TT Judas Contract movie put on hold? Posted by Butch on February 28, 2008 @ 10:32 pm EST
Is the animated adaption movie of "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract" in trouble? Seems so. We'd been informed by fan Andrew Laubacher with an email to the movie's script writer Marv Wolfman (who wrote the original Titans "Judas Contract" storyline), that the "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract" animated adaption movie has been put on hold by Warner Bros. Today, World's Finest has confirmed it.
Marv ("The New Teen Titans" co-creator/writer) himself completed writing the script for the highly anticipated movie project last year, but the project was never put through final production. Thanks to Andrew for letting us know about this. Click here to read Andrew's email to Marv Wolfman, as well as Marv's email response.
Apparently, Warner Bros is putting the animated "Judas Contract" movie on hold because they're not convinced enough people recognize the Teen Titans as a brand. A huge shock, considering the incredible popularity of the animated series (and all other current branch outs for the Titans thus far). Note: this animated "The Judas Contract" movie is not in line with the Teen Titans animated series, and is instead based on the Teen Titans comic story of the same name, as created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
Oddly, while "The Judas Contract" was originally slated to be next after "Justice League: The New Frontier" (which came out this week), it is now pushed aside by the upcoming "Batman: Gotham Knight" anime movie, as well as previews for the Wonder Woman animated movie. Meanwhile, not a peep about "The Judas Contract". A faster release for the Batman anime movie is understandable (as promotion for this year's "The Dark Knight" film), but there'd been little news about Wonder Woman's animated movie compared to Teen Titans' Judas Contract, whose script has long been done.
What can be done: Marv suggests that if enough people write to WB Animation asking about the "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract" movie, they may realize how much demand there really is, and finally put it through final production.
