Warner Bros. has been trying to land a director for its Justice League movie, but those the studio talked to or rumored to have talked to -- Ben Affleck, Brett Ratner, the Wachowskis, among others -- didn't work out for one reason or another.

Ed Helms' Vacation reboot won't make its July start date because New Line has put the movie on hold due to some good old fashioned creative differences, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Lee Pace
Lee Pace once tested for the lead in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, but too bad he didn't get it. The part of Peter Quill went to Chris Pratt instead. As it turns out, there's a more fitting role for him in the movie.
