Is Justice League Really Cancelled?

According to CHUD, a quick conversation with Joel Silver revealed that Justice League: Mortal had been “tabled”. Of course, that’s a euphemism for “dead” or “mostly dead” or “will be released in 2011 with a new name”.

Last time…on The Continuing Saga of The Justice League Movie Updates

Our heroes Green Lantern, The Flash, and Geeky-Glasses-Wearing-Director-Man (played this week by George Miller) were at the bottom of a bottomless pit, surrounded by three hundred machine gun-wielding maniacs and without the precious Australian tax breaks they needed to climb out and save the day…

They’re all dead.

According to CHUD, a quick conversation with Joel Silver revealed that Justice League: Mortal had been “tabled”. Of course, that’s a euphemism for “dead” or “mostly dead” or “will be released in 2011 with a new name”. My question is – does Joel Silver really have the inside scoop on the film? I suppose I’m a little skeptical about the movie really being tabled.

We here at FSR have been pretty brutal about the film since the first cast list appeared, but I hope that the internet isn’t the reason for it’s tabling. More likely is the development troubles they’ve had so far. There’s only so much a production team can take before deciding to take a break and come back.

Which may be a great thing.

With some fresh perspective, some different names on the call sheet, and a little more work, this movie could be an exciting project. A really exciting one.
