George Miller and his JLA crew told to get the hell out of Australia!

Batman, Superman, The Flash, The Green Lantern and Wonder Woman can't fight the men in suits. Business suits that is!

More problems for the Justice League, as if it really needed it. George Miller told the Sydney Morning Herald that there is a 90% chance that the $200 million film will indeed have to move overseas (probably to Canada, something we have covered quite extensively) after it was refused a 40% rebate on the massive Warner Bros. project.

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Australian film industry is being frittered away because of very lazy thinking," Miller said. "If that's going to be the final decision, they're throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars of investment that the rest of the world is competing for and, much more significantly, highly skilled creative jobs." "New Zealand built up their franchises through Hercules and Xena into Lord of the Rings," he said. "Now they're doing three Tintin films, two more Hobbit films and Halo. They've got work for 15 years in that country."
The director of the equity section of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, Simon Whipp argued his stance...
"For the public, both in Australia and outside of Australia, it will be seen as an American film," he said. "I have tremendous respect for George and his work, which has been some of the most successful films that we have ever produced. But the studio I think in this instance is seeking to push the limits of the envelope."
The report also uses the title Justice League Mortal but we still have no confirmation as to whether that will be the lame final title or not. Maybe it should be called Justice League Salvation: The Future Begins? source - coming soon
