C Wayne Owens' Movie & TV News is a daily newsletter featuring news gathered from all over the net with the newest and hottest movie and tv scoops. It is heavily weighted towards SF and Fantasy film, but if it's news (and not just Celeb gossip) it will be here, and be here weeks before the TV News shows even touch on it.

MOVIE & TV NEWS

Live Action JLA? Comics Continuum has been looking into a lot of rumors about  a possible Justice League live-action television series. The CW's Smallville has featured appearances by versions of Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter. The first three of those are set to return to the show on an upcoming episode called "Justice." The episode, under tight network security, will be one of the series' most expensive.  An inside source told the Continuum that DC Comics heroes will probably be appearing in yet another episode before the end of the sixth season. Al Gough, executive producer, denies  plans for a Justice League series. If a second "League" episode happens, air time seems to point towards May sweeps.

Spike & The Riots Variety reports that Spike Lee will be directing an as yet untitled drama the 1992 Los Angeles riots sometime next year. Lee told Variety that he, a New Yorker,  had vivid memories of the rioting, which came as he was screening his biopic "Malcolm X" for studio heads. He says: "This isn't about some cavalcade of stars, but rather a truthful and realistic examination of what happened, what the ramifications were and where we are now, in hopes that something like this doesn't happen again. All the things Malcolm X was talking about were happening. Assistants were running into the room, passing them notes. 'Do you want us to order a helicopter to come into the studio to get you home?' "You could see it in their faces, watching this movie, wondering if L.A. was burning down, and if the world was coming to an end . . . it was very scary. I went straight to LAX, and my ass was on the red eye."
