DC comic-book big screen adaptation, Justice League of America has been abandoned indefinitely, according to Variety.

Warner Bros studios has decided to let its casting options lapse for the DC Comics movie, after problems arose over the script and taxation issues.

The much anticipated casting was set to feature The OC star Adam Brody as The Flash alongside a number of relative newcomers - including Arnie Hammer Jr as Batman, Common as The Green Lantern, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and DJ Cotrona as Superman - the movie had been scheduled for a summer 2009 release.

The cast was on location and ready to begin shooting with director George Miller when production was halted. Cast-members were informed late Tuesday that their options would not be exercised, but they were also told that the studio is determined to make the film, with them in it.

Warner Bros representative told Variety the postponement had been caused by a delay in receiving an official response regarding tax breaks for shooting the film in Australia, the trade paper also reports that Kieran and Michael Mulroney’s script is in need of a rewrite.
With the Writers’ Guild of America (WGA) continuing to strike, reworking the script will not be possible until the deadlock is settled.  No word on this might effect co-stars Adam Brody, and actress Teresa Palmer, rumored romance we reported here.
