DJINN & TONIC

@JORDANFARLEY

Good things come to those who wait. Even George Miller. The genial Australian director has spent over 20 years, on and off, getting his latest film, Three Thousand Years Of Longing, to the screens. He first read A.S. Byatt’s novella, The Djinn In The, in the late ‘90s, snapping up the film rights from the Booker Prize-winning author after paying her a visit. He then started noodling away on the script with daughter Augusta Gore, although other projects – and – took precedence.
