According to Obsessed with Film, the much-talked about “Justice League” film is set to lens in Australia.

No big surprise, I suppose, considering Aussie George Miller (“Mad Max”, “Happy Feet”) is directing the movie.

And Miller has roped in some true professionals to help prep the production – “Nikki Barrett (Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, The Proposition) [has been] hired to handle the casting in Australia. Ronna Kress (Beowulf, The Mummy 3) will oversee the entire casting process. Oscar-winner Barrie M. Osborne (The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) will take on producing duties; he’ll be joined by Miller’s partner Doug Mitchell.”

Now that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll be seeing Aussies playing the main heroes but it’s likely to open up a few doors for local actors in the supporting actor arena.

With ‘’Wolverine’’ about to start filming down under and now ‘’Justice League of America’’, Australia’s gonna see an influx of crime hitting Sydney in the next few months…. But thankfully, some tighted heroes are on hand to combat the seedy and scummish.
