A battle erupts on the road as they attempt to push the rig to saferterrain.”Still no solar car in the fourth Mad Max movie? What a shame! Mad Max and his friends are just postapocalypticbarbarians obsessed with oil…The film is directed by George Miller and is starring Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough,Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hugh Keays-Byrne, and Nathan Jones. There’s no official release dateyet, Mad Max 4 Fury Road should hit theatres sometime in 2014.They’re currently filming in the Namibian desert in Africa.With a budget of around $100 million this promises to be a big production. Director George Miller explainedthe reason the movie is so big, is that, “it’s just got a huge number of stunts, and we’re trying to dostuff that I believe people haven’t done before.”“[Mad Max Fury Road] is a relaunch and revisit to the world, an entire restructuring. That’s not to say thatit’s not picking up or leaving off from the Mad Max you know already, but it’s a nice re-take on the entireworld using the same character, depositing him in the same world, but bringing him up to date by 30 years.Obviously Mel would’ve been perfect for it but, for some reason, h’s not doing it and I am. You can expectthe same amount of grit and rawness and authenticity to my performance, I hope to deliver. But that’sreally the crux of me and George to deliver that and all the other actors as the other characters.”Actor Tom Hardy.Right: Actor Tom Hardy who plays Mad MaxPage 52 AUSTRALIAN FILM & VIDEO—VOL 20 WINTER 2013
