Hey guys,
It looks like Teresa is very much part of the Justice League production, but I’m just unsure of which character she is set to play. But anyway, JL is now encountering new problems and that being filming location - George Miller wants to keep the production in Australia, but it looks like it’ll need to be shifted elsewhere.

Justice League was due to be shot at Fox Studios this year until Warner Bros suspended production last month, citing uncertainty over the new incentives. Based on a comic book, it is due to star the Australians Megan Gale, Teresa Palmer and Hugh Keays-Byrne among eight lead roles and employ a huge crew that includes visual effects specialists.
“One of the reasons for doing Justice League in this country is the opportunity to bring back all the people we lost on Happy Feet who went overseas,” Miller said. “We spent four years developing this talent and the cream of them left because they didn’t have another film to go on to …
“The idea is to say come back, start off on Justice League then move onto Happy Feet 2.”
Miller described the movie’s status as “precarious” and said Warner Bros was pushing for it to be shot overseas, with Canada the most likely option.
The executive director of the Screen Producers Association of Australia, Geoff Brown, said capping the rebate was one of several proposals being debated.
“We want to be seen as an industry that’s responsible and we don’t want to be caught up in some sort of close-down of the scheme because of perceived excesses,” he said.
It is known that some producers believe Justice League is not Australian enough to qualify for the scheme and should be made under the 15 per cent rebate for foreign films.
