| Mixed reactions from ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ test screening Posted: 01 May 2014 01:00 AM PDT  "Mad Max" Japanese Theatrical Poster THE MOVIE: George Miller (Mad Max Trilogy) returns to the post-apocalyptic-action franchise that put him on the map. Tom Hardy is taking over the role of Max Rockatansky, formerly played by Mel Gibson. Also starring Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Zoë Kravitz, Riley Keough and Hugh Keays-Byrne. Note: this will be the first Mad Max to incorporate CG elements. Updates: Batch of set photos. | Collider reports that Megan Gale – who almost played Wonder Woman in Miller's cancelled Justice League film – will finally get to team up with the director in Mad Max 4: Fury Road. Director George Miller finally revealed something of a summary via this official press release. Quote: “Mad Max (Tom Hardy) is caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by the Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron). This movie is an account of the Road War which follows.” | New set photos. | The first look at Tom Hardy as Max. | Production video. | The Playlist reports that Dutch electronic composer and producer Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg) will be doing the soundtrack. Dark Horizons reports that Tom Hardy is going back for more filming. Here’s what he told Flicks and the City: ”[The movie]‘s great. It’s a big old piece; it’s a behemoth of a piece. I’m off there next week to do some reshoots, well not reshoots actually, but doing more. We’re building, building more Mad Maxes, even more spectacular and cool stuff.” According to EW, Mad Max 4: Fury Road is set to hit theaters on May 15, 2015. The new theatrical date makes it 30 years since Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome was released. Let’s hope it’ll be worth the wait. | New photo of Tom Hardy as Mad Max. The Sydney Morning Herald recently interviewed George Miller where he debunked rumors of a Mel Gibon cameo. However, he did mention that Max’s famous Interceptor will appear. As far as the movie, here’s what Miller said: "Our film, luckily after a ridiculous amount of work, is testing extremely well…We're very happy. There has been a lot of doubt about it, [people saying] 'it took so long', but Warners have delayed it until 2015 to go into the top weekend of the year." BREAKING NEWS: Collider has collected a pack of audience reactions from a Mad Max: Fury Road test screening. Here a few of them: Reaction 1: "…Mad Max II/The Road Warrior on steroids, go-big-or-go-home, bug-nuts crazy, toss-you-in-the-deep-end mythology… this movie feels like thirty years of Miller holding in passion for a world that he built so long ago, exploding on the screen." Reaction 2: "Weird to not see Gibson as Max but Tom Hardy holds it down just fine. Great action sequences and amazing post-apocalyptic vehicles and costuming with awesome makeup." Reaction 3: "I can't say much about it but let's just hope they do tons of re-shoots before it's released next year, or start again from scratch. Also Tom Hardy can't stop doing the Bane voice. So annoying." |
