New Mad Max film????? -= Now with spoilers =-

Wow Tom Hardy as Mad Max 😯 oooh wonder how this will pan out.

Anybody got any more info.

Saw the trailer yesterday and read a bit about it, apparently Gibson was approached but outright turned down the role, half way through filming changed his mind but obviously too late. I think Hardy should do it justice.

as with most remakes/sequels/prequels, I want it to be good but I don’t think it will be.

looks like the return of Bane

EDIT: Doh! too slow.

Looks very Mad Max 2, though in hi-def

George Miller has been trying to do a fourth for over 20 years now, finally got one going which seems to be another story between 1 and 2. Least the original director is behind it and with a big budget a mix of real time and CGI effects it may prove to be a good old fashioned action film or it might just fall on it’s arse.

Looks ace. I hope it is as good as the trailer predicts.

Read about it on Wikipedia. Apparently they were filming it near Broken Hill, NSW, where some of the previous films were made, but had to relocate to Namibia due to torrential rain causing an eruption of wild flowers, making the desert look far too pretty!

The buzz from Comic Con is very positive, apparently the film is essentially one long chase (again) and the scale of some of the set pieces is a lot larger.

It’s been on my radar for a while, Miller is being given the time (principal photography finished about two years ago) and money to do what he wants.

I know it’s only a trailer, but am I the only one that thinks that that looks like glossy shit in comparison to
these two?

With an additional 25 years of film-making technology, you’d hope it would be produced to modern standards…

And with another 10 years on top of that even more so. 😀

Damn.. now this I am looking forward to. I remember my dad sitting me down to watch this and Terminator when I was about 15/16 – proper film education 🙂

I agree with Vinnyeh.

The 3rd movie was over produced balls and this looks no better.

Waterworld anyone?

It’s actually a documentary on Australian drivers… 🙂

3rd went for the bizarre theatrical theme, this is back to the raw of car chases and explosions. But yes it could be a disaster.

I like the look of it. I hope it’s as brainless as it looks

And with another 10 years on top of that even more so

Doh!
Maths hey, over-rated….

I prefer age denial.

Looking at that trailer it looks to me like Mad Max 2.5, what happened in between…

“Contolini wants his hand back”

*cough* ^^

I thought it was supposed to be between 1 & 2. But in the trailer it looks like the Interceptor gets written off, and he still has it in 2?

Can’t wait, although could be the death knell for tom hardys career, meaning he’ll be doing massive blockbuster from now on…

Hmmm! Can’t recall now I thin you’re right now you mention it. Not seen them for ages but I bet they’re on TV soon now the trailer for 3 has been announced.

Yeah, well, considering you can shoot an HD movie with a DSLR and edit on a laptop these days, which will give results at least as good as the first MM movie, while the new one will probably be shot in 4k on RED cameras, I’d bloody well hope it looks glossier, otherwise all that tech is really going to waste!
Or should they have shot it all on Super 8?

“Ain’t nobody beat the snake before, who are you?”

“If it’s all the same to you I’ll drive that tanker…”

“And how do you plan to do that? Look at yourself. You couldn’t drive a wheelchair.”

I think it should be good, looks styled similarly to the first 2. The shame is the leading ladies, Charlize Theron and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Charlize maybe, but Rosie is only in it for the pouts across the desert. I would have picked Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Official trailer now out:

Looks alright to me.

Shit! That in iMAx with D-Box has to be worth it. 😯

As it went on the crashes/explosions got a bit too mad for me- carnado! I love mad max 2 but it had a brilliant real world solid thump to it and this one, not so much, it’s a bit too fast and furious, everything seems to be made of CGI and dynamite.

But still, excited. Tom Hardy could be just the man.

Didn’t need doing IMHO but might be OK as it seems close to the feel of the 2nd one which was the best by miles. Frankly 1 is really dated and a bit dull and 3 was a joke.

A fella, a quick fella, might have a weapon under there. I’d have to pin his head to the panel…

Shame he’s not in it.

Some films should be left alone – looks like a film version of the game RAGE

It’s a shame they’ve fallen into the trap of using loads of CGI and way ott action.
The great thing about Mad Max films was the real driving and crazy stunts!

I don’t mind CGI being used to create things that don’t exist, but it’s unconvincing as an easy way to do big action scenes.

Is that RAGE the Mad Max inspired game?

that’s me sold then

With the amount of money they are spending It looks like they are trying to create an entirely new action movie franchise. I’d say they are trying to develop an individual look to differentiate it.

Mad Max was such a hugely influential film in terms of post apocalypse/future dystopian look and it’s action sequences that it’s been rehashed a thousand times over. I don’t like cgi in car stunts particularly but at least this looks visually strong and distinct. Hopefully they can use it to supplement physical stunts, not replace them. The vast majority of the trailer looks to be using physical effects, with only the last few seconds (presumably from a big set piece) being cgi heavy.

Most of the time big CGI set pieces look so fake that they’re just boring to watch no matter how spectacular they’re supposed to be – and what’s the point in a boring action film?
