What seems like a disaster in the making may not be in the making anymore.

Sources are telling IESB that Warner Bros.' proposed "Justice League of America" film project could be dead in the water despite all the pre-production work that has already taken place at Fox Studios in Australia in preparation for filming to start early this year.

"'Justice League is indeed in danger of not starting production on time, and maybe even getting scrapped altogether," a source told the site last week. "The concerns are that the script is not ready to go in front of cameras, and also that the budget is getting a bit out of control."

On top of that, the Writers Guild of America strike hasn't helped much either with script issues being impossible to resolve since no writers are available to resolve them.

Script issues aren't the only things affecting the project. Studio executives apparently are not happy with the actors brought in to play the superheroes, calling them "mediocre" at best. On top of that, the directors of Warner Bros.' other superhero hits -- Superman and Batman -- haven't been too enthusiastic about a "Justice League" film. Bryan Singer, who directed "Superman Returns" last year, has asked the studio to delay such a project while "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan has expressed complaints about the film since the beginning.

IESB said their latest sources are telling them that production for "Justice League" has now been pushed back to at least April, if it's ever going to get off the ground at all.
