Mad Max: Fury Road

[Thebumwhowalks]

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.

The audience who made the Road Warrior such a big hit in the states did not know the origin, they were mostly unaware that TRW was even a sequel. The producers didn't want them to know it was a sequel to a low budget film, hence why they changed the title of the film for US release.
They showed a very brief clip of the first movie as it opened, showing the origin, but it could easily have passed by the audeince's notice as being anything significant.
then, they had that brief allusion to it during one convo in the film(when he is arguing with the leader of the enclosure), that is all you really need to explian it.

Yeah TRW and MM seem very different from one another that they can both be stand alone films. But yeah TRW was a better film as it had better action then MM.

i guess we could get a montage of the origin in the beginnig credits

 

[Octoberist]

A montage would be ok. Treat Max like Bond I say.

I think it would be better if they brought it into the narrative, like that convo I referred to in TRW. You could have him in a similar vague convo alluding to what happened to him, and you could also have a scene reminiscent of Wolverine in X-Men2, where he has a nightmare about his origin, and show it in montage/flashback form that way, it being a dream, you could do interesting things with the way it was presented. Also, if the movie opens with most of the audience not knowing his origin, you have the whole 'mysterious stranger rides into town' vibe going on, reminiscent of the old westerns.

[Daniel Thompson]

Nice! Cannot wait until this film comes out.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Video doesn't play outside the US.

 

[Octoberist]

I forgot. It's MTV!

 

[E.NormusJohnson]

So how much more confirmation do we need that Charlize is the perfect woman?? Crikey. I will say that she sure knows how to pick her film roles.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

She sure will look super hot in a skimpy outfit in this film.

I hate it when that happens..

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Hope the movie is similar to TRW, That was the best MM film after all. But with more action and a villian with more lines and doing more badass stuff.

 

[Octoberist]

At this point, I just feel like The Road Warrior should be just called The Road Warrior and not Mad Max 2 (it's international title). I'm sure people not from the US calls it TRW anyway.

My father is a big Mad Max fan, in fact they are the ONLY films he can watch. Mad Max 2 is his favorite and he always calls it Mad Max 2, but he's French.

 

[Octoberist]

Interesting. I just think The Road Warrior is such clever title.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Well if Fury Road is anything like TWR this film will be worth the wait.

 

[Octoberist]

Let's hope. I think George Miller is a talent, but as an older man, his consistency has been..inconsistent.

 

[TX85]

Is this a reboot or a sequel??

 

[Roose Bolton]

A sequel is what I've heard.

 

[Octoberist]

It takes place after a few years after Thunderdome.

 

[obin_gam]

Does anyone know how the blu-ray disc is for Road Warrior? I have it on dvd but, a good movie like that (and with mel in it) I dont mind having two versions of :P But only if the quality upgrade is good enough.

 

[Octoberist]

I'm sure we'll get another, better Blu-ray version of Road Warrior. The problem is that the original Mad Max is owned by MGM/Sony, so that kinda sucks. No boxed set.

Well I hope he can still make good Mad Max films. Has a bad guy been casted yet for this film? Would love for Gerald Buter to play the main villan in this film or Ray Stevenson. They could be some barbaric leader/war lord. Also I heard in this new Mad Max series the bad guys are going from the punk rock style to the gladiator football like gear, is that true?
