Someday, someone is going to write a fascinating account of Warner Bros.' Sysyphean efforts to make a Justice League movie.
If the latest rumor is to be believed, then a chapter in that entirely-hypothetical The Devil's Candy-style tome could be devoted to Will Beall's Justice League script, which, according to the rumor, is being kicked to the curb entirely.
That we know virtually nothing about Justice League for sure beyond the writer and that Warner Bros. is hoping to have it in theaters during 2015 hasn't stopped a steady stream of rumors, all of which will remain rumors for the time being. Earlier this month, one such rumor concerned just which DC Comics characters would make up the titular superteam.
Now, a follow-up rumor specifies five familiar heroes who will form the Justice League, along with several other, less familiar characters who might just pop up in cameo appearances.
The Visual Effects Society, which consists of well over 2,000 professional magic makers and is also known as VES, has announced its full list of nominees for the 11th Annual VES Awards, acknowledging visual effects excellence in 24 categories across live-action and animated feature films, television series, video games, and commercials.
Having tagged along with Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, Joseph Gordon-Levitt might end up on a Marvel team in Guardians of the Galaxy, as he is apparently a contender to play the Peter Quill, the nominal lead of a team that also includes a talking, gun-wielding alien raccoon.
It's been a few weeks, so how about kicking off 2013 with another Justice League rumor that will go unsubstantiated from now until the 2015 release? This time, the rumor concerns just which DC Comics heroes will comprise the titular supersquad, as an alleged list runs through the seven lead heroes and even a couple of cameos.
Hey Rogues and Roguettes, how about a handpicked compilation of some of a favorite fried gold IAR stories from the year that was 2012?
My dear Rogues, we're neck-deep in the holiday season, and with December 25th fast approaching, it's past time to get serious about shopping. You don't want to end up desperately scavenging the shelves at your local Target after it has been ransacked for a month straight by consumers with better timing.
In order to help you avoid that dismal fate this year, IAR has compiled a handy holiday hodgepodge of gift ideas for movie fans of all types.
Justice League is still without a director, but Warner Bros. very much intends to have its own superhero team-up in theaters by 2015, the year that will also see The Avengers sequel reassembling Marvel's foremost supersquad in theaters. Director or not, we may just have an idea which DC comic book story will form the basis of the theatrical Justice League.
Ah, a little bit more gasoline is getting poured on the crackling fire that is the now incessant awards season discussion. That gasoline is the 2012 edition of the American Film Institute's top ten movies of the year, unveiled today alongside the list of top ten television series.
