Justice League Begins Casting!
Check out our JUSTICE LEAGUE news page for the very latest updates.
At last, AT LAST, some concrete news on the Justice League (hands up who was sick of the constant rumours). Warner Bros have hired casting directors Susan Shopmaker (The Holiday, Mean Girls), Michelle Allen (TV’s sadly cancelled Dead Like Me) and RDC Casting (The Shipping News) in New York, Vancouver and Toronto, respecitively, to cast the Justice League movie.
Confirmation comes via industry audition site Showfax who have multiple roles up for grabs. None of them specify which parts they are, they’re mainly tagged as “Male/Female Option #1, #2″ etc (which I guess means they are small roles or there to hide the names of the characters from online snoopers).
Anyone with a subscription to that site can download those sides and read portions of the film’s script. Of course, we at OWF would not object at all if anyone wanted to get those sides and email them to us!
This is purely speculation, but with calls going out to three cities already (with more to come, I’m sure), this probably means that George Miller is looking to find several unknowns or up and coming actors for the film. If sides for the part of Superman aren’t going out then the Tom Welling rumours could well be true.
The locations of these auditions are also interesting; initially they are taking place in two Canadian cities but in only one in the US. Could this suggest Warners are looking to shoot the movie up in Canada?

[...] ObsessedwithFilm is reporting that casting has begun on the Justice League of America movie in New York, Vancourver and Toronto. Warner Bros have hired casting directors Susan Shopmaker (The Holiday, Mean Girls), Michelle Allen (Dead Like Me) and RDC Casting (The Shipping News), and sides have been posted for multiple roles on an industry audition site Showfax. However, the roles are all listed under vague codenames like “Male Option #1″, and the actual sides available to subscribers are actually scenes taken from Sidney Lumet’s Networ, Rob Reiner’s Few Good Men, and Gus Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting. You can see some of the sides here, here and here. Thanks to green of the SHH forums and moviehole for the info. [...]

“how does somebody go aboutattending these casting calls?”
I’m (couch) casting for Wonder Woman all week. Since your name is Ben I don’t think you’re quite right for the part.
Seriously, I have no idea. You probably need an agent, I doubt they’re open calls.

Comment by rick | September 4, 2007
The sides are not actually from the Justice League script. They are five different sides from different movies like A Few Good Men, Swingers etc. They are more interested in seeing how you can switch between comedic and dramatic. As well, they have asked that we come up with a sad and comedic story from our own experiences. They’re more interested in the actor’s personality and whether they will mesh with an ensemble cast. As well, they are looking for people with solid improv, theatre and comedic skills.
wish me luck.

Maybe Josh Hartnett or Matthew Bomer will both play The Dark Knight & The Man of Steel meeting each other in Gotham City. Josh can play Batman as a character similar to Christian Bale’s. Matthew was screen tested to play Superman before Brandon Routh got selected to play The Man of Steel in the 5th Superman sequel “Superman Returns”. Casted by Brett Ratner.
Maybe, if Brett Ratner can direct The Justice League movie. What do everyone think ?

I think that Melina from WWE should be cast as WonderWoman… thanks.
Comment by Dr. Evil | September 30, 2007
will smith should be green lantern, and catherine zeta jones wonder woman, and chris evens the flash
Comment by - | October 12, 2007
I think Katherine McPhee would make a good Wonder Woman. She has the captive beauty that WW exudes. She also has the wholesome factor about her. If she does get the part, I feel Jaclyn Smith should play her mother. The 2 of them look nearly identical outside of their ages of course. If this movie is going to go for the “unlimited” version look, I think Triple H, of the WWE, is perfect for Aquaman.
Comment by Alan | October 21, 2007
I think angelina Jolie looks exactly like JLA’S Wonderwoman..So she def should play her or Jessica Beil..
If batman and Superman Aren’t in the movie it’s going to flop..I kinda already have a bad feeling about the movie but my hopes are high
Comment by alexDb | October 28, 2007
I think Wesley Snipes would be a better Green Lantern. Just based on John Stewart’s personality.
Comment by Chris | November 1, 2007
I’m also interested in auditioning for the movie. Please give any info on casting calls that you may have.
Comment by victor | November 3, 2007
Judging by the auditions are held in Vancouver, this could be a strong indication that Mr Welling could be up for the role, since this is were they film a lot of Smallville, not to mention the lad deserves to take the role of Clark into the Adult years after his efforts as the young Clark Kent !!!! This movie would slide nicely off the back of Smallville.

Comment by Rich | November 7, 2007
I read somewhere that catherine zeta-jones is perfect for wonderwoman, and I completely agree with that person. As for superman, I don’t think they should cast Brandon Routh bec. he’s not exactly “leader material.” They should go look for 35+ year old actors, as maturity is an important factor. I hope they don’t mess this up, I love JL very much :) (also, WHERE IS HAWKGIRL? I’d love to watch her and John together). Still sad that JL Unlimited has ended…
Comment by juliebee | November 9, 2007
Jessica Biel ,IMHO, would be perfect for Wonder Woman. Body and attitude - there is no better choice. As for the others - I totally agree w/ the the poster who said maturity is of utmost importance, here…I hope we don’t have to see yet another version of the WB Not-Ready_For-Prime-Time superhero kiddies…I couldn’t bear it.
Comment by jc | November 26, 2007
Jessica Biel and Angelina Jolie are both good choices for Wonder Woman. But I was watching a re-run of Star Trek Voyager, and the one I pick to be the Amazon Princess is Gerry Ryan (Seven of Nine) if she can look that fantastic in that outfit just imagine how she would be able to fill in Wonder Womans Costume.

My name is Bruce Jackson and I think I would fit the role of The Green Lantern. To check

Comment by Kat john | February 15, 2008
you guys are dorks
Comment by jason | February 20, 2008
Wot a shame.
I’ll probably go and see it anyway because of my love for the characters but i have a feeling that is how they will get everyone in the seats.
Im expecting to come out of the cinema feeling cheated.
Extend the Superman and Batman stories so they are established. Start Green Lantern and Flash stories etc so everyone will know what everyone it is about. Marvel Style!! Then bring the thunder of the Justice League even if it does mean casting a new Batman and Superman for it.
WB/DC, do it right. Please!!!!
