Mad Max: Fury Road
How come no one talks about the upcoming next episode of the road warrior´s saga??
Max Rockatanski will be back and no one gives a damn. Damn! |
Patience… ;) Mad Max is a favorite but I haven’t heard too much about 4 yet… anybody else?
|
Mad Max IV:Fury Road is its full name
THats about it |
Same here. I only know the title. It is one of my all time favorite series' though. I heard some rumours that Mel dies at the very first of the movie...and that the rest is told as if the Feral Kid was the new Max. I'm not so sure though....

Max Rockatanski will be back and no one gives a damn. Damn! Here’s some interesting news from the outback. It seems Mel Gibson’s production company Icon Entertainment will be producing Mad Max 4: Fury Road. Moviehole that is based in Australia is claiming this might mean we will see Mel Gibson make an appearance in the movie. Gibson told The Herald Sun about Mad Max: "Not with me, I don't think, man, I'm a bit old and long in the tooth for that number. You need somebody who can get around a bit quicker." Mad Max4: Fury Road with star Tom Hardy (Bronson) and Charlize Theron.So far they are the only stars they have been attached to the movie. The projected budget for the movie is $100n million. In an earlier post it was reported that Mad Max: 4 will start right after the last movie Mad Max: Thunderdome. I’m a huge fan of this series and think for Gibson not to at least make an appearance in the movie would be a HUGE mistake. I wish there was more I could tell you about the movie, but there just is that much info out there yet. Hopefully now that Icon is on board more will come out about the plot of the movie. |
Re: Mad Max 4
Mad Max 4 needs to happen no matter what. I would pefer the movie instead of a cartoon. Even if Mel can’t play Max get somebody else who will Russel Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey, etc… The movie is more important than whoever plays in it.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
How about starring someone new . I don't really want to see crowe, Downey, or Jackman play max.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
tom hardy was on a Talk show last night and was talking about this hes in process of making this now.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I wouldn't mind him.. Also Sam Worthington was in the talks..
I am fine with both of them.... As long as the movie is written well and not a remake. |
Re: Mad Max 4
he got asked if mel gibson would make a appearence but he just laughed.

tom hardy talks about mad max around 2 mins 10

These kind of threads just make me feel OLD! :mad:
I loved the Max films and I loved Mel as Max and to think he's too old now, that's just sad. :( 'Course Mel did actually go mad. He is so lying in that clip about whether Mel is in it or not. Mel would have to be in it a bit. I don't know this Hardy guy at all and I'm not too fond of his hair! He'd have to change that hair. |
If Mel will be in the movie, then why would he have a bit role.. If he is in it, he should be Max.. He is not as old as Harrison Ford was to play Indiana Jones or Arnold in T3.
I think Mel can still play Max.. but I doubt he'd be interested anymore, since he is busy with his new Viking movie.. & I hope this is not true-

Only Max Rocktansky should be Mad Max. And about Tom Hardy, he was in Bronson, Star Trek: Nemesis (Picard's evil clone), Rock'nRolla. He is a good actor and he keeps changing hairstyles & his physical structure..... He was really bulked up for Bronson and slim in Rock'nRolla |
I think this guy (Johathan Rhys Meyers) physically looks like a good Max candidate.

Abit of News, Mad Max has a start Date.
George Miller’s Mad Max follow-up Fury Road has had a bit of a storied history. The film was originally set to start production in August 2010 with stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, but after massive sets had been built and intense pre-production work was underway, torrential rains flooded the austalian desert that was set to be the film’s backdrop for the duration of the shoot.
Flash forward to this past March, when Miller gave an update on the project saying that they would restart pre-production later this year and commence filming early next year, with the film fully funded and ready to go. Now we have a solid start date, as Hardy revealed to Steve at today’s Warrior press day that the film will begin production next April. He said: “we’re going to have to find somewhere else to shoot it, but it looks like it’s going in April.”Hit the jump for more on Mad Max: Fury Road. While Hardy wasn’t exactly a huge star when he was first cast in Fury Road, it’s safe to say that he’s going to be a ginormous draw for audiences when the film eventually hits thearters. Warrior is picking up some great buzz, and he’s currently filming his role as Bane in Christopher Nolan’s indie drama The Dark Knight Rises. On the Fury Road front, all seems to be going according to plan. Miller went ahead and made Happy Feet 2 following the delay in production, and last we heard Theron was still attached to the project. Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) and Riley Kileough, who was just cast in Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike, were also said to be starring in the film, but their current status is unknown at this point. Fury Road will be a relaunch of the Mad Max franchise that rocketed Mel Gibson to stardom in 1979. The story takes place in a dystopian future, and Miller has been hard at work designing new vehicles and such for the update. |
Miller Working On New "Mad Max" Trilogy?
November 30th 2011 http://www.darkhorizons.com/assets/0...jpg?1322683874 Get ready for three times the Hardy. Filmmaker George Miller has revealed that the upcoming "Mad Max: Fury Road" could be followed by not one but two possible sequels. Miller tells the Australian Financial Review that "We started with [Fury Road], but we then started to do a second story and a third. We've written the script for the second and almost finished the third. We never intended to, [but] they were part of the exploration of the characters." Tom Hardy will step into the shoes of post-apocalyptic drifter Max Rockatansky made famous by Mel Gibson. Shooting on the new 'Max' is now expected to take place in Namibia in April. |

Re: Mad Max 4
This is wrong, on so many levels!

Re: Mad Max 4
I hope they keep the creepiness of the original. I liked Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior better than the first but the atmosphere showed in Mad Max. The characters were weird and it appeared you couldn't get an ice cream cone without being hunted down by a group of odd-speaking criminal-looking individuals. Max was a hero, one of the only to do the right thing and actually help those in need, like his wife. But then we see an elderly lady even doing the same thing, and we don't expect her to grab a gun but she does. Max then truly goes vigilante by the end if he wasn't already and blows the whole concept of good and evil out of the water leaving us with a combination of the two, something we rarely see today. The sequel just had an overly worn plot, but the return of Gibson and, to put it bluntly, simply doing the right thing and helping others in a world where that doesn't seem likely, does more than expected for the whole movie. There's also a ton of more action than the original which definitely doesn't hurt. I guess they show doing the right thing is always the best thing, no matter who you are. I haven't seen the third film so I can't speak for it, but I hope this new film will also have a solid message delivered in a dark way.

Re: Mad Max 4
Still in post-production? No release date yet for Mad Max: Fury Road?
George Miller is keeping this one close to his chest...slightly ambiguous plot synopsis, a video or two of the vehicles during production, and a hazy photo of Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky. It feels as though I have been waiting an eternity for this Mad Max reboot; eager anticipation was further boosted when it was announced that Tom Hardy would be taking over the plum role of Max--whilst admittedly he is wonderful eye candy it doesn't stop there...the man can act his ass off. The Mad Max franchise and Tom Hardy. :D |
Re: Mad Max 4

Re: Mad Max 4
Gutted its been knocked back to 2015...bit concerned it will get lost in mix in 2015 given how many big movies are out.
Hardy looks ace as max though, perfect casting. |
Re: Mad Max 4
Holy Crap this thread is almost 10 years old, luckily only one more year to wait.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/?ref_=nv_sr_2 It says it's in Post Production, does it really take that long to get from their to the theater. |
Mad Max: Fury Road
Tom Hardy is taking up the role as Mad Max from Mel Gibson in what is to be a new trilogy...
... released today are images of Hardy in costume on set and a few vehicles too. http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/new-loo...max-fury-road/ http://www.syfantasy.fr/images/galer...road_large.jpg Co-stars are Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult (Beast in X-Men First Class), Zoe Kravitz (also starred in X-Men First Class as Angel) and new actor Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley whose only other acting credit is Transformers Dark Of The Moon playing Megan Fox's replacement. Directed by George Miller (Mad Max, Mad Max 2, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Dead Calm, Lorenzo's Oil, Happy Feet). Release date for the film is May 15 2015. |
Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
I said in another thread, can't remember which one but might have been my reviews after I did Lawless, that Tom Hardy deserves more leading roles.
He did Bronson and was immense in it. Lawless, Trek Nemesis, Warrior, Bronson, TDKR and Inception amongst others, I don't think I've ever seen him mess up a role regardless of how bad the film was or wasn't in general. As Max Rockatansky though, I think he'll be awesome and with Miller back behind the camera like he was with the original trilogy, we might be looking at a reboot that rivals the originals. Looking forward to this one. |
Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
This was exciting to me, but not so much now after seeing pictures of Tom Hardy as Max.
I would rather see a sequel starring an older Mel Gibson as Max. He's only 58 years old. He could still play Mad Max. Throw in another younger actor like Tom Hardy to join him, sure, but don't have someone else playing his character. Apparently Mel might have a cameo in this -- maybe even as an older version of himself, I've heard -- but still. I'd rather see Mel Gibson in the whole movie. |
Re: Mad Max 4
|
Re: Mad Max 4
It appears this is going to be a continuation of the Mad Max story eh? I love Tom Hardy. Tom Hardy's performance in Bronson was easily as good as DeNiro's in Raging Bull. Yeah, it was that good. Go watch it and see. I'd happily watch three Mad Max films with him as the lead.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I've heard two different things -- one was that this story picks up immediately after Thunderdome. Another thing I heard was that this was actually a prequel to The Road Warrior.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I thought Mad Max was the prequel to The Road Warrior. :D

Re: Mad Max 4
The new screen shots look good. Charlize Theron with a mechanical arm?!
This is #1 on my list for next year, not Avengers, not anything else. BTW can we get a title change? I had a hard time finding this thread. It didn't show up in my searches, only when I found a link someone else had posted. |

Never seen these movies but the trailer for the new one came out today and it is quite good.

Re: Mad Max 4
Mad Max is one of the few film series where I've felt the sequels were superior to the original.
This one looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun. |
Re: Mad Max 4
^ This. Enjoyed that trailer and even more excited for the film now.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I was very worried about this project at first. Now it has my attention.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I'm not sure there are many more beautiful trailers than that. It's visual poetry. Add to it the fact that it's still George Miller making this one and I'm losing my mind with anticipation.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I don't care how many dozens of superhero movies they announce, this is freaking ridiculous! I need to see this now!
If I could see this and Ep. 7 tomorrow, I'd stop watching movies on Friday. Yay for hyperbole! |

Not really impressed by that trailer. Looks gimmicky and doesn't really look like it's bringing anything new to the table. Just a reboot that will rehash The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome with a special effects spectacle for today's audiences.

EDIT: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, despite being disliked by many, is one of those movies my wife hates to watch with me because I cannot help but quote along through the whole thing. |

The Mad Max sequels are better than the original movie. But this new movie... of course it's only a trailer, and I feel a little excited about it... but... I'm skeptical. Tom Hardy looks like a good replacement, though I'm not entirely sure. I did not like the fact that Charlize Theron spoke more in the trailer than him, for starters. He should have said his name after she asked him what it was -- at least in the trailer, not necessarily in the movie. Annnnnddddd... the rest is too special effectsy for me and it just looks like more of the same. Not excited about "The Water Wars" or whatever's going on. Oh, their oil supply is limited? What's new? And Charlize Theron sucks with her bald head. And I already miss Mel Gibson. |

I really like the ending of the first Mad Max movie... now I wanna rewatch it.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
The trailer is one of the best I've seen in a long time... love the use of Verdi's Requiem.
Just wondering, is the movie going to be PG-13? Because if it is, I may not watch it, even though the trailer got me really excited for it. |

Oooh, I might just pay for a ticket to see this...
|
Re: Mad Max 4
Damn that looks crazy. The trailer actually looked quite terrifying. Can't wait.
|
Hardy looks the part and this trailer is promising, if a little on the busy side. Let's hope Miller has retained some of the atmosphere that made the first two films so great. I'll be seeing it regardless though. :)
|
Re: Mad Max 4
Dang, that new trailer looks totally balls-to-the-wall! I'm very jazzed about this and in fact, I'm already there! :)

Re: Mad Max 4
It's only weeks away

Re: Mad Max 4
No CGI in sight, what a refreshing change.

Re: Mad Max 4
There was a 6 minute trailer attached to Fast And Furious 7 last night and it looked so damn crazy. Can't wait to see this.

Couple that with the fact that the BvS trailer will drop with it "allegedly". If proven, I will wait to bask in it in the theatre. |
Re: Mad Max 4
How awesome does this film look = moterf*ckingly f*cking awesome!
Man, this movie better not disappoint! My expectations are sky high and I can't help it! |
Re: Mad Max 4
Caught the trailer for this the other day and I gotta say, it looks pretty damn entertaining.

I could've watched this today, but one of my collegues beat me to the press screening. :(
But you can be damn sure I will go see it as soon as possible! I can't wait for this! |
Re: Mad Max 4
MUST SEE THIS!
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I tried to read a review today, but they were giving too many deets for my taste. 9.2/10
Interesting to read that Hardy is being described as secondary character. Then again, he was great in that other movie with a mask. |
Critics are going crazy over this so far. It's got a 9.0 on Rotten Tomatoes out of 40 reviews which is unusually high.
|
Re: Mad Max 4
I'm counting on this pepping me up after the Avengers letdown. I was getting skeptical, because it appears to be the same scene (cars/ pyro) on repeat. Good to see it is receiving such universal praise.
|

Just for the record - is this actually "Mad Max 4" or is it a reboot?

It's a sequel, in the sense that Miller didn't want to tell the same story over again, and since it originates from the original screenplay for a fourth film, written a little time after Beyond Thunderdome. But you could also call it a reboot, since it is mostly just a continuation and expansion of the universe, not really having a connection to the previous films. Anyways, I'll see it friday, guess I'll know for sure how it plays out! :p |
Re: Mad Max 4
Does it really matter if it's a sequel or a reboot? Do people actually watch Mad Max movies for the story?
I watch them for violence, explosions and, most of all, crazy ass costumes and general insanity. |
Re: Mad Max 4
I am so excited to see this! Max is back!

Re: Mad Max 4

Re: Mad Max 4
^ Yep, finding all that rather hilarious.
