George Miller Is Now Officially Off Justice League Film

Source:  Dark Horizons
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.

He said he's been in talks with a "big hollywood action director" and has a 3 movie epic planned, but that's all we know. Hopefully...

JLA has kind of became dead due to all the rumours floating around it, thanks George Miller.

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?

I can totally see Abrams doing this, but I don't know if its his style.
JLA is kinda dead for me, so until they get their act together, I will me looking forward to Mark Millers Superman Trilogy!! :)(

I know Abrahams didn't direct Cloverfield, it was some Matt Reeves, whom i never heard of before Cloverfield.
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

Chronic, Abrams didn't direct Cloverfield, he only produced it. You prob. already knew that, but his face was the one people saw because his is the face that makes money. And I loved Cloverfield. I understand why some people wouldn't like it, but I think you can at least give a better reason other than "remake of a Jaws like film in Manhattan." You seem like a smart guy, but no offense, that statement didn't really make a lot of sense. I mean, Cloverfield was about the people's point of view of a monster attack. That was the point. No where did I think "Jaws like." lol Abrams DID however direct the upcoming Star Trek film, which looks pretty damn epic and I'm not even close to being a trekkie. I'd have faith in Abrams to pull off a JLA movie if he can pull off Star Trek, which is also large in scale. Just get Miller out of there

Zerocool, did you watch Cloverfield?

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

No probs, but just make sure that before you hand it to any money-grabbing goon in Hollywood, make sure it copywritten.
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'

December 2nd, 2008 3:04pm
Hey killah, if your script is any good, I could direct it. What do ya think? ;)

THANK GOD HEAVEN GLORY IT'S FINALLY UP, UP AND AWAY OUT THE WINDOW WITH JLA.
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

does this mean they have no screenplay for this movie?!? cuz yea yea i know every one has an idea for this movie but i actually have a 200 plus page screenplay i mean i think its really good but who do i get it 2? i mean i had put it away once i heard miller was directing cuz i knew he would bring in his own story but now that he's out maybe DC is open for new ideas so does anybody know who i should send it 2?

December 2nd, 2008 12:54pm
I'd also rather see another Mad Max film than JLA, The Fallen.
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 10:56pm
Lol, Diagama. That's a good idea Ringwrather. He should write it and direct it himself. I like Apocolypto, and Braveheart. I actually look more forward to Mad Max 4 if it ever happens, than JLA. But that is just me.

Doom and gloom seems to be surrounding this film venture. DOOOOOOM and GLOOOOOOOM!

December 1st, 2008 4:37pm
If JL does happen than I don't think Bale would reprise his role in that kind of movie,because he said in an interview about having robin in an upcoming movie & he said that batman should be a chaacter that should be working alone.I hope it does not happen.

December 1st, 2008 4:07pm
There are actually only two Mad Max films. The first is Mad Max and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The other one that you are probably thinking of is The Road Warrior which was actually a Mad Max film, it was just not named as such. So in a round about way, I am saying that you are right. Technically it would be the fourth movie with Mad Max.
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 3:32pm
Excuse me i remember seeing 3 Mad Max films already, you mean Mad Max 4!!!
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 3:23pm
Maybe Gibson should write the script hinmself if he wasnt pleased with it...
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 2:43pm
They need to take their TIME on this one & get it right. Not just throw anything out there cause of Marvel & the Avengers is coming out.
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 2:20pm
I'm glad the Justice League has stopped. Every report that came out about it sounded terrible and the wrong direction for the characters to go. As for Mad Max, I doubt Gibson will ever come back to that series.
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 1:23pm
I was thinking that same thing Norm.

December 1st, 2008 12:09pm
Mad Max, The Road Warrior, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome...
do i not know how to count or whats goin on here?
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 11:57am
YES! Now maybe I can pick up the project when I'm in the biz ;)

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
  (Delete)
December 1st, 2008 11:34am
Well, lets hope they go in the right direction, and as knobie pointed out, its Mad Max 4!!!
