Documentary planned for George Miller's ill-fated superhero film

President of the jury for the 69th Cannes Film Festival George Miller will award the 2016 Palme d'Or on Sunday, May 22

The Australian director behind "Mad Max" and "Babe" abandoned plans for Justice League Mortal -- a film that would have bought Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman together on screen -- in 2008.

Now, seven years on and as hype surrounding "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" reaches a crescendo, fellow Australian director Ryan Unicomb has announced that he's working on a documentary about the film to understand what went wrong.

Speaking to Inside Film, Unicomb said that his project already had backing and would be an "unbiased account of the project's development, preproduction and cancellation, as well as the impact on the Australian film industry."
