Sorry about the lack of solid Justice League news, people are being very quiet but I did get an a call from an agent friend of mine from ________ just a few minutes ago and told me that as of yesterday Welling was still in negotiations.
So what has been going on? First let me try to explain a little about the New York Times article, they were wrong, almost.
Pretty simple, I have been told by various sources that this film is moving forward 100%. So is Justice League green lit? Officially no, why? The movie is officially in Prep and could stay in prep mode til about 6 weeks before cameras roll. The reasons studios do this is because once a movie is officially green lit then that is when the studios have to start paying off producers and so on and so on.
By keeping it in pre-production they can hold on to their cash a little longer. This happens all the time and is not new in Hollywood. Pre-production is full steam ahead with all departments working full time on the project.
In regards to Tom Welling, we have been reporting for awhile that WB execs want Welling but that it was always Gough/Millar who were causing problems, they want to be producers on the film. It's always about the dough, fair enough.
I am hearing that key roles have been filled but I haven't been able to get any confirmations of which ones.
I have read what Countingdown is reporting, sound plausible, I think Friday may be a little pre-mature, but who knows.
Oh, almost forgot, the script is complete and has been complete for a bit, who knows maybe a review will pop online sometime soon
Yes friends, Justice League is coming summer of 2009.
