There is a new Mad Max movie (the Road Warrior for Americans) under development. I really think this is kind of a shody idea. The new one is going to be called Mad Max 4: Fury Road, a $100 million budget animated sequel with no Mel Gibson. This seems like a recipe for disaster to me, to many franchises have been soured by unsuccessful re-imaginings, although with any luck I will be proved wrong. Along with this film there is a planned tie in as many, I really don't know whether to shudder or rejoice.

P.S. I'm sorry if this has already been covered.

I dunno, we'll wait and see. But something does scream 'doomed' when I think about it being animated.

No Mel Gibson? good. Lately ive been disliking movies seeing some of their star actors have been acting like real whackjobs lately.

Who can still take a Tom Cruise seriously after seeing him act like a complete moron jumping op Oprah's couch and hearing him talk about the cult he's in?

It will be interesting to just see how bad this is, and the reaction. Could be just a shoddy re-imagining or it could literally ruin the originals for the next/current generation.

This is the only Mad Max spin-off I need to see. Should be out in a few more months:
The Road has just hit the same release date as Duke Nukem Forever...
They may be holding off on it for another Xmas release, as it was originally slated for a November launch before the first hold-back, or they may be having unresolvable issues with something. Either way, they completely pulled the release date, and still haven't shown one trailer or poster.
I'm wondering if they showed the movie to test audiences, realized how incredibly sad and disturbing the film was, and now have no idea what to do with the thing. As soon as I heard they were turning McCarthy's most popular books into film I just laughed. That guy takes the phrase "unfilmable" to entirely new levels. Ridley Scott is slated to direct Blood Meridian and has already said he has no idea how they are going to show all that awful violence.

Hell, I'm not sure I want to see it either.

Animated ey? No thank you. I'm happy enough with my dreams of being in the Thunderdome.

I dunno - if you aren't going to use anything but setting and concept and change everything else, why keep the old title? It seems like you're just setting yourself up for problems there.

Hmm. Sounds mediocre at best, but I'll still see it, in hopes it will be great!

Hahaha, that's because they got lucky and were killed and eaten early on.
