Geroge Miller is a mad man and a bit of a genius. He is the creative force behind both Mad Max and Babe the talking pig. He was also almost the shepherd for a Justice League film that could have set the DCEU up for something pretty spectacular.
Miller’s latest film, Three Thousand Years of Madness will drop the full trailer on Friday, but we are getting our first teaser and it looks like exactly what we’d expect from him.
The new film is based on the A.S. Byatt’s short story, The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye, and stars Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. For his part, Miller describes the film as the Anti-Mad Max. Here’s what he told Deadline about the movie.
“When I say it’s the anti-Mad Max, I mean it only in the sense that it’s got way more dialogue than the very laconic Fury Road. Most of that was shot on location in the deserts of Southern Africa. This one was shot basically indoors, with only a couple of outdoor scenes. Its scale is smaller, at least in terms of its physical scale, even though, yes, it is set over 3,000 years. But also, Fury Road was a story that essentially happened over three days and two nights, and this happened over 3,000 years, so that’s what I meant by the anti-Mad Max.”
Dr. Alithea Binnie is an academic and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she encounters a Djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. Eventually, she makes a wish that surprises them both.
