FROM THE WATCHTOWER

After a considerable information drought, there have finally been some rumors posted about Justice League. Obsessedwithfilm.com reports, "The bulk of filming will take place at Fox Studios in Sydney and will involve extensive green screen work. As for crew members, Miller has added another Oscar winner to his team in the form of director of photography Dean Semler. Art direction comes from Hugh Bateup and Damien Drew, both veterans of The Matrix franchise and Superman Returns. P.J. Voeten, who has worked with Miller on Happy Feet and Babe will join the production as first assistant director when he finishes work on The Mummy 3 in Canada. Now for something that’s sure to get fanboys salivating - WETA will be designing the costumes for the Justice League heroes! They may even be handling visual effects as well, though that news isn’t confirmed yet. It’s worth noting that films on this scale will often take on several effects houses to manage the workload, so WETA are likely to be involved in some form."
   Robert Sanchez over at iesb.net adds, "After tons of our original news being confirmed from various outlets, including Variety, casting news has been impossible to lock down. A few weeks ago we reported that T.I. Harris had read for the role of the Green Lantern/John Stewart, but for the last few months we had heard that there were two actors that WB execs had always had in mind for the coveted role, but there was no confirmation if they had been approached. The two actors are Tyrese Gibson and Common. Patrick over at UGO was able to confirm that Gibson was in the mix and today we finally were able to confirm from studio sources that Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., aka Common, has read for the role and has been become a leading contender for the Green Lantern.
   "We contacted his representation over at William Morris and Polaris PR earlier in the day," he continued, "and have made multiple attempts to have them go on the record on his possible involvement. They have declined to comment at this time. So what about The Flash? It's been confirmed that Barry Allen would be the version of The Flash that we will we see in the Justice League film, but who would get to play him?  For years its been known that Ryan Reynolds had always been a top contender to play the Flash and even recently he has made remarks alluding that he might be involved some how in the film. But today we got word that WB was looking to get Adam Brody and Justin Long to read for the part. Let me be very clear about this, I dont know if they did read for the part and maybe this was just an exec talking out loud but regardless that gets me a bit worried. What is this cast going to look like?  Meanwhile online rumors are that WB is waiting to announce all the actors at once and that might be happening on November 18, 2007."

We knew it was going to be huge, but we also knew that if we let ourselves be daunted by it, then we would fail. So we always set ourselves tasks: we’ll just get through this and we’ll be okay.
