Justice League Mortal

The above is the official title for the new Justice League movie. Unfortunately, the seemingly cursed production has hit a further snag. The film had hired an Australian director, George Miller, and was set to shoot in the country. The reasoning behind this was to obtain the 40% tax rebate the Australian Government grants to Antipodean productions, which would go some way to taking the bite out of the rumoured $200 million dollar budget. Apparently, given the 'American' nature of the film the Goverment have now decided that the rebate will not apply.

What effect this will have on the production is as yet unclear, but it looks like the film may now be seeking a new location, and possible director. Of course the majority of comic book fans feel the film is a bad idea to begin with, but it seems that Warner Brothers are intent on pressing ahead.
