Mad Max: Fury Road

[Octoberist]

I wonder if Hardy is gonna grow out his hair longer or not, because currently his hair is similar to his do in 'THis Means War'.

 

[dark_b]

i think Hardy's hair in This means war didnt look good. he loosk the best with a little longer hair or full long hair.

Warrior hair was the best.

 

[biolumen]

The Gigahorse, supposedly the 'hero car' of the movie, has been sighted.

 

[Paroxysm]

That looks beast.

 

[dark_b]

so why didnt hey pick this location from start ? it looks good.

 

[Siby]

Wow, the vehicles in this movie are looking amazing!

 

[Rowsdower!]

I want me one of those.

 

[biolumen]

Guess it depends. Right now he has hair like Gibson had in the first film. Gibson had short hair in the first two films but long in the third.

Is this film a complete reboot or a very loose sequel where Max is already Max.

 

[Octoberist]

Is Charlize still in?

Mad Max IV producer receives heart surgery

Local movie industry sources, currently involved in preparations for the filming of Mad Max IV at various locations in the central coastal region, confirmed this week that the producer George Miller had to undergo a cardiac procedure in Australia recently.

Crew members consulted said the producer urgently needed the medical procedure for a defective heart valve, but insisted that Miller has made a good recovery and is expected in Namibia as early as next week. Whether the purpose of Miller’s arrival in Namibia is to start filming or whether it is a routine visit to check that preparations for casting later this year are up to standard remains unclear.

South African-born Hollywood sensation, Charlize Theron, will star in Mad Max IV and some coastal residents are hoping to catch a glimpse of her in the streets of Swakopmund or Walvis Bay soon.

i think they would be better off doing a complete reboot and origin story and starting the franchise over

 

[Octoberist]

No. The origins doesn't make Max that interesting. It's his drifter adventuring traveling about that makes him rad.

 

[dark_b]

a new origin? then they would have to change it. because i would be boring to me to watch the same movie again.

 

[Van Petrol]

^ You're avvy seems to sum up the general reaction to the proposition of an origin movie, dark b. t:

 

[Clu]

yeah. no need for a new origin. just say hes a drifter who pretty much doesnt care if he lives or dies and has a strong moral reasoning for staying around as he used to be a lawman.

max had long hair in thunderdome, but once he was sent out to die and was found his hair was cut. so long hair isnt needed.

i didnt mean a new origin but what about the new generation thats not fimilar with the story?i think its import to see what makes max tick like his wife and kid being brutely murdered.it could be rebooted and told in a defferent way without having connect to the gibson films.i dont see why they are doing a sequel to the gibson films when the last was over 20 years ago.its kida like why man of steel is doing the origin again because superman returns tried to be a sequel to the older films and failed.

Nah, its really nothing tell either. The first Mad Max is a boring movie (flamesuit on) so I'm glad this pays tribute t the series by expanding the mythology rather than rebooting it like every other series would have done.

Alot of the reboots nowadays would have been better to just been set in the same universe but just a couple of years onwards, instead of telling the same story over and over and over again.

When it comes to this one, everyone and their grandfathers now what Mad Maxi is about: a post apocalyptic world, followed by a silent anti hero with a badass leather suit, fighting thugs with modified american football-shoulder gear. Nothing more needs to be explained for the movie to be good I think

 

[Octoberist]

I liked some of the imagery and concepts of the first Mad Max, like how more 'green' it was despite being Post Apocalyptic. But I have to agree that the pacing was meandering. I liked it, but the Road Warrior destroys it with its raw energy.

Also, Max is the classic drifter. All we need to know, like what Obin said, is that he's a leather clad loner who fights bikers in the Aussie Wastelands. While I cherish wonderful character development, Mad Max is one of the rare expect ions because he's such a bad ass. That's all we need to know. Just like Snake Plissken.

We don't need to know everything about him especially in this day and age where everything has to be spelled out to people. If Indiana Jones didn't exist until now, Raiders of the Lost Ark would feature and over explain Indiana's backstory thus eliminating any mystery to the character.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Im really looking forward to Tom Hardy with an Australian accent.

 

[Octoberist]

That would be badass.

Well we got LC?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Anyone else sick of going to this thread, hoping for something new but instead all we still see are the goddamn vehicles?

 

[Clu]

little bit. I want some footage, some images of the cast together. something. the cars look great, but been seeing the cars and concept art for how long now? ages. we need something new.

Why don't they call him the director, writer, and producer... If I'd have to pick one of those, I'd pick the director, not the producer.
