March 31, 2008: JLA Movie - False Alfred Rumor, Christensen as Superman?

MovieHole.net shot down a recent rumor that actor Stephen Tobolowsky, who is now one of the cast members for the television show "Heroes", was approached, or was going to play, Alfred in "Justice League" (or "Justice League: Mortal" by recent reports), with this quote from this actor himself... "Completely flase. I sent all of the stories to my manager who has zero idea where the stories came from...who contacted Warners...who has no idea where the story came from. The studio said they don't even have a script....that they expect a draft in two MONTHS...they have not secured the super heroes yet let alone their butlers...we shall see". If there is a Butler role available in the film, Tobolowsky seems to be interested, but at this stage, there isn't - as he says, there's not even a completed script yet. But as one rumor goes bye-bye a new one emerges, with CinemaBlend.com reporting that a Canadian fan claims to have spotted various members of the cast and crew of the JLA movie in British Columbia, hanging out while director George Miller scouts locations. One such report claims that Adam Brody was spotted in a BC bar and was asked what he and the crew were doing there. Brody was supposedly quoted as saying that they're in BC to check out locations for their new superhero movie "Justice League: Mortal". Brody pointed at Miller and said "George is our director". He said he's playing The Flash, Common is playing Green Arrow (or Lantern, one or the other), Armie Hammer (sounded like Arm and Hammer) is Batman, someone from "mad max" is Martian Man-hunter and Hayden Christensen is Superman. Brody also supposedly nodded to the woman to his right and said "she is in it too". Just in case you missed it, you might want to go back and read the part where Adam Brody said Hayden Christensen is playing Superman. Over the past few months a lot of different names have been rumored for the Superman part, but Hayden’s has not been one of them... until now. If this turns out to be true, it’s a pretty big shocker. Remember this is an unsubstantiated rumor, another in a long line of rumors associated with this movie. Thanks to Eli Gutierrez and Nate Ruff (Nate1986) for help gathering info on this report. 18 Comments · 255 Reads ·
