Justice League

March 2, 2008: Could an Actors Strike Defeat the JLA Movie?

The New York Times weighs in with an article on the "Justice League of America" movie, speculating on whether a looming Actor's Strike could once again delay the film's production...

    "Justice League," if it happens, will give Warner a summer blockbuster either next year or the year after. It could spawn sequels, like the Marvel-based "X-Men" series, which has taken in $1.2 billion at the global box office for 20th Century Fox. Just as important, the film could extend the appeal of Warner Brothers' two caped mainstays, Superman and Batman, to lesser-known heroes (and inexpensive actors) who might then be featured in blockbusters of their own.

    But Warner Brothers' dreams of a widening stream of profits will come true only if the new film does nothing to detract from a continuing string of Batman movies, the next of which is "The Dark Knight," set for release in July, or the Superman pictures, another of which is in the works for 2010.
