Watch a Live Read of George Miller’s JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL Script with Casper Van Dien as Superman
I would have loved to see George Miller’s Justice League Mortal film, but apparently it just wasn’t meant to be. Right before the film was supposed to start shooting, Warner Bros. shut it down. Not long after the script for the film, which was written by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, leaked online.
The script may have been around awhile, and I’m sure some of you have already read it, but Comic Bug comics store in Manhattan Beach, California recently hosted a livenread of the script with a full cast of actors, and it’s really interesting. Unfortunately, the original cast wasn’t brought together to do this, but it’s still entertaining and worth checking out.
The live-read consists of Adam Marcus as the Narrator, Alfred Pennyworth; Jennifer Wenger as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince; Tracy Drolet as Iris Allen; Curtis Fortier as The Flash/Barry Allen; Will Dixon as Batman/Bruce Wayne; Nathan Hedrick as Maxwell Lord; Scott Koblish as Martian Manhunter/John Jones, Brother Eye, OMAC Alpha; Debra Sullivan as Talia al Ghul; Casper Van Dien as Superman/Clark Kent; Cole Rommel as Wally West; Rafael Navarro as Aquaman/Arthur Curry; Eddie Jordan III as Green Lantern/John Stewart; and Chris Saunders, who does the Music and SFX.
One thing is for sure, the DC Cinematic Universe would have been extremely different.
