Career
Al Gough and Miles Millar are prolific writers/producers. The action-adventure The Mummy: The Mummy's Tomb, the hit action-comedy Shanghai Noon, as well as its sequel Shanghai Knights, Spider-Man 2 directed by Sam Raimi, Lethal Weapon 4, and I Am Number Four have all been featured on their film credits. Hannah Montana: The Movie, which was based on the smash hit Disney Channel movie, was also produced. Millar Gough Ink, the duo's Walt Disney-based production firm, premiered the film.
Both Gough and Millar's work stretches far beyond television. The pair created and appeared as executive producers/showrunners on the critically acclaimed action-adventure series Smallville, which aired from 2001-2011. Smallville is the longest-running comic book-based series of all time, and it was the first show on the WB Television Network. Gough and Millar ended the show in 2008 after seven seasons, breaking the news of their retirement with an open letter sent to a Smallville fan site. In 2010, Gough and Millar filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the WB Television Network, alleging that the company had allowed Smallville to its co-owned WB and CW networks for excessively low rates, effectively leaving out of tens of millions of dollars. The case was finally settled in May 2013, just weeks before it was set to take place in June; the terms of the deal were not disclosed to the public.
The Shannara Chronicles, a MTV epic fantasy television series, was created by Gough and Millar in 2015. It's an extension of Terry Brooks' "The Sword of Shannara trilogy of fantasy books. It follows three heroes as they shield an ancient tree from being escaped by banished demons. The series was shot in the Auckland Film Studios and on location somewhere in New Zealand. Austin Butler, Ivana Baquero, and Manu Bennett appeared in the series. Jon Favreau, as well as Dan Farrah, was one of the executive producers. Jonathan Liebesman produced the pilot episode.
On January 5, 2016, The Shannara Chronicles' first season premiered on MTV in the United States, consisting of ten episodes. MTV originally greenlighted a second season in April 2016, but it was announced in May 2017 that the series would be moved to Spike (now Paraphrasedoutput). On October 11, 2017, the second season premiered on October 11, 2017 and ended on November 22, 2017. The series had been cancelled after two seasons, according to the producers, who were referring to other networks. The series was later considered to have ended, but it has since spawned a cult following on Netflix.
AMC Networks' Into the Badlands project started in June 2015. The martial arts drama was set in a post-apocalyptic America, where warring barons had personal arms of lethally trained warriors. The series was one of the few hour long dramas in American television history to have an Asian American (Daniel Wu) lead. The show was a ratings hit, but critics gave it a mixed reaction. Nick Frost joined the cast in season two and became a huge hit among the series's fans. Journey to the West, a classic Chinese text, was heavily based on the show's mythology. Each episode featured intricate martial arts combats conceived and produced by legendary Hong Kong combat choreographers Huen Chiu Ku (aka Master Dee Ku) and Andy Cheng. Daniel Wu, Marton Csokas, Emily Beecham, Aramis Knight, and Orla Brady appeared in the series. The first season was shot in New Orleans, but subsequent seasons were shot in and around Dublin, Ireland. Into The Badlands was released in 32 episodes but was cancelled due to a regime change at AMC Networks.
Gough and Millar sold a series based on the character of Wednesday Addams in October 2020. Gough and Millar produced the series, but Tim Burton joined the duo as an executive producer and directed the first four episodes. Burton's first foray into television is Wednesday, with actress Jenna Ortega playing in the title role.
