Correct me if I'm wrong.

Weta triumphs in clash of the superheroes
By TOM CARDY - The Dominion Post | Monday, 07 January 2008

Weta Workshop's involvement in another blockbuster movie has been unmasked - the physical effects studio has beaten Hollywood to design and make the costumes for superheroes including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash.

The costumes will be donned by a yet-to-be-named cast for the big-budget Hollywood movie Justice League of America, to be filmed in Sydney this year and directed by Australian George Miller of Mad Max and Happy Feet fame.

The film's Wellington-based American producer, Barrie Osborne, who produced Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, confirmed Weta Workshop's involvement.

"They are doing all the costumes and they're doing a brilliant job," he told The Dominion Post from Sydney.

"A lot of people thought it would be too hard, that you can only make those things in Hollywood."

No budget has been announced for the long-awaited movie, which would bring together a range of superheroes including Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Superman.

Casting rumours include Adam Brody, of The OC, and rapper Common.

Weta Workshop specialises in physical effects such as costumes, props, models and movie sets, and Weta Digital does computer-generated visual effects.

Osborne said it was possible Weta Digital eould also be involved in the film, based on the DC Comics series, but that would depend on the studio's commitments to other projects.

"George Miller has a great take on the material, so it elevates it to something that's not a comic-book movie," he said.

Osborne was involved in many Hollywood films, including The Matrix and Apocalypse Now, before working with Jackson on the Rings trilogy.

He has since become a New Zealand citizen and, while still living in Wellington, has been involved in many big film projects.

He was an executive producer on The World's Fastest Indian and Australian film Little Fish with Cate Blanchett, and is producing the joint Korean-American action film Laundry Warrior, starring Geoffrey Rush, which is shooting in Auckland.

"At the heart of it is a love story, but with a lot of action. It is an exciting film and a different kind of film."

Is this about JLA? Oooo sounds interesting.

Thanks for the news Nese.

Oooh, that sounds interesting! Thanks Nese

I also need to do some research on JLA

I'm glad more people are reading up about the Justice League now! It's a great series of comics! You guys should also check out the cartoons that were aired a year or two ago, they're always fun to watch.

And thanks Nese for posting that interesting article.

**Captain Oatsocute** · 01-06-2008, 03:47 PM

Oh thanks Gel, I'll do that.

I knew about the flashbacks with Barry Allen, but I still think that she's a bit too young to play her. Unless they try to age her up with makeup. I guess it will help that Adam will be wearing a mask.

Thanks for that article, Nese! I'm excited that Weta are doing the costumes.

Hee, that's a good idea, Nese. I should do that, too

**Captain Oatsocute** · 01-07-2008, 07:58 AM

Oh, I didn't know there were some on youtube.

Hey guys visit this journal. It has everything!!!!
The Private Life of Clark Kent - JLA "will be insane", rumoured to be the most expensive WB movie in history

CONFIRMED CAST

Quote:

UPDATE!
Follow up on the pic of Adam Brody taken last week at a hotel in Sydney, Australia.(Check posts 1, 2).

After a suggestion by poster NIGHTSWING i sent another message asking if any of the other actors named in last months's JL cast list were at the hotel. This was his reply.....

Quote:

Yes, at the hotel were Cotrona, Hammer, Cabrera, Teresa Palmer and Adam Brody.

Now i know with all the rumors flying about that many may skeptical about this. But i have faith that he is telling the truth and that those actors were all in Sydney. I assume that they are/were all there to start rehearsals, training and do costume fittings etc.

Jay Baruchel
Montrealer Jay Baruchel is on the phone from Sydney, Australia, where he's in rehearsals for what is rumoured to be the most expensive Warner Bros. movie in history. Set for release in 2010, the project is shrouded in secrecy and while Baruchel can't talk too much about it, he does hint at something exciting. "The (film) I'm doing now will be a real cracker," he says in his frank, confident tone. "It will be insane."

It's midday in Sydney on a Sunday, and Baruchel seems content with his new short-term home. (He's rehearsing for two weeks, then returns mid-February for a six month shoot).

"Sydney is similar to Canada," Baruchel says and, throughout the interview, it becomes obvious being "similar to Canada" is about the greatest compliment the actor will give to anything or anyone. If one word sums up Baruchel, it's "patriotic."

Montreal actor improvising his way to the top

I think, Jay will play a vilain or a computer geek who will guide and help the superheroes. But why he's so talkative. (maybe he has a small role so he doesn't really care.

)

**Captain Oatsocute** · 01-07-2008, 01:11 PM

Thanks for the link and news Nese.

6 month shoot!
