CRAZY BULLSH*T RUMOR: The Wachowski’s Will Direct JUSTICE LEAGUE

Ben Affleck was an inspired choice to direct the Justice League movie for Warner Bros., but it was never going to happen. Affleck told 24 Hours Vancouver, “I’m not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumors get started… Justice League sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on.” Yep . . . everyone (including us) speculated about Affleck’s participation and he was nowhere near the project. Besides, he has Stephen King’s The Stand to worry about . . .
