In what will be music to studio execs’ ears, director George Miller has expressed with brutal honesty strong skepticism over the potential success of his “Happy Feet” sequel, which began filming yesterday in Sydney with Robin Williams, Elijah Wood and Hank Azaria.
“I have no confidence whatsoever, you just never know,” the director hilariously admits. “‘Happy Feet’ was successful I think because it seemed fresh. The sequel obviously can’t be.”
The original earned $384 million worldwide and an Oscar so you can understand his fears but surely the average family of parents and their 2.4 kids would eat this up.
Eat your heart out, Warner Brothers.
