I got the idea to make a fan trailer for JL because of the opening title cards from the Lego Movie trailer and my excitement at the magnitude this film would be. A little inspiration, eh? I have to be honest about how much this exceeded my expectations. I didn't think it would turn out any good, but I'm happy with the final results. With my Justice League fan trailer I tried to achieve the type of vibe I would like to see in a JL film. Anyway, I hope you guys like it as much as I did making it.
Fan Cast:
Henry Cavill- Superman
Jim Caviezel- Batman
Jaimie Alexander- Wonder Woman
Ryan Reynolds- Green Lantern
Bryce Johnson- Flash
Plot: An alien invasion lead by General Zod, back from the Phantom Zone, (I know he got his neck snapped by Supes in Man of Steel, but this is a FAN TRAILER.) has terrorized the whole world's population including Metropolis, Smallville, Gotham City, Coast City, and more. Superman became a recognizable figure and made a peace pledge with the U.S. army. He became a symbol of hope and the protector of America. However, after Kal-El became a symbol others followed and soon the world gained a series of heroes to protect humanity. When Zod threatens mankind as we know it, the Department of Metahuman Affairs contact Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince, Hal Jordan, and Barry Allen for their help in defeating Zod and his extraterrestrial army before it's too late. Complications soon arise when Superman is framed by one of Zod's henchmen including Faora of murdering an agent of D.M.A. and half the population of a small village in Japan breaking the peace pledge Clark made with the military and crippling his friendship with Batman, who is hired to hunt Kent down and turn him over after he is forced to flee.
0:10 - title cards from The Lego Movie trailer (go watch it! it's funny and awesome)
0:49 - shot of Caviezel as Bruce Wayne
0:52 - Bryce Johnson as Barry Allen
1:00 - is supposed to be Green Lantern flying from Oa to Earth
1:05 - is actually supposed to be a D.M.A. agent offering the group to join Operation Justice League [the shot is really from Pretty Little Liars]
1:10 - Bruce (Caviezel) receiving a phone call informing him that they captured Superman.
1:12 - OK, that shot of Bats throwing Supes into a bank vault is in fact a gif, but I used Virtual Dub to convert it into an AVI file, so that it would play as footage and not a still image
1:30 - Lex! ( I do not know who that actor is though since I just ripped it off from the TV show trailer for Aquaman)
1:33 - Wayne shooting at Kent is the second and only other gif I used making it able to show as footage by converting it with Virtual Dub just as the first gif.
2:00 - That 'Coming Soon' title card is from a Deadpool fan trailer that I had previously downloaded and decided to use it because I was too [frick]ing lazy to look for something else.
