George Miller Reflects On His Cancelled Justice League Movie
Filmmaker George Miller looks back on his cancelled Justice League movie, sharing why he believes it was cancelled and what he took away from the experience. Miller is best known as the co-creator of the Mad Max franchise with producer Byron Kennedy, having co-written and directed every installment in the long-running action franchise. In the years since launching the series, Miller has expanded his filmmaking footprint to a variety of genres, including the Oscar-nominated drama Lorenzo's Oil, the family adventure Babe movies and Oscar-winning animated family film Happy Feet.
Miller was set to try his hand at the superhero genre with Justice League: Mortal, at the time the latest in a string of attempts made by Warner Bros. to bring the DC Comics team to life on the big screen. Shortly after his 2007 hiring, Miller began auditioning a full roster of ensemble stars for its central cast, some of whom included Joseph Cross, Michael Angarano, Adrianne Palicki and Minka Kelly. Future From Dusk till Dawn star D.J. Cotrona was ultimately cast as Superman alongside Mad Max: Fury Road's Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Armie Hammer as Batman, Adam Brody as The Flash and Jay Baruchel as the film's unspecified villain. Development on Justice League: Mortal would ultimately fall apart and now the creative behind the film is opening up about the process.
