The Justice League Mortal<\/em> documentary is alive again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those unaware, Justice League Mortal was a film that was in pre-production in 2007 that would be directed by George Miller<\/a> and featured a cast including D. J. Cotrona<\/a>\u00a0(Shazam!<\/em>) as Superman,\u00a0Armie Hammer<\/a>\u00a0(The Lone Ranger<\/em>) as Batman, Megan Gale<\/a>\u00a0(Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em>) as Wonder Woman, Common<\/a>\u00a0as Green Lantern, Adam Brody<\/a>\u00a0 (The O.C<\/em>.) as\u00a0The Flash \/ Barry Allen, Anton Yelchin<\/a> (Star Trek<\/em>) as Wally West, Hugh Keays-Byrne<\/a> (Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em>) as Martian Manhunter, Santiago Cabrera<\/a> (Star Trek: Picard<\/em>) as Aquaman, Teresa Palmer<\/a> as Talia al Ghul, and Jay Baruchel<\/a>\u00a0as the primary villain,\u00a0Maxwell Lord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film was set to launch a brand new connected universe, with Justice League Mortal being the initial film and solo-films expected to follow. Then the 2007\u201308 Writers Guild of America strike killed the film’s production and the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an official press release from filmmaker Ryan Unicomb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL DOCUMENTARY BACK ON TRACK Production company Purryburry Productions and Filmmakers Ryan Unicomb\/Jordan Bailey are happy to announce today that the documentary surrounding the cancelled production of George Miller\u2019s JUSTICE LEAGUE film will resume production later this year. <\/p>

The project \u2013 retitled SEVEN FRIENDS: GEORGE MILLER\u2019S JUSTICE LEAGUE <\/em><\/strong>will explore the rise and fall of the production and examine the work that took place before the project was eventually shut down.<\/p>

\u201cAfter speaking with cast and crew on and off over the last 5 years, we are confident we have a wonderful project to bring to light for all pop culture fans around the globe. It kind of feels like the world wasn\u2019t really ready for this the first time we tried to do this (2015). With everything going on in the world, now feels like the right time to look back at what may have been and celebrate what actually was\u201d \u2013 Ryan Unicomb <\/em><\/p>

The documentary will feature interviews with cast & crew, an in-depth look at never before seen production art, photographs and video footage. <\/p>

Revered artist Kode \u201cBosslogic\u201d Abdo will provide promotional art for the project and renowned cosplayer\/pop culture personality Chris \u201cCosplay Chris\u201d Stanley will lend his expertise to the documentary with detailed recreations of screen accurate costumes based on the designs from the cancelled project.<\/p>

\u201cWhile George Miller at this stage has no intention of taking part, we are hopeful that once he sees our project as the thoughtful celebration of the work that took place that we hope it to be; he may change his mind. \u201c <\/em><\/p>

The documentary will be produced by Ryan Unicomb & Jordan Bailey with a funding campaign expected to be launched in July. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
