Now it is being reported that, after extensive auditions in both America and Australia (where the movie will be filmed), the complete cast is locked in and will be announced by Warners any day now (none of that one name at a time stuff like over at Paramount). Expect lots of unknowns to make up the cast (a means to keep costs down of what will likely be a heavy effects picture), although let's hope they look a little more like what we expect them to then those poor slobs pictured above, who look more like a bowling league then the Justice League.
In related news, Miller seems to have a full plate ... and is going back for seconds. In addition to JLA, he is working on sequels to two of his earlier hits, Mad Max (without Mel Gibson) and the Oscar-winning Happy Feet. Furthermore, DC's rival, Marvel Comics, is still thinking about their own "all-star" line-up, The Avengers, for the big screen. And finally, regarding another supergroup movie on the horizon, Watchmen has cast Matt "Max Headroom" Frewer as the supervillain whose murder sets the plot in motion.
