Last we head, a big screen adaptation of Justice League might not be as dead as we first believed. /Film reader Alex Litel stumbled across the website for Dr. D Studios, a Australian-based “digital media company” formed by Omnilab Media Group and filmmaker George Miller. The website not only lists Happy Feet 2 as being “In Production” and Babe 3, Fury Road and Justice League of America being in “Pre-Production”. The company is actually at the Siggraph conference this week “actively hiring” for “several large scale film projects with a growing team of top talent from Australia and beyond.” The following quote also appears in a press release for the company’s Siggraph booth:

“We are currently working on Happy Feet 2, with several other film projects to follow and we are actively hiring,” states a press release.

Also, hidden in a press release from May is the following: “Omnilab Media has also created a new digital film company with Kennedy Miller Mitchell to use groundbreaking digital storytelling, animation and visual effects. This will include HAPPY FEET 2, BABE 3 & MAD MAX 4 and a range of other blue-chip properties in development.” That’s right, Mad Max 4! Alex also discovered the resume of Ken Steel, who is currently working as a lead animator for Miller’s company:

“Responsibilities include, working as part of a small creative team designed to aid George Miller in defining a creative direction for current and future productions such as Justice League of America, Happy Feet 2, Babe 3, and Mad Max 4.”

From all of the information gathered from a few google searches, it appears that Happy Feet 2 is a definite, and Miller is exploring sequels from some of his other franchises. One must wonder how far along in development Mad Max 4 or Babe 3 might be. And Justice League… I don’t want to wonder.

  • NO...please...No.... no more Happy Feet! And Mad Max 4? This can't be good either.

    If Mad Max 4 is a remake then it might be good, buteverythimg else is not even going to be worth trying to figure if they get made that they might go into striaight to DVD really
  • blah.

    I thought all the penguins died of global warming in the first happy feet.
  • Buckley
    Wow. This is pretty sick.

    And for Justice League. Its not that i dont want to see it. It's way too soon. I would start to put it into Production in 2015 after they knocked out every persons movie like flash and the rest, they did hulk. so just wait for everyone else then do the movie.

    DONT FUCKING RUIN IT!!!!!!!!!!

    A bit surreal.

    If you have seen Babe: Pig in the City, you would know it would be sheer foolhardiness to discount Happy Feet 2 already; the creative involvement of George Miller means that both that and Babe 3 have the capacity to capture a bit of the dark psychedelic magic that made Pig in the City a cult classic. Not to mention that the first Happy Feet was utterly sublime, and the contrarians are just recklessly repining.

    I'm a bit divided on Justice League, though; I think that Miller can achieve his maximum creative efficacy in his own universes, not someone else's.

    mad max 4, if Mel Gibson is on board i'll definitely be looking fwd for it. Show us how a true apocalyptic on wheels should be done for todays generations. and maybe some kind of closure likes stallone done for Rocky Balboa (which i find quit entertaining) but hopefully not becoming Rambo - John Rambo.


    happy feet and babe..
    just an excuse to bring the kids and wife (audience who absolutely have no interest in brute reality fantasy other than for cuteness factor) to the movies.
  • Ben
    I just scanned the article and read the title as "Babe 3: Fury Road"... now that sounds great! Babe, now an adult porker, taking revenge for all the slaughtered brothers and sisters... yeah!

    Ok what i think about Justice league is that it may be in pre-production and all but i think they are going to wait and see is the avengers is going to suck or do well.....cuz it has like a bunch of super heroes there too and since they are planning on realesing the solo films before the actual avengers movie is like they want to make a path for it u know?!

    so i think dc really wants to do the justice league movie but they also dont want to be a huge failure......

    and they also are planning on realeasing some solo movie b4 it right?
    these rumors about making a green lanter movie just proves that! and wonder woman!

    what do u guys think?
  • gocitizen
    I swear, sometimes you guys post crappy sequel stuff just to be sarcastically irritating. It's like when I was a kid and my brother would buy Pepsi instead of Coke because he knew it would make me mad.
