JUSTICE Moving to New Zealand?

Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop seems to be attracting business for New Zealand by itself. The workshop is handling the superhero costumes for Miller's upcoming Justice League Mortal and it seems that their partnership may have the production moving to New Zealand instead of Canada should the Australia mess not be resolved.
Here's what producer Barrie Osborne had to say to the Stuff.
The decision had already had an impact on Wellington's Weta Workshop, which had been designing the costumes for the film. Some Weta staff had been hired specifically for the project. Osborne said it was likely some would lose their jobs.
"[Miller] was very impressed with the work that Weta Workshop did for us on the Justice League costumes...
"He admires what Peter Jackson's been able to do and the way he's organised. He would love to work here and if he did have to leave Australia, New Zealand is close. Where we end up it will depend on what we can make work budget-wise," Osborne said.

Please WB don't keep stalling and let's get the ball rolling again on this. And just move the whole production to the US, there's no shortage of cities or the locales you'd need for this.
pony, I think most fans, even if they don't read comics won't have a problem distinguishing trhe JLA film from the other two franchises and understanding that they're separate storylines. As for the cast I concede they're young but this could be like an early JLA tale or when they first come together. At worst some should be early thirties and most probably in their twenties, which is what most of them appear to be. Not to mention that we could wait forever and never really have consensus on what the cast should lokk like.
