‘Justice League of America’ still a possibility
How exciting can this get!
Variety posted an article which talks about how talent sucks much of the films’ earnings and can criple a project if better deals are not made.
In light of the new changes, Jim Carrey waived his $25 million fee to star in ‘Yes Man.” He instead agreed to a gross payday to be collected when the film recoups its costs. After that, he would receive 33% of all revenue, and a one-third split of 100% of DVD revenue.
The article went on to mention that Warner Bros “is likely to revisit a gross deal it made a long time ago for director George Miller to direct ‘Justice League,’ expected to go into production soon.”
So even though Australia didn’t give “Justice League” the much needed tax break, it seems that the studio is still aiming to secure Miller and proceed with the project. It’s too bad that the film will not be able to recoup its costs, unless some major changes (like casting) will be made.
