Ok, no doubt I'm Kamphausening this, but just in case... at the very least, the team that wrote the suckfest Superman Returns won't be returning... http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=134016On Monday, we brought you word of Mark Millar's grass roots appeal to land the job of writing the sequel to Superman Returns, given that the original film's screenwriters, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris won't be returning for the second go-round of the DC Comics hero. Millar, an avowed Superman fan, wanted the job so badly, he said he was even willing to work for free. It was a wild 48 hours or so for the writer, but in the end, as Millar posted it's not meant to be. Millar wrote: "Okay, as you know I was very excited about the opportunity that WB were looking for a new writer on this project. Superman is the be all and end all for me (he's why I started reading and why I started typing). It's funny how quickly news spread because one little post on my message board here ended up literally all over the comic book and movie sites inside about twelve hours and the response from fellow Superman fans was incredibly positive. Thanks again for that. "Anyway, my agent is a big beast at CAA and can set up meetings with anyone. I'm always amazed by this because, like all comic guys, I do this job in a converted attic at home on a rainy rock some miles from mainland Europe and about as far from Hollywood as you can get. But my agent got my call around 4pm my time on Tuesday and within hours we were talking on the phone to some very nice exec at Warner Bros who said that several producers and director friends had already been in touch to push me for the gig because they knew how passionate I was about this project. And for about fifteen minutes things were looking very sweet. I had a massive three-picture epic in mind, cribbed from notes I've been putting together for the last five years for a Superman comic-book revamp and the people I spoke to absolutely loved it. Everyone said this was very, very exciting, but... "Well, sadly, I'm a Marvel guy and we were surprised to find out that WB couldn't hire me for a DC property. They were incredibly nice and superbly apologetic about it, but when they discussed the matter seriously DC explained just how associated I am with Marvel Comics at the moment and it's against company policy to hire the competition. It's absolutely nothing personal. I spoke to some friends at DC and they explained this has happened with a couple of big Marvel writers in the last couple of years and I absolutely respect that. It's a business after all and to have a guy writing Fantastic Four, 1985, Kick-Ass and another super-big project for Steve McNiven this year which would be mentioned in every article about a Superman movie is not only an insult to their own writers, but makes bad business sense. I have nothing but respect for the DC high-ups and, though obviously disappointed, can absolutely appreciate their position. They're the custodians of these properties and they obviously know what they're doing. "So no Millar-penned Superman movie at this stage, I'm afraid. That situation may change, of course. As a Warner chum said to me last night, the last Superman movie had a number of starts and stops and who knows what will happen over the next couple of years, especially after my Marvel contract expires. In the meantime, I'm keeping my 200 pages of notes and sketches on a slow boil, just in case. As for the next movie, I wish whoever does land this gig nothing but the best of luck. I wanted to bring my vision to the screen out of nothing but pure love and hope to be as thrilled as everyone else. They're talking to a couple of guys with a better screen-writing track record and, like the rest of you, I'll keep my fingers crossed that this sequel to Bryan's first picture all works out great. "Thanks again for all the support and backing for my involvement in this project. It stunned me that the WB people had seen this and it absolutely factored in how quickly all those doors opened for me. "Cheers! "MM" Newsarama Note: Though it's not exactly the same...as a point of context, though he was in initial negotiations to direct X-Men 3 (something which was not part of his intial X-Men deal with Fox), Superman director Brian Singer left the Marvel X-Men film franchise to direct Superman Returns. The move allegedly resulted in much bad blood between Fox and Warner Bros, and reportedly caused Fox to terminate their production deal with Bad Hat Harry Productions, Singer's production company

Which just goes to show the utter stupidity of these "exclusive" comics contracts that have been bragging rights for both houses in recent years. Hopefully this experience will make these writers think twice about inadvertently shooting the goose that lays the golden eggs just so DC or MARVEL can brag about how they have exclusive use of a hot writer.

actually, the "exclusive" thing is not necessarily true as it was announced earlier today that Marc Guggenheim, another Marvel exclusive writer, is attached to the Green Lantern screenplay.
I think DC may just have something against Millar (Levitz/Authority, etc.).

DC Comics’ Flash has apparently gotten some love in regards to making the leap to the big screen, and now, according to Variety, the Flash’s pal, Green Lantern is making the move as well, with Greg (Dirty Sexy Money, Brothers & Sisters) Berlanti named by the trade as the director for the film.
Berlanti will write the script for the film with Marc (Wolverine, Amazing Spider-Man under exclusive contract to Marvel, Brothers & Sisters) Guggenheim and Michael (Heroes) Green. Donald De Line will produce, with Andrew Haas named as executive producer.
For the director, this will be his second film – he directed The Broken Hearts Club in 2000.
As with many DC Comics characters, Green Lantern has had a long slog to get to this point – many attempts on the character have been rumored to be in the works over the past years, including a more comedic take with actor Jack Black in the title role.
No word was given as to which Green Lantern will be featured in the film, but, given the recent revamp and return of Hal Jordan to the role, the test pilot introduced in 1959’s Showcase #22 would be the best bet, beating out Alan Scott, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner.
Berlanti told The Hollywood Reporter: "To me, this was on the last great comic book movie that hasn’t been made. It was a comic book with a real mythology that you would see in a lot of the space operas and the sci-fi books. The best part about it, anybody can be become one of the Green Lanterns because anyone can end up with that ring.”
And the Reporter confirms that the film will be about Jordan, adding that the director originally pitched a series of GL movies to Warner Bros., the first being the origin story, showing how Jordan became a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Hal? Pity. The only time I found GL interesting was when Kyle was wearing the ring.

Kyle never did anything for me except when Morrie wrote him in JLA. most of his early stories seemed to follow a formula: someone tricks him into taking off his ring, fails to get ring to work, gives ring back, etc. or were rehashing the same battle with Jordan/Parallax etc.
although I did like the relationship that was built between him and Alan Scott, and having Jade brought into a GL role (though it was brief).

I dunno - the only time I read GL was when he had the ring. I alwasy thought that Hal's was boring as fuck, except when he went crazy right before Kyle's reign. Kyle took over and I enjoyed watching him grow from scared and awkward to pretty secure as the GL. The only part of his run I dislike was the Alex-in-the-refridge moment - though it did inspire Gail Simone's great commentary about comics and their "women in refridgerators" problem...

yeah, the whole "gf murdered/stuff in the fridge" just seemed like a real comic cliche and was an early turn off to the series.
Hal doesn't have a lot of great stories, but New Frontier is one of the few.

Hal? Pity. The only time I found GL interesting was when Kyle was wearing the ring. I'd like to see a Green Lantern movie, but only if it was about John Stewart. Casting would be a bitch, though.. Samuel Jackson would be perfect except for the part where he is too old... I can see him now: " Fuckyou, cocksucker, you put the motherfuckin' gun down now, or I'll incinerate your stupid ass because I'm the motherfuckin' Green Lantern!"

I just saw on IMDB that Dwayne Johnson is "in talks" to play Black Adam in a Shazam movie. Was this announced earlier anywhere?

yup. it was originally said that he was going for Capt. Marvel and we all pretty much decided he'd be a better Black Adam.

Eh, the most interesting part of Black Adam, to me, was always the whole tragic bit (did Johns introduce that?). I doubt that's within The Rock's range.

From the Superman Homepage. - MTV.com questioned both James Marsden and Frank Langella on whether or not the up-coming Justice League movie would have any affect on the future of the Superman franchise.
James Marsden:
"I know nothing. I saw one article about 'Justice League' being made, and I thought well, how's that going to affect the future of [Superman]?" James Marsden, who played Richard White in Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" confessed to MTV News. "So I have no idea. I really don't."
Frank Langella:
"I have no doubt it will happen again. I just don't think it will happen soon," Frank Langella said. "I thought the first one was a beautiful film. I thought the concept was staggering. It got criticized for not being the kind of Superman everybody expects but Jesus!" Langella continued. "[But that said] I had dinner with Bryan a couple months ago and he said he wants to do the next one shorter, tighter, and with a lot more action in it."
Embarrassingly MTV call Kryptonite "Krytonite" both in the article's title and in the web address for the page, while also incorrectly stating that Perry White was Richard White's father (and not uncle) in "Superman Returns".
In "Justice League" movie talk, IESB.net claim that the movie won't be affected by the ongoing WGA strike as predicted by Variety, with WB sources telling them to expect an announcement on the cast to be released later this week.

CCI: You worked in animation for a number of years including at Warner Bros. Animation. What's it like going full circle and coming back to work on New Frontier?
Darwyn: It was pretty weird, in a good way. It's been probably seven years since I worked with the guys at Warners' and I still have a lot of friends there. My time there was great and I got to know so many of the guys who ended up working on The New Frontier, so it was like old home week. It was a lot of fun.
CCI: New Frontier is an epic work. How much of it will we see translated to the movie version and how difficult was it to let some of the story go?
Darwyn: It's like a lot of things: it feels a lot worse than it is at first. We were all pretty daunted by trying to compress this material down to a 70-minute video. But Stan Berkowitz did a great job of objectively going through the story and finding out what needed to stay and what could go. The screenplay he pulled together did a very good job of that, so it was just a matter of us playing with it a bit more. It was really kind of difficult and hard to let go, but in the end we were all pretty amazed at how much of the story actually made it into the video and how much does feel like the book.
CCI: New Frontier is very much of a particular era, the late 1940s through the 50s. Is that maintained in the movie?
Darwyn: We certainly did our best and there were some hilarious moments when the prop designers were designing things like pink telephones from 1959. So yeah, we had notes for them (laughs) but all in all the entire crew really embraced the challenge of trying to put that together. And our partners overseas will let us know if we've succeeded or not, but what we tried to do with it is not to use any techniques that will make it clear that this was made after 1955. We want it to feel like it was made with the resources and technology available at the time. Granted we are using digital to support what we're doing everywhere we can, but we want it to look traditional.
So in everything from the color palette on down, I think we've done pretty good in scoring it. I did design most of the characters so I was able to control the wardrobe and things like that. I think we got it. I mean, until you see the footage you just don't know.
CCI: New Frontier included a lot of history and social issues. Will we see that transferred to the movie?
Darwyn: Again, we were in a tough spot because we had to cut so much material. But its incredible how much we've managed to maintain. It's in short bursts, but we're using devices like Batman looking through an old style microfilm catalogue, so we get these slides that roll by with Rosa Parks, or the Russians, and all this kind of material that we've used as much as we can for backstory. And I really think it all comes through pretty clearly.
CCI: The new DVD films are not beholden to the continuity that's on, say, the Justice League TV series.
Darwyn: If they had been adapting this in the "Adventures" style that would have been great. But the fact that this was going to get to stand alone is what made it really exciting, and that they wanted it to look like the book is like, "Wow, what a great opportunity."
followed by one with Paul Levitz. CCI: DC has had a long history of turning their characters into animated properties. There's been a consistent animated presence on TV since the early 90s. Now you've entered the arena of direct to DVD movies. What does this kind of format offer for you, storytelling wise, and why now?
Paul: I'd argue our animation history really goes back unbroken to the mid 60s when you had the New Superman and Aquaman stuff air. Because there really hasn't been more than a year, maybe a two-year gap at any point, when we didn't have new animation on the air. iI's a pretty amazing run, so we've got a long history of loving it.
I think what's different now, with direct to video, is you walk away from the "this is for little kids only" label. We have a lot of history in animation going back at least to Batman The Animated Series in the early 90s of shows that attracted significant adult audiences and got great receptions from them because they simultaneously worked for kids and for adults. But the direct to video form for the first time really allows you to do that consciously rather than just the creative people kind of sneaking it through.
The other thing that changes in the process (is) because you're not advertising supported but you're entirely customer supported, you get a real orientation of what it is people most want to watch. How do you identify that, how do you track that back, and how do you deliver to them? And with out audience, that leads us logically to the conclusion that what they would like to watch are our classic stories, our important stories, done in ways that are faithful to the comics material themselves.
CCI: Part of the allure of the series of new films is its basis in classic DC stories yet, Superman Doomsday, the first film was very different than it's comic book source material. Are these stories just jumping-off points for the movies or will we see more faithful adaptations in the future?
Paul: I think it will very much vary project by project. Doomsday was kind of a bridge project. It had been started in development before we came to all of the conclusions from a marketing standpoint that we're now operating with. But it seems to have met a great reception in its first couple of weeks in the marketplace as well as the reception it had sort of face to face when we premiered it in San Diego. First of all, I think you have to look at the story itself. "The Death Of Superman" story is so lengthy, so complex in its twists and turns because of how it was originally told (with) literally hundreds and hundreds of pages of comics material. There were a lot of barriers in doing that as a faithful literal adaptation, no matter what you did.
So I think it was a very intelligent decision to do something, I think your phrase was "used it as a jumping-off point" I think that's a very fair description for it. We started from the source material and said, "Okay, how would we tell this story for this medium?"
New Frontier is a case where the body of the material is more structured to be a single story. It wasn't about doing periodical comics with a kind of "Perils of Pauline" moment intrinsic to it the way "Death of Superman" had been. So it was a little easier to look at that and see how true to the thing we can get this to be. We still have to make a lot of changes to make it suitable for the medium. it wasn't written to be an hour-long animation, it was written to be a 200-page comic, but I think it's a lot closer to the source.
CCI: Superman Doomsday was an epic story told by people in its original comics presentation. New Frontier is also an epic story but it's the vision of one creator Darwyn Cooke paying tribute to the comics he loved as a kid. How true to his story is the final film?
Paul: I think everyone will have a slightly different opinion of that. For Darwyn, that's an enormously emotional question because there are little moments that mattered a tremendous amount to him that either got picked up or didn't as the structure changed. For those of us who loved the original and have had a chance to see this, I think we feel it is very, very true to the spirit and the magic of the original, and the visual style has a tremendous relationship to Darwyn's style of drawing the comic.
Nonetheless it's a different thing. It has to be somewhat different thing for it to succeed on its own terms.
CCI: It was announced that Darwyn is currently working on a comics sequel to New Frontier. Will this come out around the same time as the DVD movie?
Paul: I don't know about the timing. I'm not really in the loop for that but I know he and Dan Didio have started conversations about a next project in the New Frontier timeline.
CCI: Comic-Con hosted the world premier of Superman Doomsday in July. WonderCon will do the same for Justice League in February. How important are these convention screenings for you?
Paul: I think it's a great moment. When I went out there at Comic-Con to introduce Superman Doomsday and you had, I think, over 4,000 people in Ballroom 20, that's an enormously infectious moment. If you've got something that works, that's a tremendous group of people to get caught up in the fire of it and get the word out.
One of the challenges you have with direct to video as a medium is that its sold through a wide variety of retailers who are not deeply focused on this as a product. It's not like taking a movie DVD of a 200-million-dollar hit film and rolling it through the retailer. It's a brand new product each time by definition. And you really want to create a motivated group of people to go out and buy it the first couple of weeks to create the retail momentum to demonstrate success in order to get the right placement for the line on a continuing basis and to keep the thing rolling. And for that you obviously do a number of different things, including the Comic-Con or WonderCon events, but that certainly seems to have worked with Superman Doomsday and I think the convention (premiere) was a meaningful part of that.

New Justice League Cast Members?- Keep in mind that Warner Bros. has yet to reveal any cast members, but this is a list of names Superhero Hype! received over the weekend as to who might be cast in Justice League. Yes, we realize the much rumored Adam Brody is not listed here as The Flash. Our answer? We just don't know what's up, plain and simple:
- Superman - D.J. Cotrona
- Batman - Armie Hammer
- Wally West/The Flash - Anton Yelchin
- Aquaman - Santiago Cabrera
- Iris - Zoe Kazan
- Wonder Woman - Megan Gale
- Talia al Ghul - Teresa Palmer
- Green Lantern - Common
- We must repeat, the above names are not confirmed. They might not be confirmed for a while, because a new article talking about the writers strike at The Hollywood Reporter says that Justice League might not be as sure of a thing as it seems:
At Warner Bros., "Justice League of America" finds itself without a shooting script and has options expiring on potential actors who recently were screen tested. As a result, it might have to postpone production.
Geez, if even half the names on this list are true, this thing is going to make the old JLA TV pilot with Charles Winchester from "MASH" as J'Onn look like fucking "Batman Begins."

All the more reason why I think this, and a Superman Returns sequel, won't happen.

Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new original movie Justice League: The New Frontier on February 26, 2008 on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, distributed by Warner Home Video. Order due date is January 22, 2008. The original movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-per-View as well as available for download on February 26, 2008.
Based on the graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by Michael Goguen and animation legend, Bruce Timm, Justice League: The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. The animated film, written by Stan Berkowitz, features an incredible celebrity-laden voice cast including David Boreanaz, Brooke Shields, Lucy Lawless, Neil Patrick Harris, Miguel Ferrer, Kyra Sedgwick, Jeremy Sisto and Kyle MacLachlan and will be available on DVD for $19.98 SRP. There will also be a 2 disc Special Edition DVD available for $24.98 SRP which contains additional bonus features including a documentary about the pathology of the super villain and three bonus episodes from the Justice League animated series selected by Bruce Timm. All the content from the 2-disc Special Edition DVD will be available on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
The New Frontier takes viewers on an action-packed adventure, exploring the origins of the Justice League. DC Comics legends Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all featured in the film as well as Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and The Flash ¬ as they band together to form the legendary super team. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman cannot stop it alone. If they fail, the entire planet will be “cleansed” of humanity.
Justice League: The New Frontier DVD will feature incredible extras including:
“Super Heroes United!: The Complete Justice League History”- The documentary is a comprehensive forty seven year Justice League chronology from the inception in the comics to vivid animated renditions. The story is told with a myriad of interviews tracing back the early days of DC Super Hero team ups during the Golden Age, to the Silver Age rendition where the established heroes emerged and beyond. Interviews include Paul Levitz (President of DC Comics), Dan Didio (SVP Executive Editor at DC Comics), Michael Uslan (Historian), Gregory Noveck (SVP Creative Affairs DC Comics), Mark Waid (DC Comics Historian and Writer), Mike Friedrich (Writer JLU), Denny O’Neil (Writer and Editor at DC Comics), Mike Carlin (DC Comics Executive Editor), Stan Lee (Marvel Comics Co-Creator) and Marv Wolfman (Writer of Fantastic Four).
“Sneak Peak: Batman: Gotham Knight” - One part anime, one part Caped Crusader, the result is a glimpse at the world of Eastern anime sensibilities combined with a Western tradition of Batman. A detailed look at the world of Warner Bros Animation, and how they joined forces with the renowned Japanese animators to create the highly anticipated anime film of 2008.
“Audio Commentary I” (featuring the talented filmmakers of New Frontier)
“Audio Commentary II” (featuring Comic Book Writer and Artist Darwyn Cooke)
• Widescreen (1.78:1)
• 5.1 Dolby Digital
The 2 disc Special Edition DVD will feature even more incredible extras
including:
“The Legion of Doom: The Pathology of the Super Villain”- This documentary will examine the early mythological archetypes of nemesis characters from a historical perspective, and see how the tenants of this rich history were adapted and woven into the Justice League stories. The bonus feature includes many of the talent included in Super Heroes United! As well as Jim Kreuger (Writer of “Justice”).
“Comic Book Commentary: Homage to the New Frontier” - This documentary is a nod to the fans of the New Frontier comic book. This featurette further expands the themes contained in the source material, and how these elements were truncated or evolved for the inclusion in the film. Featuring vivid imagery culled from the pages of the New Frontier comic, mixed with the commentary of Writer and Artist Darwyn Cooke, this featurette is a treat for both fans and scholars of the medium.
“Justice League Unlimited Bonus Episodes” - Bruce Timm selects three of his favorite episodes from the Justice League Unlimited animated series:
1. Dark Heart ¬ Alien invaders attempt to thwart the Justice League. The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of Ray Palmer, AKA The Atom.
2. To Another Shore - Wonder Woman learns of a plot to steal the powers of the 3,000 year-old corpse of The Viking Prince. It is up to the Justice League to make things right.
3. Task Force X - Four incarcerated villains are released from prison by Cadmus to undertake an impossible mission: steal a powerful mystic artifact from the JLU Watchtower under the noses of the League.
"Having the opportunity to take the unique work of such a legendary comic talent as Darwyn Cooke and create a small screen faithful adaptation of that style is one of the cornerstones in what we hope to develop for core and new fans alike as part of the DC Universe initiative on the Warner Premiere slate", said Matt Bierman, Vice President Production, Warner Premiere.
“Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier is justifiably considered a modern classic, and we at DC comics are excited to share this thrilling adaptation with the book's legions of loyal fans. On Feb. 26, DC Universe Animated Movies will lead everyone across the New Frontier,” said Gregory Novek, Senior Vice President of Creative Affairs, DC Comics.
“Following the huge success of Superman Doomsday, we are delighted to be releasing the second DC Universe PG-13 animated movie,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President, Family, Animation and Sports Marketing. “Justice League: The New Frontier will certainly not disappoint fans who have been eagerly awaiting this next action-packed DC Universe installment.”
Justice League: New Frontier Marketing Support
Justice League: New Frontier will be supported by a massive media campaign including primetime TV spots, national print and online coverage. Marketing support will also include strong promotion support, a dedicated website (www.jlnewfrontier.com ), as well as explosive online promotion stunts. Finally, cross-trailering on targeted DVD releases will generate millions of impressions.
