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?

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

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.

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...

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

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".

*looks at nude pic*

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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...)

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.
