Though the next installment in the Mad Max series won’t include Mel Gibson, it will include one of the original players in the legendary film’s history.
Mad Max 4
George Miller is back in the Director/Writer chair for the upcoming Mad Max movie, Fury Road. Fury Road will be shot in Sydney and New South Wales next year, with a budget in the region of $100 million.
The plot isn’t official, nor are the stars, just rumors. You already know the plot though, a lack of petroleum and the power to regain control of it.
Why you care
You probably are as skeptical about another Mad Max film, so are we, but rumor is Charlize Theron is being courted by Miller as the leading female.
Fury Road Release Date
Mad Max 4 hits theaters Summer 2011
Who’s In It?
Charlize Theron, Sam Worthington, Teresa Palmer!!!! Nicholas Hoult was just announced as joining the cast. (Hoult was fantastic in Kidulthood and is in the upcoming Clash Of The Titans movie).
Teresa Palmer is joining the cast of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road. Jay Baruchel was just recently quoted as saying :
“She gets to work with him, and she’s (going to be) doing ‘Mad Max 4′ with Miller,” Baruchel said, adding, “She’s the main chick in ‘Fury Road’. She’s going to be there for over a year. It’s really, really cool.”
Mad Max : Fury Road Pictures
We are so pleased to hear Teresa Palmer is in the upcoming Mad Max remake!
What’s Good About It?
The ‘Mad Max’ franchise was one of the best in its day, with wonderful action and a great storyline. Director George Miller is planning to take as long as a year to build the badass vehicles. This means Mad Max 4 just isn’t being thrown together, they are going to knock this thing out of the park.
What’s Bad About It?
Toutlecine is reporting that Mad Max Fury Road will be half CG animation. Are they willing to kill a movie by doing this?
Toutlecine is reporting that George Miller’s film, currently in production, will be 3-D and will blend CG animation with live action. I’m going to be so upset if this is true. Imagine killing a franchise by making Fury Road resemble Sin City? Imagine losing the entire feel of every Mad Max film if this rumor is true?
Uninteresting Factoid
Remember the ‘Ferel Kid’ in the 1981 Mad Max movie? That little shit with the boomerang? That kid is 37 years old now. That’s how old you got since Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and Fury Road (2011).
Feel old now?
Our Clever Prediction
They hype will be terrific, lets see who signs on to star in the film before making a prediction.

I really think a prequel would do the job. The storyline based on the emerging anarchy and the formatin of the MFP. Maybe MAX and Goose as rookies. Just a thought.
