"ad Max creator George Miller recently spoke about his life and work and, yes, thankfully touched on the languishing Mad Max: Fury Road project that has seemed to have stalled out. It seems that not only is the project still happening, but that there are three full scripts completed with an eye towards an entire trilogy.

Here's some quotes from Miller on the topic:


“We started with [Fury Road], but we then started to do a second story and a third,” he says. “We’ve written the script for the second and almost finished the third. We never intended to, they were part of the exploration of the characters.”

In regards to the (first) film's budget, Miller's producer Doug Mitchell says “it’s confidential but it’s massive. Because the studio has so much money on the table, they did bravely step up their exposure. If you’re talking about a big film, an action film, find a budget that’s big and it’s that.”

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD reportedly begins shooting in Nambia in April. Warner Bros. is still on board to produce and distribute and Miller says the budget is f-ing massive."

Mel Gibson in this thing?

Tom Hardy is playing Max Rockatansky (mad max), its also starring Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult (warm bodies)and maybe more importantly Nathan Jones is playing Rictus Erectus

supposedly this will be the first of 3 movies set in the mad max world.

lots of people get confused by mad max, then road warrior, and then madmax beyond thunderdome. although I suspect it was just a mistake. Thunderdome was awesome (except for the kids)

I had heard that this will be a sequel set quite a few years after the 3rd movie - is that still the case?

Hollywood can break off into the ocean if they reboot this series.

get confused that the mad max trilogy changed names for the American release and that there was 3 movies. not 2 since the original mad max had a very limited release in the states

suspect he meant to say 3

I will admit that some more Mel gibson flip outs would be great

the story has gone through several iterations, and even at one point was talked about being animated or done all in CGI. Mel Gibson was also supposed to star in it, until his schedule conflicted just a few too many times. I suspect him not appearing in it changed the script as everybody was leery of him and the action that would be involved (and if he would stay on his meds)

The first screenings of the movie have been positive

Misleading thread title is misleading. Thunder Road is an unrelated classic film that is potentially being remade. I believe you mean Fury Road.
