The Alan Partridge movie casts up!

There's one thing I believe with certainty: Warner Bros has no idea how to approach the Justice League movie.

I've now heard from multiple sources that the Will Beall script for Justice League has been scrapped. The story from each source is the same: it's terrible. Some sources seem to think the whole movie is going to fall apart and never happen, while some believe that Warner Bros will keep moving forward, unwilling to lose the superhero arms race.

Beall's script supposedly includes Darkseid and a heavy cosmic threat. But the script has been half-baked from the beginning, with reports saying that heroes (beyond the core five of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern) have been cut and added from the proceedings seemingly at studio executive will. The latest word was that Warner Bros, experiencing real cold feet, had decided to wait until The Man of Steel to really move forward, but it's possible that moving forward now will mean a whole new script.

Meanwhile the studio has been unable to get the interest of a quality director, reportedly because of the script. Without a script and without a director, Justice League seems unlikely to meet a 2015 release. The question is will it ever be released at all?

Ernie, I don't agree with you about the script.
The dithering by the studio could actually mean that it wants to get this film right, but at the moment it only has one fifth of the team with any bankability.
Waiting for Man of Steel to come out is a prudent move.
If that film does the business at the box office there's still time to get a script together before the end of this year, cast it and get it shot next year.
Six months for editing and a summer/autumn release in 2015.
It's not difficult when you have the full resources of a major Hollywood studio behind you.

Oh no, I was only responding to what was being suggested about the script itself

Bryan Singer Eyes Peter Dinklage For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’
By MIKE FLEMING JR Wednesday February 13, 2013 @ 9:50pm EST

EXCLUSIVE: For X-Men: Days Of Future Past, director Bryan Singer has assembled a collision of his original X-Men cast with returnees from X-Men First Class, but here’s an intriguing development: I hear he’s bringing in Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage into the mix for a key role. Dinklage won an Emmy for his work as Tyrion Lannister, arguably the only sane member of that sordid royal clan. Singer has become infatuated with announcing cast via Twitter (he’s got everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender in the mix), but I’ll try to find out what role Dinklage will play.

EPISODE VII Will Have ? Coming Back (Spoiler obviously, but it's one that'll be hard to avoid anyway)

So what is his excuse in why he is doing it now? Pending divorce or hip operation?

Don't care, but I'd love to be able to get excited about a Star Wars series of films with JJ onboard (I didn't see the originals until they were on TV and I was too young to care, so little impact).
