JLA live action film news
 
Over the last couple weeks casting has been going on for the upcoming live action JLA film. After TONS and TONS of rumours it seems they've finally cast SOMEBODY in this film.

And the first casting goes to Wonder Woman!

Say hello to Aussie supermodel/actress Megan Gale! She definatly looks the part! But can she act?

Spoiler:
There's even a nude pic of her
:o

No idea of the plot of the film but supposadly they'll be making a Flash movie after this.

More news:

Uknown actor Armand "Armie" Hammer (his parents must have hated him) has been cast as Batman. He's cute:

Hmm. Not sure if he really seems like Bruce Wayne to me. I guess Bale would be too busy with a possible third Batman film?

Wonder Woman I don't mind one way or another, because she's probably always been one of my least favorite DC characters. The only time I thought she was cool was when she snapped that one dude's neck. Other than that, I prefer Wonder Girl.

I've heard the JLU movies would not be the same continuity as the Begins and Returns movies

Mr._Mutant_Man 12-02-2007 10:12 PM

Well they don't have to necessarily reference Batman Begins or the prior Superman movies. The characters don't need an origin story in every movie, so it's possible to have a "loose" continuity, or one where nothing is contradicted anyway.

Bale isn't busy with a 3rd Batman film, he's busy with a 4th Terimnator film!

The one that McG is directing? Hmm...I dunno about that one.

Sarah Connor Chronicles looks cool though.

Ra 12-03-2007 04:31 AM

Hm, I'm not too sure about this. It was going to be a matter of time before this happened, but I'm still a bit uncertain. I'm happy with Gale taking up the role of Wonder Woman, though. I can really see that working. Hammer, however... :ohwell: We'll see. I have my doubts, but we'll see...

Raph's Girl 12-07-2007 08:32 PM

Moviehole.net has confirmed the casting of Iris Allen. Zoe Kazan has been cast in the role. Making the 3rd official casting for the film.

This does not mean much for Barry Allen fans since
Spoiler:
the film opens up with Barry Allen's funeral....


This is Zoe Kazan:

So the Batman one is official? I guess he could work out, as long as he keeps the mask on at all times. I guess there could be worse Batmen, but going by that photo he seems almost too "pretty".

I feel bad for that kid who has to compete with Christian Bale.

Heck Michael Keaton could very well be the ideal choice for Batman still if Bale is unavailable.

I will give this dude credit for having all the potential in the world to be better than say...Clooney. But that dude you saw cosplaying Batman at the comic con could be better than Clooney.

Raph's Girl 12-11-2007 10:30 AM

L.A times is reporting that Adam Brody is locked into playing The Flash (possably Wally West).

Raph's Girl 02-17-2008 02:05 PM

Well the JLA movie is back on. It now has a 2010 release date. However it looks like Batman and Superman are NOT in the film.

The film takes place after Superman's death by Doomsday and deals with the JLA trying to go on without him. Batman has been kicked out of the league.

Heard about this yesterday:ohwell:
I was'nt hyping the film or anything, but I was interested in seeing it, as I am most comic book movies. Strange news about the Batman and Superman not being in it. I guess it has something to do with the whole mix up it'll cause with brandon routh and Christian Bale not being in it. And also, how it's trying to follow the original story of those two not being founding members. Not a terrible way of thinking, although I'm sure it'll lose them a lot of money in the box office. At least they came up with two clever ways to exclude them. It fits into the DC universe.

Dr. Doom 02-17-2008 02:36 PM

I don't really care for that idea as it is right now, but I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt as far as this sort of thing goes, so assuming this is accurate, we'll just have to see what happens.

It'd be cool if Superman could show up again at the end. I mean, wouldn't the death of Superman have to be a pretty significant part of the story? You can't treat that as an afterthought and go "oh by the way Superman's dead here's everyone else". It's a pretty big story.

Although on the plus side, this means that one guy won't be playing Batman now.

GK Punk 02-19-2008 06:22 PM

That's kinda lame. I wonder if my brother's friends studio is still working on the movie at all. I should see if I could get some info out of him if so.

Raph's Girl 04-05-2008 01:33 AM

It has been apperantly announced that the official title for the film is "Justice League: Mortal"...I guess this is refering to Superman's death in the film?

The current cast is:

Adam Brody as Wally West / The Flash
D. J. Cotrona as Clark Kent / Superman
Common as John Stewart / Green Lantern.
Megan Gale as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman
Armie Hammer as Bruce Wayne / Batman
Teresa Palmer as Talia Al Ghul
Zoe Kazan as Iris Allen

Squee!!! Talia!! :D I wonder if they'll cast anybody as Ra's or Damien (he'll probably be born in the film....maybe...)

GK Punk 04-05-2008 01:36 AM

Seriously? This is legit? Not that I'm calling you a liar, I'm just so jaded on this movie now I don't know what to think anymore.

Yes it's legit. This is AICN's article today on it (and apperantly Happy Feet 2..er...)

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36279

The title was announced March 19th in the Sydney Harald according to wikipedia.

GK Punk 04-05-2008 02:08 AM

Just when I stopped caring about this movie, they pulled me back in.

Spike Spiegel 04-05-2008 03:23 PM

The only problem I see with not having Batman or Superman is that then this movie might only seem cool to its comic book fan audience. The average Joe would probably be turned off by that.

I think it's cool to have a live action DC movie with more emphasis on other characters(finally).

Which is why Im excited for the Green Arrow movie....Im eager to find out just what B/C list villians he's gonna run into in prison.

Spike Spiegel 04-07-2008 04:05 PM

I had no idea they were making a Green Arrow film...:o:o:o

You didn't??? I've posted info on it several times. It's called Super Max. Basically Oliver Queen is revealed as Green Arrow and is imprisoned for a crime he didn't comit. He's put in a prison full of B and C list villians and rogue superheroes and of course tries to escape.

Spike Spiegel 04-10-2008 05:46 PM

Hope they can do something memorable with that plot....

But why on on earth is it called "Super Max"?

Justice League has been "tabled".

This doesn't necessarily mean that the project is forever cancelled, but it does mean that the movie in the form that we've known it as, with that cast and that director and script, is almost certainly not going to happen. Silver makes a point in that article of pointing out that it took Speed Racer 20 years to get made (at various points to star Johnny Depp, Vince Vaughn as Racer X, etc). The League's hurdles apparently won't impact Wonder Woman, which I'm suspecting may actually get a faster track now as a JLA substitute on Warner Bros' slate. Ultimately, I think this is good news, as this particular Justice League project always sounded like something of a "minor league" project, with unknowns or near unknowns in the cast, and not being based on one of the League's many classic stories. So far, I like Marvel's approach to their own super team, The Avengers, introducing each member in a movie, until there's enough heroes to join together in one big movie. DC could have done something like that if they had signed Christian Bale and Brandon Routh to reprise their roles, but that wasn't the route they took. Some day, after there are movies for The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, I think Warner Bros would be in a much better position to make a Justice League movie. The time just doesn't seem right, and with all the budget and location problems they've had, it looks like they've realized that fact at last.

Oh, well.

Spike Spiegel 04-22-2008 03:23 PM

That's what I hate about these sorts of films. They take forever in this way.

I just want to see the Flash and WW on the silver screen, whether it be solo movies or otherwise...*drools*:P:P:P

GOOD. That movie was looking pretty awful. I wanna see Wally on the big screen just as much as you do, Marty, but not in this context. I'll wait for Ryan Reynolds, thank you.
