A number of different actors were fleetingly associated with the project; Jessica Biel had turned down the role of Wonder Woman, [2] while Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned [3]. Teresa Palmer and Shannyn Sossamon were also interested, while Christina Milian, a comic book fan, offered her services for the role [4].

[edit] Production

In February 2007, Warner Bros. hired Kieran and Michele Mulroney to write a script for Justice League, [5] which they handed in that June to positive feedback from the studio. 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 completely in motion capture, similar to Beowulf. Barrie Osbourne will produce, with a $220 million budget. Filming was supposed to start in February 2008, in Australia,[6] where post-production would also be conducted. Some shooting was to take place at Sydney Heads, while local colleges were scouted. As of April 2008, the production was shelved.
