There’s not a single wasted scene, and this is the epitome of the motto “show, not tell.” Fury Road is incredibly cinematic, a visual smorgasbord both beautiful and harsh in its palette. The design, the art direction, the choreography, the cinematography, the story, the world-building–every aspect of Fury Road is exceptional and valuable. The follow-up to Mad Max: Fury Road may still be a long shot to happen, but never count out George Miller.I don’t often make such expansive claims, but I’ll do so here: Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the top 10 action films I’ve ever seen, and even a significant, historic addition to the action pantheon, fitting nicely alongside Die Hard, Hard Boiled, and Terminator 2 as action films that will stand the test of time as influential and groundbreaking.
MAD MAX FURY ROAD IMDB MOVIE
One thing everyone knows about Miller is that he’s patient and is willing to nurse a movie through development for a long time. And by now, it’s possible Miller may have whipped up something entirely new that hasn't been hinted at before. It’s not yet known what script would form the basis for any Fury Road sequel, but there are at least two candidates between Furiosa and The Wasteland. Given Miller’s lack of commitment to continuity, it would be no shock to see him go back to the wastelands of Mad Max to explore entirely different characters than we've seen before (but with a new incarnation of Max to provide a through-line).Īs for the iconic Furiosa, Charlize Theron has said she’s game to revisit the character, but implores George Miller to hurry up as neither of them are getting any younger. Miller has said that The Wasteland would not be a direct sequel to Fury Road, but would instead take place in the same universe, and would be smaller in scale. While developing Fury Road, Miller actually completed two other scripts, one revolving around Furiosa and another entitled Mad Max: The Wasteland. Though it may still be too early to get excited about a possible Fury Road sequel making its way to theaters, it's definitely true that George Miller has plans to revisit the universe he created through his original Mad Max trilogy and the belated follow-up Fury Road. It’s important to note that this report remains in the rumor category and should be taken with a grain of salt. While commenting on Paramount's decision to stop production on World War Z 2, Fandango managing editor Erik Davis said he’s hearing whispers that a sequel to Fury Road could be “ beginning to rev its engines.” But he could offer no more details. However, according to a new rumor, there are possible stirrings that another Mad Max could be moving forward after all. With four years now having elapsed since Fury Road hit theaters, and George Miller himself in his early 70s, prospects for another Mad Max adventure seem dimmer all the time.
