EXCLUSIVE: George Miller has gotten his green light and a March production start in Australia on Three Thousand Years of Longing, with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton now locked to star. That Miller is making this film isn’t a surprise: independent distributors rarely get a shot at a big-ticket film from a commercially successful auteur like Miller as he was coming off his Best Picture-nominated Warner Bros blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road. FilmNation had a crowd eager to open their wallets for international rights when the script was shown to buyers at 2018’s AFM. CAA Media Finance is selling North American and Chinese distribution rights and FilmNation is finishing overseas sales, but Miller has the money he needs to make his movie.

“I’m not done with the Mad Max story,” he told Deadline, “and I think you have to be a multi-tasker and there’s certainly another #MadMax coming down the pike after this.” - #GeorgeMiller

That's freaking awesome news Nathan. Thanks for finding out. I hope the heck it may contain the water shortage, water for sale to the highest bidder, council and government corruption, climate change, and maybe even bushfires and a banking scandal. Just suggestions. I'm not writing the script for Dr Miller, as some of this stuff basically writes itself. Life imitates art, just as art imitates life. I prefer to see you play the hero Mr Jones, and perhaps Mr Miller can have you save Australia from the evil empire?! I met and did a 3 minute interview with George at the Happy Feet 2 red carpet at Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park, when Robin Williams was still alive. Both great gentleman and a credit to the human race. Public thank you for helping keep it real. I reckon the late Roddy Piper would be proud of you, and Mr Miller. I would love to know what John Carpenter thinks of the Mad Max franchise...maybe he may comment now that's it's written about in today's installment of the Real Aussie News! Keep spreading the news...
