Oh man, this is excellent news!! I feared the worst for this movie (besides from the crappy cast), and I really didn't want to give anyones hopes up so I didn't feel the need to post any of this info. Now with recent news telling us that the WGA (Writers Guild of America ) has finally signed an agreement that will put writers immediately back to work on the Marvel Studios development slate.
This means that the Justice League movie is now on track to being filmed! It was put on hold, ON SET, as the actors were ready to start filming. Imagine how close they were! Since the writers strike is finally being put to rest, alot of other companies have been talking to get their movies out the door. Some are being rushed, and I imagine the Justice League film is no different.
But how will this save the movie? Recent reports have been showing a very weak cast, and an even worse script. The movie is being delayed for a new script though, so here's hoping. In case you have forgotten, here is a round-up of the cast.
Superman - D.J. Cotrona
Batman - Armie Hammer
Wally West/The Flash - Anton Yelchin
Aquaman - Santiago Cabrera
Iris - Zoe Kazan
Wonder Woman - Megan Gale
Talia al Ghul - Teresa Palmer
Green Lantern - Common
Now for Marvel news : This year will be a big year for Marvel, mostly because the movies that they'll be cranking out this year won't suck, unlike Ghost Rider and Daredevil. This is due to Marvel Studios recently launching its independent live-action film studio to develop, produce, and fully finance Marvel movies. Yay!
Quote from the article : "We're very excited about our summer releases, 'Iron Man' and 'The Incredible Hulk,' and look forward to resuming work with writers on our future projects including 'Captain America,' 'Thor,' 'Ant-Man,' and 'The Avengers,' said Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel."
More good news is that the writers strike looks to be ending very soon! Quote from the article : "The WGA recently entered into interim agreements with The Weinstein Company, United Artists, Lionsgate, Worldwide Pants, Spyglass Entertainment, MRC, Jackson Bites, Mandate Films, and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment."
Hurrah for democracy!

The JLA movie is going to suck ass. Fact.

Unless you want 3 News in Film blogs in a row! Also, I agree, I really wanted Hal Jordan instead for the Green Lantern. Jon Stewart is a bad ass being a marine and all, but the original Lantern is white gawd daym eet.

I am excited to see up there that there is going to be a "Captain America" and "The Avengers" movies in the works. Sweet deal.

I'm looking forward to the ant-man movie, if what my brother says about it being directed by the creators of shawn of the dead is true.
PS
Ant-man is made of so much fail.

About green lantern - HAL FUCKING JORDAN peoples!
@ inchworm - I feel ya bro but the odds of a seperate green lantern movie will be predicated on the success of JLA.

I'm glad they decided to keep working on the Justice League script rather than going ahead with a crappy one. I DID like about half of the cast though. I just wish they had skewed it a bit older.

oh shit wrong battle

They have Scott Porter as Superman, not Cotrona.
Honestly, don't care for this movie at all since it has low-budget, b-movie actor written all over it. I wouldn't mind seeing these people in a good B-movie comic movie, like Toxic Avenger, but not in Justice League.

I hadn't heard about a new movie though, so I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!
(Preacher has alot of good artist/writers going for it)

common does not and i repeat does not have any of the things needed to play jon stewart other then the physical attributes, he cannot hold the character and does not have the (ihate using this word) chops to play this character like he needs to be played.
i love common, ive loved him since way the fuck back when everyone called his ass a toy in the hip hop world and i still love him but his skills on the mic do not translate into him being a bankable jon stewart
and speaking of JL this movie is going to suck so fucking bad and all the actors they have for it are aweful and should die in a fire.
some of the people they have signed on for the new marvel stuff kinda bothers me cause of some of hte movies they have made in the past being so shitty.
i cant remember who did what with who right off but i remember reading about the writers and directors some time ago and thinking jesus fucking christ did they learn nothing from the original FF movie made back in the early 90's?!?!?!?!
