George Miller told the Australian radio talk-show "Sunrise" that he is now officially uninvolved with Warner Brother's
Justice League film. A scooper told
Dark Horizons that Miller spoke about both that film and his proposed
Mad Max 3.
As far as
Justice League goes, Miller says that not only is he off the film, but he suspects that his script and casting are out the window as well. Miller suggested that he believes that Warner Brothers wants bigger stars for their superhero films. Although Miller didn't say this, if we're lucky, what he means is that Warner Brothers plans to follow in Marvel's footsteps, and will use actors from existing superhero films when they bring the characters together for
Justice League.
Regarding
Mad Max 3, Miller said that Mel Gibson has turned down the script, but that he would like to work with Gibson again. He also reveals that he hasn't given up hope for a third
Mad Max 3 movie.

A film with such an epic scale like this needs build up like Marvel's The Avengers.
Has Millar been greenlit to revitilise the Superman Saga?
JLA is kinda dead for me, so until they get their act together, I will me looking forward to Mark Millers Superman Trilogy!! :)(
The idea for Cloverfield was brilliant but just made wrong and directed wrongly, there should have at least been some tripod somewhere on cloverfield, the shaky cam was kinda annoying but that is the style they took Cloverfield in and that is what made it vastly unique from another film i've seen.
And i've met Abrahams and his bloody intelligent especially on the marketing schematics side of film-making.
And i have to agree with you the Star Trek film is looking epic and i'm saying that first hand, they showed like 15 mins of it when they showed the 30 minutes of Watchmen at the London Secret Screening, and i bloody never watch Star Trek it and ain't even a trekkie. I was always more of a Star Wars fan, but lately thats going to the dumps as well.
I meant the 'Cloverfield / Jaws' statement in the way that the monster is hadly ever seen, despite with Jaws we knew it was a shark, when the monster in Cloverfield entered all we knew is people sprinted, noises of destruction happened off screen, desbris was everywhere. Despite you only see the monster for like 2 long and 1 short glimpses throughout Cloverfield.
It was kind of like hows Jaws was always introduced, you knew he was coming by when the music entered the scene.
But if Abrahams did ever do JLA, the marketing scheme would be extraordinary

Seriously J.J Abrahams
The marketing scheme would preferably be epic, and come on no one can deny that Cloverfield's marketing scheme weren't sheer brilliance for a film that was a load of B.S remake of a Jaws like film in Manhattan
Your'd be surprised at the figures of scripts and ideas that are stolen from normal screenwriters and then rewritten by Hollywood WGA screenwriters, here is an example of a recent one 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'
Also Killah, if your devising a 2-piece epic, end on a cliffhanger or something that wants the auidence begging for more, for example 'Batman Begins'
IS IT A BIRD?
IS IT A PLANE?
NO
IT'S WARNER BROS FLINGING GEORGE MILLER OUT THE WINDOW BECAUSE HIS JLA IDEA IS CRAPPY.
Soz that had it be done, finally.
I reckon they should build this up like the way they are building up 'The Avengers'
(Plz Marvel no Hulk as the antagonist if you read this comment).
I've been writing my own JLA & World's Finest Script as well, just began the JLA one a while ago and am getting familiar with all the comics again.
Also Killah not to burst your bubble or anything i doubt Warner Bros will ever except a 200 page plus JLA script. Hollywood scripts are usually round the base of 120 - 160 pages for approx 90 - 120+mins.
That info comes from Warner Bros themself, when they sent me 2 scripts for research which was the unproduced World's Finest (Batman vs Superman) script & Superheroes: Trinity (Wonder Woman, Batman & Superman).
My recommendations on what to do with the script is if you have around 240 pages plus, cut it into 2 scripts so it's a 2 piece epic, get it copywritten and then get an agent to send it to Warner Bros but first try and get the script doctored
J
do i not know how to count or whats goin on here?
His vision just wasn't the epic justice league film I think fans deserve. I did like the story of OMACs and Brother Eye, but I don't think he was the guy to bring it to the big screen
