The troubled Justice League movie, the status of which Director George Miller now describes as ‘precarious’ could be moving its production from Australia to Canada reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
The project was supposed to start shooting last month at Fox Studios until production was halted, citing uncertainty over new incentives. The problem lies around a dispute about whether the $200m picture is eligible for the Federal Government’s new incentive for film production. The Australian film industry is apparently split over whether the 40% rebate rule for Australian producers should apply to big-budget movies.
Now it seems likely that the studio will push for the movie to move to Canada, even though it has a largely Aussie crew and a cast that includes natives Megan Gale, Teresa Palmer and Hugh Keays-Byrne.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
