Justice League May be Moving to Canada

February 25, 2008

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Warner Bros.' Justice League movie might be moving its production from Australia to Canada:

Justice League was due to be shot at Fox Studios this year until Warner Bros suspended production last month, citing uncertainty over the new incentives. Based on a comic book, it is due to star the Australians Megan Gale, Teresa Palmer and Hugh Keays-Byrne among eight lead roles and employ a huge crew that includes visual effects specialists.

"One of the reasons for doing Justice League in this country is the opportunity to bring back all the people we lost on Happy Feet who went overseas," Miller said. "We spent four years developing this talent and the cream of them left because they didn't have another film to go on to ...

"The idea is to say come back, start off on Justice League then move onto Happy Feet 2."

Miller described the movie's status as "precarious" and said Warner Bros was pushing for it to be shot overseas, with Canada the most likely option.

I guess there's a reason they're not calling this movie "Justice League of America"...

This Justice League movie is just plain stupidity without Bale or Routh in it. The problem with Warner Brothers is a complete lack of continuity in the Super Hero movies. I mean how many freaking Batmans have we had in the last 18 years? Keaton, Clooney, Kilmer, Bale... Now we have a great Superman and they want to replace him again? WTF?

Marvel does it right, they use the same actors which makes the movies so much better.

I think that this film should wait until three Batman's (w. Bale) and 3 Supes (w. Routh) have been released and every other member of the JLA has their own film. It doesn't make sense to waste storylines and characters in an uberfilm when they can spread around story ideas and keep things focused. Studios screw up comic book movies all the time. JLA is something so big, that unless characters and plots, traits and psychoses are properly formatted and figured out, it's bound to be miserable.

I can't wait to see how this movie turns out, although I'm more stoked for the Avengers movie. I love the direction Marvel is going with that, by having Tony Stark make an appearance in The Incredible Hulk for starters. It'll be a good time.

I can handle not having Bale or Routh in this movie but honestly if they wanted to please people than Tom Welling should've been cast. By bringing in him they'd have brought in an actor who has played Clark Kent longer than anyone in history. Somebody fans can Identify with.

Please, stop complaining that they aren't using DC's "A-list" celebrities for this. You think a the Marvel kids got upset over the Ultimate Avenger DVDs ? No Robert Downy Jr(Iron Man), no Eric Bana/Ed Norton (Hulk), NO Hasselhoff? (Nick Fury). get over it! its just voices...somehow, the world will keep spinning
