Back in May we heard about Ryan Unicomb and producers Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell's plans to get a documentary focusing on George Miler's defunct Justice League movie off the ground. Like the recent The Death of Superman Lives doc, it would take a behind-the-scenes look at the production and ultimately what led to it being shut down. The project already has producers, writers, and private investors on board, and recently Unicomb was able to secure the services of Indiegogo to help with a crowd funding campaign - but they still need the go ahead from Warner Bros. Though preliminary research has already begun (the doc's Twitter account has even shared some concept art), unless they get the studio's permission to use the various costume designs, Bts stills and shots of the cast - which included the likes of Armie Hammer as Batman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, D.J. Cotrona as Superman,...

The release of this year’s Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t just re-spark interest in the long-dormant post-apocalyptic franchise, but in one of director George Miller’s failed past projects as well: The 2007 DC Comics adaptation Justice League Mortal.
With Fury Road‘s positive reviews came eulogies for the DC movie that could have been – and now Australian filmmaker Ryan Unicomb has taken it upon himself to make a documentary about the the failed production. Dubbed George Miller’s Justice League Mortal, the film will examine all aspects of the production, from interviews with the cast and crew to reveals of never-before-seen concept art and story details.
Purryburry Productions and Caldwell Entertainment are currently hard at work on prepping the film, and have released three new posters that tease the superhero team-up that could have been.

Well folks, after a rather long and brutal winter (at least for me here in Buffalo), we are finally heading into the wonderful warmth of summer, but with that blast of sunshine and steamy humidity comes the mid-year drought of major film fests. After the Sheffield Doc/Fest concludes on June 10th and AFI Docs wraps on June 21st, we likely won’t see any major influx in our charts until Locarno, Venice, Telluride and Tiff announce their line-ups in rapid succession. In the meantime, we can look forward to the intriguing onslaught of films making their debut in Sheffield, including Brian Hill’s intriguing examination of Sweden’s most notorious serial killer, The Confessions of Thomas Quick, and Sean McAllister’s film for which he himself was jailed in the process of making, A Syrian Love Story, the only two films world premiering in the festival’s main competition.

Director Ryan Unicomb is directing the documentary with Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell on board as producers. Here's what he had to say about it in an interview with If.com. “We wanted to get the story out there to help us to gauge interest. I have always been fascinated with project, which would be in the same vein as 2013’s Jodorowsky’s Dune and this year’s The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?, about a Superman movie that Tim Burton was to direct in the 1990s.” Hopefully we'll get a look at the designs for some of the other members of the team, which would have included Armie Hammer as Batman, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Adam Brody as The Flash and Common as Green Lantern.

George Miller's Justice League was one of the comic book movies that never was. A new documentary aims to chart what happened/
Whilst director Zack Snyder will be turning his attention to a pair of Justice League films for DC once he's done and dusted with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, another new movie project will be looking back at the Justice League film that never happened.
This was relatively recently too. Mad Max director George Miller had begun casting a Justice League film, and the plan was to shoot the movie in Australia. However, Warner Bros eventually pulled the plug on that particular project back in 2008, in the light of the success of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight films. A new documentary, from director Ryan Unicomb and producers Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell, wants to chart the story of what happened with the abandoned Justice League project.

If you’ve had a chance to see Jodorowsky’s Dune or are fascinated by the approaching The Death Of Superman Lives: What Happened? about Tim Burton’s attempt to bring the Man Of Steel to screens, you’ll likely be happy to learn that a new documentary team plan to chronicle George Miller’s scrapped plan to make a Justice League film. Director Ryan Unicomb and producers Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell have announced the project, which is working titled Miller’s Justice League Mortal. Originally announced back in 2007 aiming at a 2009 release, the film represented Warner Bros.’ last big push to build the DC Comics cinematic universe, with Miller recruiting the likes of Armie Hammer, Adam Brody, Common, Teresa Palmer and Megan Gale to star. But although the film got close to shooting, it had problems with the Us writers’ strike and faced budget issues. “We wanted to...

Following in the wake of such films as "Jodorowsky's Dune" and "The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?," a new feature-length documentary is in the works about "Justice League Mortal," the DC Comics adaptation that "Mad Max: Fury Road" helmer George Miller was slated to direct before the project fell apart back in 2008.
Short film director Ryan Unicomb is teaming with producers Aaron Cater and Steven Caldwell and Sydney-based writer/author Maria Lewis to develop the documentary which will reportedly be an unbiased account of the superhero ensemble project's gestation, development and ultimate disintegration.
Currently going by the working title of "Miller's Justice League Mortal," Unicomb is said to already have private investors lined up though he may augment that however with a crowd-funding campaign. The plan is to interview some of the cast and crew who would have been a part of the film along with showcasing some never-before-seen artwork and costumes.
