Let's Bash a STEPHEN AMELL / JUSTICE LEAGUE Rumor

Or at least, let's represent Stephen Amell's situation as best we can.

 STEPHEN AMELL / JUSTICE LEAGUE Movie Rumors


First up, were reports that...

STEPHEN AMELL IS IN TALKS for the JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE from WB.

The details I see in one particular article say that he's in early talks for the movie, but the movie is much farther off than many people think.

The hint, being that many folks are rumoring that the upcoming (and recently delayed) Batman vs Superman movie could be the gestation point for a Justice League movie.

That seems to be exciting news since it's been a pretty rare scenario when a TV actor actually carries forth his role from TV onto the big screen in genre movies.

But...

Then Stephen Amell himself seems to have chimed in on the "news" of his supposed contract talks.

Ooh boy.  It goes something like this, snippets from his statement below:

{

... I find it incredibly discouraging to see a headline like the ones I've been seeing this morning. Headlines that aren't just a stretch, they're totally fabricated. At no point, have I had "studio level" discussions about any feature films at Warner Bros.

In this particular instance, when I read articles that take a pretty straightforward answer and slap a title on it that has little to no correlation to what I've actually said, it makes it seem as though I'm disrespecting my current position. Which is bullshit.

...

But would I really just casually subvert a process cloaked in secrecy? A process - by the way - being run by the company who currently employs me. C'MON!

We're making a kick ass show.

...

If every once and a while, some dickweed wants to pull a headline out of thin air to generate page views, then that's the price we pay
.

}

With that said, let's address the potential elephant in the rumor room.

Rumors or reported rumors about folks like Stephen Amell or even Jason Momoa being in the Justice League movie, have to be denied, even if it's true.  They can't reveal sensitive negotiation information, if indeed, some unscrupulous employee who has no honor and spreads these rumors.

If, there's any semblance of a potential story, these rumor bits are cool.  But for now, we must consider them to be just that, rumors, and nothing more.
