Justice League of America Movie Update
Variety is reporting that the director of Mad Max, George Miller, will bring a live action Justice League of America to the big screen. They are projecting that the movie will be Warner Bros. big release for 2009. Casting has already begun and filming is expected to take place in Australia.
According to Variety the JLA movie “will likely feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Aquaman,” but it is unlikely that Christian Bale and Brandon Routh will appear as Batman and Superman in the new JLA movie. Damn! Well, at least Damn for Christian Bale, Brandon Routh wasn’t all that great in my humble opinion.
It’s too early to be too excited. It’s going to be a very expensive film to make as a live action and according to Variety Batman helmer Christopher Nolan wants it delayed. With so many superhero roles to fill the project, which is based on script by Kieran and Michael Mulroney, it is so very complicated and casting-dependent that, according to Variety, “even those deeply involved in the project are holding their breath until production begins.”
The production of this movie has caused Bryan Singer’s sequel to Superman Returns to be delayed.
This could be an amazing movie if they can finally deliver it. Up till now, few DC movies have been all that great. Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Begins being the exception with Batman Begins being one of the best super hero movies ever made. DC needs to deliver more if they want to make up for that horrid Catwoman thing they tried to call a movie.
