Affleck Shoots Down JL Movie; Wachowski's In Line?

While talking with 24 Hours Vancouver, Ben Affleck has denied chatter that he is up to call action on the "Justice League" movie.


The "Justice League " teams DC Entertainment's most famous heroes (Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, among others)--with the script by "The Gangster Squad" writer Will Beall.

Affleck: "I'm not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that's how rumours get started."

He added, "Justice League sounds really exciting, but it's not something I'm working on."

On the heels of that post-Moviehole reports the sibling directors Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski are on the studio's list of possible contenders to helm JLA after suits saw footage from their next film, Cloud Atlas, based on the science fiction tome by David Mitchell

The site claims states that Warner Bros is "apparently jazzed with Cloud Atlas, and love that it’s as much a spectacle as it is a showcase for the immense ensemble involved, so it makes sense the W’s are under consideration. Justice League needs to be as big on character, as it does bells & whistles, and the Wachowski’s could probably offer that."

Moviehole points out, however, that the Wachowskis "definitely like to work at their own speed, and definitely like to do their ‘own’ thing as opposed to being merely one ‘cog’ in a venture, so I can’t see them jumping through hoops to pull the strings on a ‘we want it done now’ large corporate statement like this. Still, exciting possibility nonetheless."
