Fury Road has "138 cars and bikes and 298 stunts!"

Fury Road has "138 cars and bikes and 298 stunts!"

Can't wait! The chase sequence at the end of The Road Warrior is one of the best ever.

 

[matrix_ghost]

It would be nice to see some old fashioned real car chase with no computer trickery as well as no shakey cam.
It's been years since i watched Road Warrior but i did love the car chase at the end.

Edit: The video doesn't load for me, but these are suppose to be a couple of screen grabs from a video on the new Mad Max museum in Silverton. The pics show what appear to be some pre-production work that's currently being done up there for the new movie.

Someone upped the video to Youtube. Check the 4:20 mark.

I'm surprised more are not making a stink about Hardys bisexuality like they did with Craigs.

Craigs?

I suspect the closer we get to Mad Max releasing, it will become a topic of discussion. Especially since Mad Max was the mantle once held by (now, quite Mad) Mel Gibson...I think his quote will be thrown out so often, Hardy will probably be sick of the repeated questions based on it.

I do think Mad Max will be a big deal when it's released, so that'll probably fuel the talks about it.

The look shouldn't be too different. The bondage-type stuff should go, because it'll be way too funny. Mad Max's outfit better go relatively untouched, though...

I just want to see Hardy as Max and I'm good. But that won't be for a while. So will he have the Gibson hair from the previous films or his own?

I'm hoping for The Road Warrior look. Spiky hair, with the white streak. And heavy stubble. I don't really think Max's look needs to be changed much, if at all. No real need to. I'm kinda hoping he even has another loyal dog, too.

Details on Charlize Theron's Character in Mad Max

Source: Chris
October 5, 2010


Aussie's ABC (via Moviehole) reports that 22-year-old Gold Coast freestyler will be a stunt double for Charlize Theron's character in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road. Here are several excerpts from the article:

In December last year, the producers of the yet-to-be-completed film were looking for an athletic, blonde woman with half an arm to be the stunt double for one of Hollywood's most glamorous women.

It was a perfect match for Williams, whose left arm ends just below the elbow.

In the film, Theron's character will have part of one arm missing. Williams will fill in for the Academy Award-winner during a fight scene.

"They are going to film me from a very long distance for the fighting so that they don't have to CGI out her arm.

"I will be her, but just not [in] the face."

Mad Max: Fury Road also stars Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Adelaide Clemens and Riley Keough.

SCOOP: Mad Max Story Number Two – Noel Clarke On The Fury Road

Submitted by Brendon Connelly on October 5, 2010 – 3:46 pm (1) comments


I’ve checked this out with a couple of sources now, and they agree: Mad Max director George Miller has put Noel Clarke in line for a trip down his Fury Road.

The 3D Mad Max sequels – there’s going to be two, likely to be filmed less back-to-back, more higgled-and-piggled-up – will be finally going into production next year. All things being well, Noel Clarke will be along for the ride.

Clarke, if you don’t know him, came to mainstream popularity in the UK after playing a sidekick role on Doctor Who then became a multi-hyphenate one man brand on the British film scene. Just this week, Bleeding Cool spoke to him about his recent exploitation picture 4.3.2.1 and his upcoming comic book project.

The rest of the Fury Road cast include:

• Tom Hardy as Max
• Charlize Theron (and Annabelle Williams) as Furiosa*
• Zoe Kravitz as Five Wives or as one of five wives
• Adelaide Clemens as, perhaps, one of five wives
• Nicholas Hoult as… someone?

After being linked to the project for some time, Teresa Palmer never finally signed on. It looks like slipping and sliding schedules were to blame. And Riley Keough may have signed on by now, but she hadn’t, quite, the last time this was a buzz topic.

What will Clarke do in the movie? No idea. If you do, please let us know.

*According to reports. I don’t think the name is officially confirmed, yet.

well you never know with these method actors,

Hardy may have done some gay roles and the method acting may have continued off set.

Daniel Day Lewis did a gay role too in the early 80s, he went all out method for that. Didn't get him an Oscar though.

Handsome Bob FTW.

I'm not a fan of Mad Max but I'll be checking this out because Hardy is in it.

 

[King K]

Really excited for this movie due to Hardy.

All this movie needs is some Zoe Bell. She's from New Zealand I think. She could have done some great stunt work like she did in Death Proof.

Despite what Bleeding Cools "couple of sources" may have told them, Noel Clarke says he ain't in Fury Road.

Fury Road delayed yet again. Filming won't start until Feb 2012 at the earliest.

[dark_b]

i am reading it and i dont get it.

why is it delayed?

 

[Metallo]

Man that annoys me. I was just starting to get interested in this movie again and it keeps getting delayed and every time that happens my interest drifts off.

 

[redhawk23]

not filming until 2012? for cereal? consider this off of my radar for a while, but hey opens up a greater possibility of Hardy being available for any possible roles in the batman sequel. but still...

Also I totally forgot that Australian seasons are the opposite of ours for a second.

 

[biolumen]

Reason for the latest delay is the same as the first delay. The area is still too lush and green, and likely will be come next February.

Poor George Miller. All that prep work on another movie that he just can't get made.

 

[biolumen]

According to Miller,

* The movie will "definitely" still be made
* Filming will likely begin a year from new (Sept-Oct, 2011)
* Warner Bros. is still "very, very committed to the film"
* The reasons for the delay have nothing to do with the financials of the project
* Hugh Keays-Byrne has been cast in it. This is the actor that played the villain 'Toecutter' in the first film, and was also cast as Martian Manhunter in Miller's shelved 'Justice League: Mortal'.

[dark_b]

Miller also said that JL will be made.

the question is if Theron and Hardy will do the movie in 2011 or 2012. those actors have other movies to do. they are not infront of the TV waiting for Miller.

 

[echostation]

JL will not get made... there's no way

 

[dark_b]

i meant that Miller was talking for months how JL will be made when everyone knew that it was not goin g to happen.


look i am not saying that they should use greenscreen. i agree with everyone that they should use a real location. but is there really only one location to make this movie? this is just BS

 

[Octoberist]

Greenscreen isn't there yet when it feels organic.

 

[biolumen]

Word is that the real reason Fury Road is delayed is because Warner Bros thinks the poor performance of Zack Snyder's 'Guradians' pic is partly due to the fact that he split his attention between it and Suckerpunch. Thus, WB doesn't want Miller to make Fury Road until Happy Feet 2 is in the can.

George Miller: facing off with Elmer Fudd
by: David Tiley

Screen Hub
Wednesday 13 October, 2010

George Miller is waxing lyrical about the desert blooms around Broken Hill to explain the delays on Mad Max 4, in his totally exclusive one off nobody else gets close interview with Gary Maddox. But what if there is more to the story than some impudent vegetation?

The cafe gossip around Sydney is pretty clear. Warners want Miller to finish Happy Feet before going into pre-production on Mad Max 4, in order to keep him focused on the one production. Darker voices, fuelled by triple shots, claim that Warners believes Legend of the Guardians suffered from an absentee director, and don't want to repeat the experience.

In tough times, Warners may be nervous about the budget too, though they will want to squeeze it just as a matter of principle. They already carry significant costs - the pic has been developed and frozen twice before, and those outgoings will still be on the ledger. Besides, a lot of work has already been done on the film - cars, for instance, are built and in storage. We've been told that the budget Fox concocted reached $240m before they folded their tents and crept away.

The budget can cut two ways. If Miller makes a masterpiece out of Happy Feet 2, the Warner Fudds will have to wear more of his dream budget. And if Jackson can get $500m or so for two films from a slim book about short, hairy people chased by a large spider, then Miller should be able to fund his homage to the real god of human affairs - the car.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Kennedy Miller is up against La Niña, which is pushing rain across Eastern Australia and away from the parched coasts of Peru. A spokesperson for BOM confirmed that the presence of grass depends both on the amount of rain, and the average temperature which browns it off as it dies. He agreed that it is entirely possible that the rain will continue at least until March, and that western NSW will have very few hot days during that period.

While this is not good news for Film Broken Hill, it is also unpleasant for the Queensland industry. Already sodden and axle deep in mud, it expects another burst through the rest of the week, and then stay wet across the summer.

Is it true that Kennedy Miller has prudently decided the weather is against a summer shoot in Broken Hill? Is that all the story?

The triple shot money is still on Miller being the wascally wabbit up against the Elmer Fudds at Warners, who have no faith in his ability to multi-task.

kinda makes sense.
