According to John August, Shazam is Dead:
By “dead,” I mean that it won’t be happening. I don’t think it’s on the studio’s radar at all. It may come back in another incarnation, with another writer, but I can say with considerable certainty that it won’t be the version I developed.
The movie that is. That being the other DC film project I was really excited about. (No, I’ll pass on Dark Superman and Green Lantern still frightens me with visions of Jack Black) So, this makes me a bit depressed, but August’s Blog has a great rundown of his take on the story and what happened that’s pretty interesting.
