'Justice League' movie shelved again

Warners/Everett/Rex Features

Rumours have resurfaced that the new Justice League of America movie has been scrapped.

Superman Homepage quotes an insider on the production as confirming that the cast and crew were dismissed two weeks ago.

The source said: "It's a pity, there was a lot of good stuff in it - stuff that would've been fairly new to the screen. But also some not so good stuff, so who knows?

"There's a glimmer of hope that it will still be done... but that's a lot of planets to align."

It was first reported that the film had been shelved in January but Warner Bros subsequently announced a 2009 release date.
