It seems Dark Horizons had an unfortunate incident with a one-time reliable scooper as the previous news regarding George Miller no longer being attached to direct the Justice League movie was a bunch of hooey.
Garth over at DH reached out to those that reported on the story pointing to an update where he reports the following:
A representative from Kennedy Miller Mitchell has categorically denied Monday’s scoop that Dr. George Miller is off the ‘Justice League’ project. They have confirmed that Miler did not appear on the ‘Sunrise Morning Show’ let alone discuss anything to do with “Justice League” or “Mad Max”.
On top of the news that Miller is still working on both projects the same representative told Dark Horizons “both League and Max are ‘being seriously worked on.'”
I guess, for now, the abandonment of the Justice League project will just have to continue to be fanboy wishful thinking for the time being. You can read my original report on the situation here.
