When the current generation thinks of George Miller, they may have images of Happy Feet or Babe: Pig in the City come to mind, but let’s not forget that this is the same guy who gave us the Mad Max trilogy. So the natural question that arises is just how he’ll interpret the heroes of Justice League. The answer may come in an interview the director gave to journalist Fred Topol at Cinema Blend.
“I think it’s all driven by story,” he explained, referring to his films. “The thing that gets me hooked on any project is story, and this [Happy Feet] was a good story. At the time we were doing this, we were also preparing to do the fourth Mad Max movie. Maybe I’m a little kind of dissonance in my brain, but I don’t see a lot of difference between those two films, really. I’m trying to tell good stories. The fact is, it doesn’t really matter what medium there is…. I don’t make many films. Lorenzo’s Oil or the Babe films or Mad Max or indeed Happy Feet, I think probably they have two things in common. One is very conscious, which is to tell the best story you can, and the second one I guess really, without understanding why, is that I like telling stories that basically follow the hero myth. It just happens unconsciously."
