Milius is a 2013 documentary film about the writer, producer, director John Milius.

According to co director Joey Figuero:

Usually a lot of people will do a biog documentary and they don't have their subject fully on board. We had John Milius on board from the get-go. And we were like, 'Wow! This man can speak. And this is going to be amazing, because he's so vocal and has like zero filter and he's just going to say all this shit that's going to be awesome'. And, obviously, if you've seen the film, you know what happens, so that changed the entire dynamic of how this documentary got made. Originally Milius was going to be our driving force in this picture and that totally got derailed. And we had to find this voice now, because we have to hear him speak, obviously. That's what made it a bit more difficult.
