Jason Reitman Turns Down Justice League

Juno director Jason Reitman was also on the Howard Stern Show today and revealed that he turned down an offer to direct Justice League of America for Warner Bros. Howard's first question was "How's the script?"

"Good, FINE... You know, I mean. I had to sign something, they send me the script and it comes on this spy paper which cant be xeroxed," revealed Jason Reitman. "They have a time when I have to have the script back to them and the script is fine and I could be spending..." Jason later continued: "What am I going to do with Justice League of America? So Basically I'll make a movie that is not as good as X-Men, then I'll be the guy who made a movie not as good as X-Men. Where just like you talking about, going to smaller stations, if I make another small movie, and it's really good, it performs well..." "Right now I'm thought of as a particular type of director. I've got an oscar nomination. I've made two indie films that play film festivals that are considered thoughtful. I want to stay in that world, I like making those type of films."

Reitman later let it slip that the budget for Justice League would have been $150 million.
