"Justice League" film officially put on hold
POSTED 01/17/2008 AT 9:47 AM ET

As expected, The Hollywood Reporter reports that Warner Bros. has officially put director George Miller's "Justice League" on indefinite hold. The live-action adaptation of the DC comic series - which would have featured the likes of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash - was seen as a big budget tentpole for the studio but script problems and the writers' strike have subsequently caused the studio to wait it out.

The script was written by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney and while it was believed that the script was good, later drafts were reportedly plagued with pacing issues and took the project in directions the studio wasn't happy with.

The trade also revealed that actors D.J. Cotrona, Adam Brody, Armie Hammier, Anton Yelchin, Common, Teresa Palmer and Megan Gale had been cast in the lead roles, though who played what is unknown at this point, although it was rumored that Brody got the role of the Flash, Common got the role of Green Lantern, Hammier got the role of Batman, and Megan Gale had been cast as Wonder Woman.
