October 8, 2015: George Miller Reveals His Approach to Superman

While he openly admits that he's not currently interested in taking on Superman or any other big budget film at this point in time, director George Miller (who was recently rumored to have been in line to direct a stand-alone Superman movie) tells IGN.com how he would approach Superman as a character and where things were at with his defunct "Justice League" movie.

Man of Steel Regarding the rumors of him taking on "Man of Steel 2":

    "I'll basically say no. Sorry again, not trying to be coy about it. You have so many things lined up. You just don't know which one's going to break [...] the next film I want to do won't be a Mad Max film. It'll be a small film. I just want to get away from big action films for a while. But I just can't help myself. I like to do things which are technically not challenging but technically interesting."

His thoughts on Superman:

    "I think it's been said many times before: he's potentially a very boring character because he has no faults," Miller told IGN. "So you really have to find his demons really to get an internal conflict going. You've really got to do that. Whether that's by an external agency or something deep inside himself. You need that conflicted character.

Where things were at with his "Justice League" movie:

    "And in terms of what we would've done, clearly we weren't going to fly Superman and Wonder Woman on wires," Miller told IGN. "They were going to be C.G., but again you're working your butt off to make it not look like C.G.. Ken Ralston - who's a great, great visual effects artist - was going to be doing a lot of that. The WETA stuff at that point was mainly in the practical costumes and the effects."
