Adam Brody Reminisces About His Flash Role In The Once Fabled Justice League Movie.

The WB executives at least got something right!

WB canceled this film and blamed it on Australia not giving the movie production the proper tax break. Well if that was true, then the movie would have been scouting out different locations in different countries to film. Since that was total hogwash, the WB has canceled the Justice League movie all together.

Adam Brody who was signed to play the Flash reminisces about putting on the suit, Adam states:

“I put it on once, yeah,” It was such a preliminary version that it wasn’t quite cool yet. It was only kinda nerdy.”

“I did some poses,” he laughed. “It was kinda what you’d think, without certain features; it was the first, rough-draft version.”

As soon as Adam Brody signed on to play the Flash, the role seemed to vanish just as quickly. Does Adam know why?

“I’ll never totally know; I mean, we’re always half in the dark,”. But how close did we come? We were in Australia for some table reads and fittings and what not for a few weeks with George Miller and his camp, and that was a great experience. I don’t regret a second of it. I had a really good time and a lot of positive things came from that.”

Adam chimed in with his thoughts on any future plans for his Justice League movie:

“I don't think they're doing that movie, that incarnation, ever." The world has plenty of superheroes, that’s what I’ll say.”

Maybe the "positive thing" Adam is talking about is getting a role in next month's "Jennifer's Body" opposite Megan Fox. The only other positive thing I think that came from that script read was that the Justice League never got made. Once "Green Lantern" is in front of audiences and they get Superman right, then the WB should give the green light to "Justice League."

Good thing JL got canned. I like Brody, but he's wrong for Flash, like how pretty much everyone who was cast in that movie were wrong for their parts.

So true, this movie would have sucked!

that movie would have been horrible, still I wonder if there's some test footage of Brody in the Flash suit or some of the other cast members, that would be kind of interesting to see

The only casting that MIGHT have been ok was Megan Gale for Wonder Woman. She definitely has the look, but I've never seen her act. Everyone else was awful. I have never been so happy to hear that a comic book movie was canceled, as I was then.

Thank god this never got a green light. Brody is a terrible actor with a predominant lisp which is terrible just to hear when he talks. I cant stand him anyway.

Sean William Scott should not be The Flash. Ryan Reynolds should be the Flash and someone else should be Green Lantern.

Very cool article @ JMAN!

marvel has a much better plan, have the superheros star in their own movies then culminate to the big team up.

i hope to dear lord that jl never gets made because it will suck. i dont want to see batman, superman, and gl side by side live action. ever. it would totally suck!!
flames809
flames809 - 9/3/2009, 12:46 PM

@ flames

its pretty safe to say that this would have sucked worse than anything we have ever seen...except maybe GI Joe...ZING!

CorndogBurglar - 9/3/2009, 1:06 PM
@ tyler

damn what was he in??? i can't place him, but damn i know i've seen him in something. its on the tip of my tongue, i just can't remember, lol

InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:08 PM
He was Human Torch in Fantastic Four and Rise of the Silver Surfer. But he was one of the highlights of both movies, so don't hold it against him.

Plus, I've seen him in Sunshine and he was great. He can play serious and not always goofy. And he was also great in Push.

CorndogBurglar - 9/3/2009, 1:10 PM
oh yeah, wow, that just goes to show how memorable the FF movies were for me, lol. he was the best part of those movies though!@
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:12 PM
I agree. Evans was spot on as Human Torch. You should check out the movie "Sunshine" directed by Danny Boyle. It is a really great movie. It has Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in Batman Begins) in it as well as Evans.
AvengingAngel1022
AvengingAngel1022 - 9/3/2009, 1:12 PM
yeah i think it woulda suck
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 9/3/2009, 1:21 PM
I agree, Evans was a perfect Human Torch.

I saw Sunshine. Pretty crazy movie.
Did you notice that the tone was a bit like Solaris, but less boring?
Evans was great in that one too.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:24 PM
Don't know what Solaris is, sorry :(

I loved every second of Sunshine. The performances were great, the visuals were great, the plot was great, everything was great :)
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 9/3/2009, 1:24 PM
Anyway I refuse to beleive WB will never go there again.

Just watch. If Avengers is a hit, JLA won't be far behind it

CorndogBurglar - 9/3/2009, 1:27 PM
@ tyler

i like cillian murphy! he was awesome in 28 days later, and i liked his scarecrow, also. red eye was just, meh.

@ mulder

never saw solaris or sunshine. i'll check 'em out though! i've actually never heard of sunshine, lol.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:30 PM
I like Cillian Murphy a lot as well. He's an excellent actor.

LEEE777 - 9/3/2009, 1:34 PM
EVANS a perfect HUMAN TORCH but a CRAP WALLY WEST!

it'll be like watching his twin brother ffs!

Only serious choice for WALLY is either JENSEN ACKLES (lol)

Or RYAN KWANTEN (From TRUEBLOOD).



; )

Yes REYNOLDS was the best but oh well!
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:39 PM
That literally makes no sense...if he's perfect as Human Torch, it's a natural fit for him to be Wally.

Imran
Imran - 9/3/2009, 1:43 PM
Would have really liked Ryan Reynolds to play Wally West.. But he's the Green Lantern

Kind of good this didn't get made in a way but I would have liked to see it none the less.. When movies don't work out, the studios rarely can the idea, they just get pushed to make a new better one
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/3/2009, 1:44 PM
EVANS is a CRAP an lazy choice for FLASH! ; D

He will always be THE HUMAN TORCH to me!

InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:47 PM
Just like Johnny Depp is a lazy choice for Dr. Strange.

How is he a crap choice? You have to actually back up your opinions if you want them to be taken seriously.
Bandrews1
Bandrews1 - 9/3/2009, 1:47 PM
I really looking forward to seeing him as the Flash. And the Justice League movie.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/3/2009, 1:51 PM
I hope they set up or hint at a Justice League movie in the next Supes movie.

Solaris was a Russian science fiction film from the 1970's. It was one of the worst movies of all time.
But it had this tone of heavy philosophical circumspection of the issues at hand. The soundtrack had some Experimental Industrial in it.

In 2002 Steven Soderberg remade it with George Clooney and that tall babe from Ronin.
The remake was qite a bit better, but that isn't saying much. It was boring and barely worth watching. I wouldn't recommend it.

Sunshine was sort of an underground/sleeper hit where the sun is about to go supernova and a team is sent to fire a giant missile into it that may make it fuel up again. It's a pretty intense movie. There are quite a large number of scientific inacuracies, but I don't care about that. Anyway it had this tone and certain elemnts that reminds one of Solaris or maybe 2001 in that the characters find themselves wrestling with what to make of the profound implications of their predicament. If you like sci fi, give it a shot

GUNSMITH - 9/3/2009, 2:01 PM
