found this on wiki...not sure if the actors are confirmed.
Justice League Mortal
[edit] Premise
The film is not set in the same continuity as the Batman or Superman film series. Instead, it will set up spin-offs for other Justice League members, similar to the X-Men film series.[5]
[edit] Cast
* Adam Brody as The Flash.[6]
* D. J. Cotrona as Clark Kent / Superman.[5]
* Common as John Stewart / Green Lantern.[7] Columbus Short turned down the role.[8]
* Megan Gale as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.[6] Jessica Biel turn down the role,[9] while Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned. Teresa Palmer and Shannyn Sossamon were also interested, while Christina Milian, a comic book fan, offered her services for the role.[10][11]
* Armie Hammer as Bruce Wayne / Batman.[5]
Director George Miller cast younger actors because he wanted them to grow into their roles over the course of several movies.[12] This decision has received negative feedback from comic book fans on the internet.[5] Brody, Common, Gale and Hammer will have to physically train for their roles.[13]
Teresa Palmer and Hugh Keays-Byrne have been cast in unnamed roles. Aquaman and Martian Manhunter have yet to be cast.[14][12] In October 2007, roughly 40 actors and actresses auditioned for the League, among them; Joseph Cross, Michael Angarano, Max Thieriot, Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki and Scott Porter.[12]
[edit] Production
In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired Kieran and Michele Mulroney to write a script for Justice League Mortal,[15] which they handed in that June to positive feedback from the studio.[16] George Miller signed to direct in September 2007, while the studio hoped filming would start before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. In addition, the studio was considering filming Justice League Mortal completely in motion capture, similar to Beowulf.[17] Barrie Osbourne will produce,[18] with a $220 million budget.[14]
Filming was supposed to start in February 2008,[19] in Australia, where post-production would also be conducted.[20] Some shooting was to take place at Sydney Heads, while local colleges were scouted.[18] But in January 2008, Warner Bros. announced the film was on indefinite hold, allowing an options lapse for the cast. The studio felt the script needed perfecting, which was impossible because of the writer's strike.[21] As soon as the strike ended, Warners wanted to start filming in mid-April 2008.[5] They are still adamant for a mid-2009 release date,[22] and hope to have filming start in mid-July 2008.[23] In February 2008 it was announced that production would go to Canada, despite Miller's wishes to keep production at Fox Studios Australia.[14] Warner Bros. still faces the possibility of a June 2008 Screen Actors Guild strike. The Mulroneys went back to rewrite the script for Warner Bros. and Miller's approval.[5] On March 19, 2008, the title Justice League Mortal was announced, and it was finally official that Australia would not be housing the production of the film. Miller explained, "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Australian film industry is being frittered away because of very lazy thinking. 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."[24]
Marit Allen was originally hired as costume designer, but she died in November 2007.[25] Weta Workshop took over costume designer, a decision which opens the possibility of their sister company, Weta Digital, doing the visual effects.[26]
