The JLA movie is fraught with difficulties...least of all the absence of Routh and Bale. They are the legitimate heirs to the film iterations of the characters. Without them, I think the JLA falls apart or has to take a distinctly different direction...one without the big three (that means removing WW). It's possible to do and I think it might be worth exploring for the producers because there are several substantial hurdles ahead.

Sarah Michelle Gellar? Freddie Prinze Jr.? sick

Neither of these people can act to save their lives... That's why one has failed movie career and the other will always just be Buffy...

Sorry. I really feel strongly about how much they suck...

Top of the list was Bruce Campbell. dancing Of course I was joking. liarliar

And yes, those to not only suck, but blow also. And at the same time!

Gonzo, it's funny you should say that, cuz I had made a joke before about Vincent Chase being Aquaman... Actually, I think it would be kinda cool if Adrien Grenier was Aquaman. Of course it would be even Cooler if Cameron was doing this thing. Then, at least, it would be done right.

also, if we get the George Miller of Mad Max and not Happy Feet, I'd be really happy.

And Biel as Wonder Woman, does not really bother me, I could live with it. Btw, who was Joss Whedon going with as Wonder Woman, before he left the project? I forgot who the main canditates were.

I haven't read a Justice League comic book since the Death of Superman era, gotta catch up on some of it.

I'm hoping the whole thing falls apart and Bryan Singer gets back to Hollywood ASAP to save "Man of Steel."

Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

Basically everything from "Midsummer's Nightmare" to "The Lightning Saga". And no, Joss had no canidates.

Good. No offense to her, but she wasn't right for that role.

"And no, Joss had no canidates."

Sinister, I believe he once said in an interview that he liked Sarah Michelle Geller for the role. This was back during the the "glory days" of Buffy and he pretty much wanted her for everything he was working on... It happens. Look at Burton and Depp or Scorsese an De Niro & DiCaprio, the only difference is that Depp, De Niro, and DiCaprio have talent and SMG doesn't.

I would argue DeNiro. Actually, I would argue a number of "famous" actors who only seem to act the one, same part.
Even Harrison Ford seems to have type-cast himself--he only seems to play the occasionally flawed-but-otherwise-righteous hero (Henry, RotJ, AirForce One, Clear&Present Danger, Patriot Games, ... even Indianna Jones). THe only time I've seen him step outside that was Hollywood Homocide, which was an awful movie.
Now DiNero... He has the same squint and little head nod in every single movie. "Dis Guy, He's got tomales, comin afta my daughtah like dat." It's in almost every movie. There are a couple other actors (can't remember names) that have the same Italian Mobster type, even when they aren't playing mobsters. Some of them seem to thinks that Shouting = dramatic acting for scenes that are supposed to be tense.
DiCaprio got backlash for being the pretty-boy in Titanic, but he can act.
Depp's only mistake that I can think of was the Roman Polanski movie.

That said, even a one-note actor is better than a 0-note actor. (SMG, Freddie Prinze Jr, Keanu Reeves,...)

Joss didn't get WW until after he had finished Buffy and Angel. This was back in 2005. He said that he wasn't going to go after one of the girls from his shows, at first. Then he said that if they auditioned and did well, then he might consider one of them. Fans tossed Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Monica Baccren (sp) and Summer Glau around with Baccern being the fan favorite. Especially after she did Black Canary on JLU. But Whedon didn't commit himself as he still was trying to get through the script, which was taking time.

9th Gate.

Though anyone in a Roman Polanski movie, or even thinking of being in one, should be reminded why this person is not welcome in the United States.
