Justice League of America
IESB.net has published a report that the script for JLA has been positively received by Warner Brothers. Word has been that they may want to use such a film to launch the future Wonder Woman and Flash movies, much the way DC used the JSA and JLA to put characters in the spotlight and see some jump in solo book sales. Warners may also push production of the Justice League film forward to Feburary/March '08, with the movie hitting theatres in summer 2009. That would allow the follow up "Superman: The Man of Steel" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" to act as lead ins. The team (As the studio confirms its line up to be) would consist of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash (Barry Allen), Aquaman and the Green Lantern (John Stewart) and follow the OMAC storyline and therefore also feature Max Lord.

Marley & Me
Based on John Grogan's memoir, Fox 2000 is filming Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston in "Marley & Me." It's about the yellow lab adopted by a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and his wife. They want to understand parenthood, and think the dog will give them an idea. The hyperactive pooch destroys property, gets kicked out of obedience school and his antics get worse when the children begin to arrive. But by then he is a part of the family. David Frankel has replaced Shawn Levy as director of the Scott Frank script.

The Hacksaw, the Rose & the Parthenon Parrot
Sebastian Claus was known as an authority on supernatural activity, but, this was something neither he nor his extraordinary team had ever encountered: a book whose owners all died at the hands of fictional characters. Even when Paranormal P.I. Harriett Dante was brought into the case, nobody was aware of just how bizarre this was going to get. And if they don't solve the riddle,
the world will end in fire!
