Rumor: Warner Bros. has scrapped the ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ script, not enough dance scenes.
I want some dance scenes in my Justice League movie. You know, just Barry Allen and Hal Jordan looking deep into one another’s eyes. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne skulks in the corner, trying to simultaneously figure out how Jordan gets abs so taut, and also how to break all their bones with his martini glass. So I say “fuck you, and good riddance” to any script Warner Bros. cancels that doesn’t contain such dreams of mine.
Play List:
Bad Ass Digest reports that according to their sources, the studio has tossed Will Beall‘s script, for one simple reason: it’s terrible. Again, none of this is official, but if this is true, it makes the prospect of a 2015 release date much more unlikely, unless WB can grab a screenwriter to crank something out fast, lock up a director and start casting all over the next 11 or 12 months. Not impossible, but considering the care they’re taking, we’re not holding our breath.
Last we heard, WB was going to wait and see how “Man Of Steel” does before pushing forward on “Justice League” and that may have just been a bit of seed planting by the studio to buy some time. But there also seems to be a clash of vision. The Darkseid as villain rumor in Beall’s script seems to be true, but accord to BAD, “heroes (beyond the core five of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern) have been cut and added from the proceedings seemingly at studio executive will.” And it would be a fair guess that a weak script and creative uncertainty probably didn’t help in trying to lock down a director, with a handful rumored last year (The Wachowskis and Ben Affleck wishlisted or courted, among others). Nevertheless, all of these rumbling don’t bode well.
