Not happy about the JLA movie coming out at all. Brandon Routh and Christain Bale won't be in it. Kills the continuity. The studio should wait until Superman and Batman are done. If they do it now it could be the decline of Superhero movies for a while. They are trying to cash in on the superhero movie success and they are gonna tip it overboard. It can only lead to disaster. Wrong, wrong, wrong timing.

Well that little tidbit seems to confirm some of my predictions for this thing...

At least they're straying far from the Bats & Supes franchises.

From the Superman Homepage.

Meanhile, AintItCool.com reports that the 'Young Hollywood" auditions mentioned above (and reported on here last week) were supposedly only for the roles of The Flash and Wonder Woman...

This source said that all those people above (and many more) were only reading for two characters: The Flash and Wonder Woman. The source assured me that the casting is skewing very young only for The Flash because he's the youngest member of the Justice League. And Wonder Woman is a goddess that doesn't age, so it's understandable she'd be cast young.



Also...

Clint at MovieHole.net has discovered that this was a fake script, and has removed the report from his website.

In other words, the script review that Clint talked about, it was a total fake.

I’m really glad that the 14 Justice League script pages turned out to be false because I was starting to get worried so hopefully the movie will be a lot better than the possibilities shown in those 14 pages.

Yes, the script pages posted were false. And now, Welling will not be in it. Miller is using his own cast without being beholden to Routh or Welling.

As much as I'd love to see Welling in JL, it sounds like fat lady is warming up.

GREGORY NOVECK: I think part of it is that the character is larger than the actor. If you look at Batman, Superman and Justice League as separate franchises, if all of a sudden you have Brandon in it but you don’t have Christian, then what movie is it? I think you have to have it stand on its own. I’m just speculating, but if I’m the director of this movie, I don’t want to have to be too careful of another director’s iteration of a character. If I use his actor, then I’m kind of beholden to it. What if George Miller hired Brandon and Christian, but he wanted Brandon to really play Superman tougher and wanted Christian to show more humanity, then all of a sudden you’re entering very strange creative territory. The same is true of using Tom Welling. I think ultimately it’s a better movie if you have different actors to keep the iterations of the characters distinct. The example I’ve been using is, is it the Mike Mignolia Batman versus the Frank Miller Batman? It’s still Batman, they’re just different versions of it. I think when we start to open up the films with that kind of lens, where you can say, “These are all Superman, but they’re different versions” – even from Tom Welling to Brandon Routh, right? – that’s pretty cool.

In other words, Miller is not using Welling or Bale or Routh.

People I don't want involved:
Shumacher
Bruckheimer
Bay

I really don't care who the actors are, so long as they do a decent job.

How about Lucy Lawless as WonderWoman?
Bruce Campbell as Superman? Or better yet, as Flash?

There are 3 crucial elements: Actors, Script, and Director. Having any 2 can counter the effect of the 3rd being bad. Only 1 of 3 is a recipe for disaster. Needless to say, 3of3 is the best option, but so seldom happens in hollywood, that it just isn't funny.

I'd say Lucy Lawless is to old and same with Bruce Campbell, besides being wrong for Superman or flash.

I wonder what the music will be like. Surely the Superman march will appear in some fashion...new themes for the other superheroes, maybe?

Maybe some of the Burton era Batman music. Assuming the Bat makes the cut.

The music question brings up my big concern with the whole project.

For me at least, the entire appeal of something like Justice League is the chance to see a team-up between characters we already know and love. Using tamer versions of Superman or Batman in order to make the team fit more seems to defeat the whole purpose of the movie.

These characters each operate within their own 'worlds': Gotham, Metropolis, Central City. The great thing about a team-up is seeing these places as part of the same world, but allowing the cities to retain their unique, identifiable personalities.

What I'd really like to see is a Keaton-esque Batman teaming up with a Reeve-equse Superman, in a film that utilizes their musical themes at least a few times.

Great ideas! I would love to see John Williams' score, also Elfman, etc.

I'm not too worried about a musical score for a JLA movie, because the Spidey flicks didn't really have a memorable tune to them. However, a great musical score does go a long way.

Personally, I would be in favor of Superman and Batman butting heads in this film; moreover Batman ruffling the feathers of the JLA members. I would hope a live action film would be nothing like the Superfriends. I mean, it would be great to see Batman and Superman in a conflict of opinions and methods. The contrast in characters helps build chemistry, drama and intrigue, much like a pirate, farm boy and princess. Aquaman would be a like wookie; Flash would be the wise cracking comic relief and Green Lantern would be, hmmmmm... thinking .

So Superman is the golden boyscott; Wonder Woman would be sassy and strong; Batman the goth, emo loaner; Flash comic relief; Green Lantern the smart guy and so on.

However, what would be the heroes together?
