George Miller's unrealized projects
The following is a list of unproduced George Miller projects in roughly chronological order. During a career that has spanned over 30 years, George Miller has worked on projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. A few of the projects were made after he left production.
1990s
Contact
- In 1993, Miller was hired to direct Contact based on the story by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan.[1] After working on the film for over a year, Warner Bros. and Miller mutually agreed to part ways and Robert Zemeckis was eventually brought on to direct.[2]
2000s
Justice League: Mortal
- 2007, Miller signed on to direct a Justice League film titled Justice League: Mortal.[3] While production was initially held up due to the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike,[4] further production delays and the success of The Dark Knight led to Warner Bros. deciding to put the film on hold and pursue different options.[5]
