Aborted JUSTICE LEAGUE Movie by MAD MAX Director Getting Documentary

 

Moviegoers will finally get to see DC's Justice League on the big screen in 2017, and fans may also get a glimpse into one of the greatest 'almosts' in comic book movie history - Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller's abandoned 2009 Justice League film.

 

InsideFilm reports that documentary director Ryan Unicomb has begun work chronicling the rise and fall of Miller's Justice League Mortal. Working with producers Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell, the unscheduled documentary currently goes by the title Miller's Justice League Mortal and will recount the pre-production and ultimate cancellation of the film after its principal cast had already reported to the set and began rehearsals.

A little more details about the original production.

 

A Touching Cast Photo From The Justice League Movie That Never Was Read More: A Cast Photo From The Justice League Movie That Never Was

 

Greg Van Borssum, a stuntman on the upcoming Mad Max reboot Fury Road, posted a photo to his Facebook page last month that offers a previously unseen glimpse of the cast and crew of the never-made 2008 Justice League movie.

 

Justice League: Mortal was meant to film in 2008 under George Miller, co-writer and director of the Mad Max franchise, including Fury Road. Justice League: Mortal never began filming, possibly because of the Writers Guild Strike of 2007-2008, but the photo reveals that Miller at least got as far as bringing his cast together.

Wow. :eek:

There can't be anything more horrible for an actor than that. To go through auditions, get hired, report to the set for rehearsals and WHAM. Canceled. And for a career-making blockbuster like Justice League too. Man oh man, I'd be in a fetal position for year. :cry:

You are not kidding. Look how excited Megan Gale was when she found out she was selected as Wonder Woman.
