George Miller could be ready to go ahead with a reboot of the post-apoclayptic franchise which launced unknown Australian actor Mel Gibson into movie stardom, as The Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner claims that he he has screentested and met with Miller for a role in Mad Max which he claims is gearing up to film next year. 

Renner doesn't reveal what role but he would seem a good fit for this generation's Max. Also we are just presuming here, but I'm guessing this will be a reboot/remake and not a Superman Returns-esque later chapter but again, I'm only guessing. 

Would love to know who he is up against for the role... because I would say Renner is a damn fine candidate for this part.

		<description><![CDATA[He couldn't convince Mel Gibson to return to the character, so Aussie director George Miller will make a fourth MAD MAX movie animated. 



3-D Anime to precise, and Miller wants to make sure we get the word "anime" in his interview with MTV...
"The anime is an opportunity for me to shift a little bit about what anime is doing because anime is ripe for an adjustment or sea change. It’s coming in games and I believe it’s the same in anime. There’s going to be a hybrid anime where it shifts more towards Western sensibilities. Kurosawa was able to bridge that gap between the Japanese sensibilities and the West and make those definitive films".
Kurosawa... Miller that is some high standard. 

The plan seems to be to make a tie-in video game that will be released at the same time as the anime flick. He is working on that with the game director of GODS OF WAR 2. 

Gibson won't be involved in either. 

A Japanese MAD MAX... weird.

		<description><![CDATA[Although with the movie adaptation being dead in the water for months, this news has been obvious to everyone for such a long time but in any event, today Aussie director George Miller confirmed on the Sydney-based talk show "Sunrise" that he is no longer working on the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie in any capacity at WB.



Miller had been given the task of directing the proposed team-up movie during the late summer of last year but once Christmas time came and it was still stalling, it was obvious that WB were giving up on the project which by then they had spend a good deal of money on with lots of pre-production stages completed and casting places filled.

The negative fan reaction to the whole idea of a JUSTICE LEAGUE film at this stage of the DC Comics on Screen canon played a huge part in it's demise, a lot of it stemming from the casting of young and mostly inexperienced actors in their 20's but Miller believes that wouldn't happen again if the project did ever get revived.
"the studios seem to want bigger stars in their superhero movies now."
Miller also told the station that he hasn't yet given up hope of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brad Pitt and Warner Bros, who turned Homer's epic poem The Iliad into the 2004 Summer tentpole TROY... are to team together again to work on the Greek's other famous poem THE ODYSSEY with George Miller expected to direct.

Though surprisingly, it won't be a direct sequel to the near $500 million worldwide hit.

Instead it will be set in outer space, according to Variety.



The classic story follows the character of Odysseus, who hatched the idea to build the Trojan Horse. "The Odyssey" deals with his long journey home after he declines to become a god.

One of the more surprising studio decisions in recent years was for WB not to go ahead with a TROY sequel featuring Sean Bean (who played Odysseus), who was clearly positioned in that movie to setup for bigger things and future films.

That movie could have also placed Bean into being a Summer action star and things might not have gotten so bad for him that he had to star in a remake of THE HITCHER.

Though after TROY'S so-so critical and fan reaction and WB lack of faith in Bean as a summer tentpole lead, it never happened.

One wonders how closely to the themes of The Odyssey this ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's bordering nonsensical talking about the Justice League movie at this point because for every claim, counter claim and then counter, counter claim - but the truth is the movie has no cast or firm greenlight, so until we hear otherwise that's how we will view the official status of the film.

However, IESB have heard a juicy story that's a little too good not to report on.


They say that Australian director George Miller has been pulled off the now dead Justice League project and the film completely canned because WB were worried about the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale backlash on their very successful Batman franchise which has made over $1 billion so far from two movies.

They didn't want to piss them off basically.

But that would seem not to be the end of Miller and WB/DC. The site go on to claim that the studio is looking at Miller as a big potential candidate for the Green Lantern film which looks very likely to be the next original character adapted for screen from their canon, beating The Flash and Wonder Woman to the punch.

They have a script from Greg Berlanti (The Broken Hearts Club, Dawson's Creek) which they are very fond of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably sounding more hopeful than factual, Australian director George Miller told The Herald Sun that the current plan is to shoot Justice League offshore sometime next year.


The movie is currently shelved, with none of the original actors contracted to the project. As recently as last month, Warner Bros and DC. executives held a meeting to discuss the future of their company's characters in the midst of Marvel's masterful plan of an Avengers movie and the massive success of their own dark character - Batman with the Christopher Nolan franchise.

Where did they go right with The Dark Knight, and not with their own characters - should undoubtedly and was almost certainly the main topic of conversation.

Whilst he was talking to the newspaper, Miller also spoke of Megan Gale's surprise casting as Wonder Woman, sounding almost like he was possibly turned on by her screen test
"She got the job because she blitzed her screen test. I mean, I had no idea she was so good," Miller said.

"She walked into our office in Sydney and read the part. She has done some Italian movies, but I didn't think she would be as good as she was.

"But once she read we all looked around ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More problems for the Justice League, as if it really needed it.

George Miller told the Sydney Morning Herald that there is a 90% chance that the $200 million film will indeed have to move overseas (probably to Canada, something we have covered quite extensively) after it was refused a 40% rebate on the massive Warner Bros. project.
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Australian film industry is being frittered away because of very lazy thinking," Miller said. "If that's going to be the final decision, they're throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars of investment that the rest of the world is competing for and, much more significantly, highly skilled creative jobs."

"New Zealand built up their franchises through Hercules and Xena into Lord of the Rings," he said. "Now they're doing three Tintin films, two more Hobbit films and Halo. They've got work for 15 years in that country."
The director of the equity section of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, Simon Whipp argued his stance...
"For the public, both in Australia and outside of Australia, it will be seen as an American film," he said. "I have tremendous respect for George and his work, which has been some of the most successful ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Justice League is still very much alive guys and I'm of the opinion that all those actors who we have mentioned cast a while back are still locked for this project (with the possible exception of Anton Yelchin) and if it gets going soon they will all be able to suit up pretty quickly.

I also believe that Warner Bros. have spent so much time, effort and money to get the film this far into production that they are scared to death of halting the project indefinitely. They are frantically working on script re-writes and hoping the SAG strike is as quickly resolved as the aborted DGA strike and obviously not the WGA one which would be a worst case scenario.

You can take all this info that I got from an e-mail last night as being legit. Every time we've reported on the Justice League we have been 100% spot on so far and although it doesn't tell us much that we don't know already, it does confirm a few things (the Owen Paterson rumor that's been spreading) and the new secret code name...

	The code title of the movie is 7 Friends.


	The team (incl Owen Paterson) is still officially on hiatus ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that the strike is over, it would seem the JUSTICE LEAGUE film is officially back on and will probably begin production quite soon. I kinda figured as much the other week when none of the stars of the picture were announced as finding any other work since they were let go from their contracts.

According to a report in The Sunday Morning Herald, it's claimed JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL (probably with a : in), the $200 million superhero team-up movie at Warner Bros. will now shift production to Canada because of problems the film is facing with the Feds in Australia who want a 40% rebate on the project.

The article goes on to mention that the JUSTICE LEAGUE film is back on but in a "precarious" position because of the change of location. The site also goes to say that this guy is in the film. AICN deduce and are quite probably correct that the actor will be Martian Manhunter in the film...

Hugh Keays-Bryne is his name. The Indian born but British character actor is quite a big name in Australia but apart from appearing in Farscape and George Miller's own 1979 movie MAD MAX, you won't know who he is.
