Official Justice League Status Update Thread

[Gotham]

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.

Well, it wasn't officially confirmed. And then Alan Horn said there was still a lot of interest in it.

George Miller's Justice League with Megan Gale and Arnie Hammer?

He just said Justice League. But I thought he was talking about George Miller's version. Maybe not?

The Variety article that just recently came out on how WB plans on handling their superhero projects states that the studio remains interested in a JLA movie whether that be in a year or ten years from now. Horn stressed the importance of getting everything right first, getting all their ducks lined up in a row. And he stated this project and the characters involved and how they all intersect requires a lot of research. Basically, expect the movie, if it ever happens, later then sooner.

Hopefully they will take it seriously and treat it in a good way.

 

[The Major]

Preferably after they've gotten good solo movies for the primary lesser franchises.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

They better put a move on their plans because "father time" is working against them; I mean how much longer till people grow tired of superhero/comic book movies in general. The public gets tired with certain genres fast nowadays...

They'll grow tired the second all the adaptions turn to crap.

As long as the quality stays up there will be interest.

That can't be avoided, just delayed.

The Superhero genre will eventually go the way of the Musical and the Western, but not for at least the next 10-15 years, it's just hit it's Golden Age, there is plenty of time to do any number of films between now and then, no need to rush things, otherwise you'll end up with crap cinema.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

Oh I agree whole-heartedly jmc; the last thing I want is any rushed DC films. I'm just worried that the demand for these movies might not be here for too much longer. We comic-geeks, admirers and readers can wait forever but it's more than just about pleasing us; the greater public has to have a desire to see these movies too. Hopefully when we get our JLA it'll blow all other comic book team movies out of the atomsphere and garner a sequel or two.

...Is that from MK vs DC? Captain Marvel vs Catwoman?

Yes, and so are these:

This one is for theVileOne and all the other Batman fans out there:

Post envy.

Yes, indeed.

 

[Showtime]

Theres nothing there?

 

[Showtime]

WELL, NZ may have Peter Jackson but we have George Miller. The worst-kept secret in Sydney has been confirmed: Happy Feet2, the sequel to Miller's animated hit, is in production. Dr D Studios, the Kennedy Miller Mitchell joint venture with Omnilab, has announced on industry bulletin boards that it is hiring. Its website even points to a "director of recruitology". Just to spice things up, it also mentions it's in pre-production on the seemingly immortal Justice League of America, Babe3 and Fury Road, or what most will know of as Mad Max 4.

[Gotham]

Guess he's full steam ahead on Happy Feet 2 now, then?

 

[jmc]

Certainly look as such, was unaware Babe 3 was on the cards.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Happy Feet 2, Babe 3 and Mad Max 4. Miller sure is pretty original with the projects in his pipeline.

 

[Evil Twin]

It wouldn't actually surprise me if WB and George Miller have simply decided to reshuffle their schedule.

Something like

Happy Feet 2

Mad Max 4 (also works to help convince fanboys that he still has his serious action chops)

Babe 3

JLA (to come out after Nolan's next Batman film and avoid conflict)

 

[dnno1]

Yes, and so are these:

That's funny, I see something. Try hitting the refresh button.

 

[Showtime]

Weird. Now I see them. Thanks for sharing.

I definately need to pick up that game.

 

[TheVileOne]

Midway was smart enough to use Hal Jordan. They know who fans want to play as.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Happy Feet 2, Babe 3 and Mad Max 4. Miller sure is pretty original with the projects in his pipeline.

Tell me about it. Talk about playing it safe

 

[Double Down]

Agreed, but how hard would it be for them to make it so you could also play as John Stewart, Kyle Rayner or Guy Gardner? If they have already created the Green Lantern template, isn't this an easy change they could make? I'm just wondering.

 

[The Major]

Tell me about it. Talk about playing it safe

Sequels don't bother me.

If they have a good stories to tell I don't see why film makers shouldn't do it.

That could be a download away.

Oh, I agree. But he's only doing sequels?
