Check Out The First Trailer And Poster For ‘Milius’

Do you know of a filmmaker named John Milius? You must do? Milius is probably one of the greatest writers and directors of the late 20th century, responsible for such movies as DIRTY HARRY, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, APOCALYPSE NOW and the original RED DAWN. A brand new documentary based on Milius if about to debut at the SXSW festival over in the US, and we have the first trailer and poster from it.

Synopsis: The life story of one of the most influential and controversial film directors in the history of Hollywood, John Milius. From his childhood aspirations to join the military to his formative years at the USC Film School, his legendary work on films such as “Apocalypse Now”, “Jaws”, “Conan The Barbarian”, “Dirty Harry” and “Red Dawn” to his ultimate dismissal from Hollywood due to his radical beliefs and controversial behavior. The film includes in depth interviews with Milius himself and others such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Francis Ford Coppola, Harrison Ford, Michael Mann, Robert Zemeckis, Oliver Stone, Bryan Singer, Charlie Sheen, Matthew Weiner and more.

Referring to his Conan movie, and the film’s violence, Milius said: “It’s not that violent, although I was happy not to get an X rating. But if you said ‘Conan the Barbarian’ was rated PG, people would feel cheated. We weren’t making ‘Conan’s Divorce’, you know.”

Sounds like we need to get Milius directing the next DIE HARD movie.

MILIUS, the film, comes from co-directors Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson, and hopefully we’ll get to see it sooner rather than later, but it still has no release date set in the UK or US.

Check out the trailer below.
