Update Thread

[Gabe99]

Maybe it will be a JLA movie with Hawkman and Supergirl instead of the traditional team.

 

[Webhead2006]

lol who really knows, though we should get a better picture on things if that whole dc schedule thing is indeed revealed in jan.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

If they eventually get around to a Justice League movie, Dan Lin will have about as much direct involvement in it as Jon Peters had on Superman Returns.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm not gonna hold my breath for any sort of announcement. we've been down that road before.

 

[MadVillainy]

I want them to get their solo film game good before I see JL and as you said GreenKToo I'm not holding my breath for an announcement

 

[Docker2.0]

Bah! Just give me my Supermax movie. That movie sounded great and shouldn't be to expensive to make.

 

[GreenKToo]

Maybe we should be asking for films that we don't want, that way we would prolly get the ones that we do want.

(Ahem) I want a plastic man and wonder twins film.

 

[Webhead2006]

it does suck we just keep sitting around hoping for things to happen. it would be great if we did know for sure where certain characters did stand and all that.

Thanks Antonello. Interesting behind-the-scenes stuff.

 

[FaT_tONle]

So if anyone read the Nolan interview... now that Nolan confirmed he is keeping Bats/Supes separate... what's the timeline we are looking at before we get a JLA? If Superman makes bank and is kept separate... he's gonna get a trilogy. I mean you'd be looking at probably 2019 before the Supes trilogy is even finished. Maybe they will start incorporating other DC characters together as Nolan gets less and less involved, but it wouldn't look good at the moment. Maybe it's better to put off the DC cross overs for a decade, and take it one film/hero at a time. Can't blame them.

 

[Docker2.0]

It's a dumb idea. Seriously, Batman and Superman has been done numerous times. GL and Flash I can understand them having solo movies to build on but............them not crossing over is stupid. Especially with the fan reaction the small scenes the Avengers is having. I remember being in the theater when Nick Fury appeared at the end of Iron Man and even non comic fans were cheering. Can you imagine the reaction of seeing Superman flying beside the Batmobile and telling him about a team he and his friends are working on?!

 

[Webhead2006]

well yea it would be cool to have a jl film. But with all the other characters like ww/flash/aquaman/martian manhunter in mo real development stages. its really hard to have a cross promotional universe like marvel studios films are doing. So right now its probably best to have things each be their own universes, but leave it open in some way to say these other characters are there. So then if they do have a jl film by the end of this decade maybe it will be from the guys in these films.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Plus it's not like every character is gonna get their own trilogy. GL I think will be a one movie deal unless it shatters expectations. WW, Flash, MM... I don't see it. But I do think it is important to introduce some of them before JLA, or as many as possible. I don't mind waiting until the end of the decade/beginning of the next before we start getting some JLA movies. I don't think it's important they use the same actors either. Look at how many recasts have taken place over at Marvel up until now.

 

[Docker2.0]

What do you mean? There's been only one or two recast.

 

[Webhead2006]

i am sure gl is going to do well, and i am sure the plan has been for gl to be a triology at the least. But yea its pretty much a film by film deal with these characters. I do hope gl will do well for many sequels, and i hope we can get to see ww/flash solo films too. I agree some like aquaman/martian manhunter are probably less likely to get a solo film first. But hey we never know. if someone comes on board with a great idea wb likes maybe we will see a film from them.

 

[FaT_tONle]

What do you mean? There's been only one or two recast.

There will probably be more when all is said and done. I just don't think it's realistic to expect Renolds to return for a JLA 8-9 years from now if there is only one... MAYBE two GL films with Hal in the meantime. Good thing there are other Lanterns available. Same with Flash/WW if they see only one movie each between now and then, unless their movies are a couple of years before JLA is released, which is a distinct possibility.

Jay Baruchel Was Maxwell Lord In Stalled 'Justice League' Movie, Confirms Teresa Palmer

Posted by Rick Marshall

Remember when Warner Bros. was planning a live-action "Justice League" movie that put Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash on the same screen? With so much happening in the DC and the Marvel movie-verses the last few years, it's easy to forget about the film, which was scheduled to hit theaters in 2008 before stalling out. However, that doesn't mean we're not intrigued by what might have been.

When MTV News caught up with "Sorcerer's Apprentice" actress Teresa Palmer recently, she said she hoped to still play Talia Al Ghul at some point, and confirmed an old rumor that co-star Jay Baruchel was cast in the film as the main villain, Maxwell Lord.

"Jay and I were both attached to do that movie, 'The Justice League of America,'" said Palmer. "I was Talia Al Ghul, he was Maxwell Lord."

"It's been sidelined for the time being and we don't really know what's happening with it, so fingers crossed it will still come off the ground," she added.

Ha!

 

[Sawyer]

Then we should all consider ourselves lucky that that thing got cancelled.

Ha!

Interesting stuff, thanks guys.

Well, Palmer is confirming what we already knew for a long time. And i really don't see Miller's Justice League happening with the current cast so maybe it's best they put it out of their head's and move on.

Megan Gale seems to be doing just that with her first Australian feature film I Love You Too opening next month. Here's the poster, promo shot and a trailer feat. a short clip of Gale's scenes at the link.

It's funny:

Not only is there a fan-favorite for WW in that picture, but also a fan-favorite for Black Canary

 

[Webhead2006]

yea nothing new there though it is nice to hear the folks who were to be in the film thoughts on things and all that. But yea miller's jl is not ever likely to happen. And with them trying to get flash of the ground now, gl filming, and what ever happens with batman and the superman reboot. it will probably be a totally different jl film if it ever happens.

Exclusive : Gale still keen on Wonder Woman

by Clint Morris (Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at 11:47 pm )

Rumours abound that "Justice League of America'' is about to escape development hell and finally get back on track, with punters predicting a big announcement at the forthcoming San Diego Comic Con. If it is indeed happening for real this time, it probably goes without saying that the studio will likely start afresh - ditching most of the previously-announced cast members (Teresa Palmer, Armie Hammer, Common, Adam Brody and D.J Cotrona were all onboard the film before it collapsed in February of 2008) in favour of some bigger names (they do, after all, need to compete with the all-star looming all-star superhero spectacle, "The Avengers)''.

Actress Megan Gale, originally attached to play Wonder Woman, tells Moviehole she doesn't expect George Miller will be back - if only because he's going to be pretty busy for the next few years with other projects.

"If it is indeed back on, it'd be interesting to know who's directing it - because George Miller [who was originally attached to direct the film before it fell apart] is going to be busy with the new Mad Max film for the next couple of years'', Gale, out stumping her new film, "I Love You Too", said yesterday.

Gale admits she doesn't "know anything" about the latest rumour though, so will just continue hoping that she does indeed get to play Wonder Woman on the big screen in the near future.

"I'd love to do it", says the actress, confirming she'd been doing fight-training for the film in the lead up to its planned shoot. "And I'd love to see it happen."

There's a bit of a "superhero" connection to Gale's latest film, "I Love You Too", too - an "Incredible Hulk" watch plays an important role in the film.

Writer Peter Helliar explains that "we had to get [Marvel's] permission to feature it. And there's a scene at the end of the film where Yvonne Strahovski dresses up in a generic superhero costume - originally, that was going to be a Spider-man costume. And it would've been great if she could've dressed as Spider-Man but it would've been tough trying to convince them to let us use the likeness, so we settled on the generic one.''

[jmc]

She's got about as much chance of playing WW as my mother.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it was nice to hear she still would love to play the character. but at the rate jl and ww projects are moving. Its doubtful we would see either of them before like 2015 very likely. Plus we have no clue how wb will ultimately want to cast ww if it actually gets going. And gale isnt getting any younger. She is already what 33? in a few more yrs she may just be a shade to old.
