Honestly this line is very strange. Not only is he dead, but Mad Max has never been very focused on continuity I think, Miller had said something about how the timeline can be variable and it’s basically supposed to be a telling of "the legends of a man called Max" to justify how Max and Joe don’t age as much between their two appearances.
How old is Furiosa in Mad Max? The same age as Charlize Theron or maybe a bit younger. Lets say 30-35. I am a bit confused as to how many years they are going to set it back where they are going to use completely new actors.
In the Mad Max world you can do anything. Look at the timeline between one, two and three. You can diverge anywhere. However, you need ridiculous cars with huge blowers and nitrous to make it work.
I still maintain that the entire Mad Max timeline is solved by making Max inexplicably immortal. It fits all four movies and the game together perfectly.
How is Ana Taylor-Joy a good replacement for Charlize Theron? She wieghs 120 pounds, her eyes are on the sides of her head like a guppy fish and she is not remotely beleivable as an action movie lead. Wtf is going?
I'm curious what the conditions of the world will be like in this film, in the original Mad Max things society has just collapsed seemingly, but there are still houses and town and such. By Fury Road all that is gone and it's only desert. I'm hoping we get to see the transition from post society collapse to complete dystopia. Show us War rigs being built up, mention the water supplies are winding down, give us a scene where Immortan Joe decides to start pumping women's boobs in a cave.
Well, I mean it is set in Australia. Even now if you leave the coast, there will be plenty of desert without houses. In my mind there are still be bits of civilisation in the Mad Max world along the coast.
Indeed. The prequel was already told in fury road. I don't need to see it. Show me characters I already care about rather than someone I'm supposed to re-discover in a prequel.
One of my favorite things about Fury Road is that the movie is movie almost the entire plot time. Either on the War rig or in the war boys cars it just doesn't stop. I hope the new one doesn't just take place at the citadel and we get all that amazing car/motorcycle action throughout the whole movie.
Tbf, a little more plot seems like a good idea. Fury road had great action, a lot of implications through props and visuals alone, but it could have needed a little more story to tell :D
I don't really care. Mad Max is a world where people record history by tattooing themselves and has already undergone a reboot with its own retcons. It doesn't need a 'canon'.
I wonder if Fury road benefited from not being a story heavy film against the back drop of all the chaos. This one seems like a MUCH bigger film according to article and all other reports, doesn’t mean it’ll be a bad thing but has me wondering, I have the upmost faith in Miller
It is, with the same editor. She was given so much footage in Fury Road that George Miller was worried the film would be a major disaster. She’s his wife too.
Of any film universe that exists I would think continuity of the story and where films “fit” would matter the absolute least in this one. As long as there are crazy car stunts, count me in.
Pretty interested in this one. I love Anya Taylor-Joy, Furiosa was my favorite part of Fury Road (and Nux, but obviously he wouldn't even be born yet in this), I will watch Chris Hemsworth in anything, and I've just started watching The Musketeers and absolutely adore Tom Burke in it. I will definitely be seeing this one when it comes out.
If it gives me an excuse to watch some crazy-ass vehicular destruction, the movie could be about the lizard Tom Hardy eats in the first 5 seconds of Fury Road for all I care.
Chris Hemsworth was my dream casting for Max. I thought Gibson and Hardy were great, but ever since playing the game, I feel like that version of the character reminded me so much of him.
Ever since I found out Collider pays their contributing writers poverty wages ($20 per article) I can’t give them a click in good conscience. Can anyone summarise the synopsis? Edit: never mind — saw that another comment summarised it.
Honestly should’ve been half prequel / half sequel so that Charlize could reprise the role. She’s the reason audiences want to see this film to begin with.
I wonder are we getting this because it's hard to top FURY ROAD. This could be the "quiet version" of fury road and still be amazing but how in thee fuck do you top FURY ROAD??! Wish Hardy and Theron were returning but Anya is dope
It'll be set before Fury Road and that's probably as precise as the timeline will be. Miller has said many times he's not concerned with consistency - these films are meant to be mythical.
I watched "Fury road" yesterday for the second time. Was blown away again. Bur why the hell would Miller come back to the story which has ended with an ultimate "return of the Jedi"? SW1-3 still make no sense to me. "Prometheus" was a downright stupid movie. What's that evil "prequel" virus that great directors catch when they get old? Something to do with MAGA?
While the idea of this movie is cool and all i still cannot phantom why we are nlt getting a new Mad Max. Honestly Hollywood had franchise gold in its hand and we are only getting a prequel.
I really can't stand action movies that cast completely unbelievable actors in lead roles. They are going from Charlize Theron ( Who was great) to Ana Taylor joy, who weighs about 120 pounds and her eyes are literally on the sides of her head like a Guppy fish. Hard pass.
Somehow, Hugh Keays-Byrne returned
Many years before the Mad Max adventure (Fury Road), Hugh Keays-Byrne was Toecutter.
He is only dead for tax reasons.
He is riding shiny and chrome in Valhalla
Hey man, computers.
Show me the body
Ain't stopping James Dean from starring in a new movie
Ehhh
He is Immortan.
That’s too bad that he died. He had really nice tits.
Honestly this line is very strange. Not only is he dead, but Mad Max has never been very focused on continuity I think, Miller had said something about how the timeline can be variable and it’s basically supposed to be a telling of "the legends of a man called Max" to justify how Max and Joe don’t age as much between their two appearances.
Oi that never stopped an Assi !
this is a collider article, don't expect them to know this
What a selfish bastard, how dare he?
its justt his corpse now and the use sticks for his movements
That was Immortan Joe right?
Collider ain't gonna actually do a couple seconds of research for an article
Weekend at Immortan Joe's!
How old is Furiosa in Mad Max? The same age as Charlize Theron or maybe a bit younger. Lets say 30-35. I am a bit confused as to how many years they are going to set it back where they are going to use completely new actors.
I thought you meant his character. Fucked way to find out he actually died.
He's come back shiny and chrome
It's a prequel so he isn't dead yet /s
Ya know, who cares? If he can still pull it off, why shouldn't they cast him. I think you are just prejudiced against dead people.
In the Mad Max world you can do anything. Look at the timeline between one, two and three. You can diverge anywhere. However, you need ridiculous cars with huge blowers and nitrous to make it work.
The first one wasn't even like the apocalypse, then fury road was full on post civilization with crazy shit going on. Max was a police officer.
There was a comic that tried to make Fury Road canon with the first three and it was the most contrived thing I ever read.
This one has a "biker horde" which I'm very much looking forward to. Lots of fun custom bike stuff to play with.
I still maintain that the entire Mad Max timeline is solved by making Max inexplicably immortal. It fits all four movies and the game together perfectly.
And some actuall speed because you can tell they are not going fast very often.
Theron is two years older than hardy and max was an adult when the apocalypse started .
This whole movie is going to be like Hot Tub Time Machine where you’re just waiting to see how the guy loses his arm.
Smart thing would be to have her already missing the arm.
Good for Nathan Jones. Prequel or not, they're not gonna find another 6'11", 340 lbs guy to play a young version of him.
But I heard he has a babby brudda. Perfect in every way.
He's put together one interesting career.
The guy from Troy right?
The franchise lends itself well to using over-the-top costumes and prosthetics to hide an actor's age. Hope he has a nice mullet or something.
What about Danny Devito? They can get real weird with it
I had no idea he was that tall. They could have probably found a shorter guy if they had to (not that they should've).
This is all total hearsay. Take the words of this redditor with a grain of salt.
Official Synopsis:
Warlord Dementus is an incredible name
Lol damn I have to wait 2 more years ! Hope there’s no set back or delays . But can’t wait though !
"Angus Sampson as The Organic Mechanic"
I love Anya, but I feel she could've been one of the wives in Fury Road and it would've fit her better
I’ll be upset if Chris Hemsworth isn’t playing Inmortan Joe. He was great as a cult leader villain in El Royale.
Finally some good fucking news
How is Ana Taylor-Joy a good replacement for Charlize Theron? She wieghs 120 pounds, her eyes are on the sides of her head like a guppy fish and she is not remotely beleivable as an action movie lead. Wtf is going?
you mean we get to see chris hemsworth take his thor physique into the barely clothed world of mad max? sign me up
Please insert Chris Hemsworth as younger Immortan Joe
A dude with a huge hammer would fit perfectly in this film.
is this thing rapey? because i am not into that type of themes in a movie
I'm curious what the conditions of the world will be like in this film, in the original Mad Max things society has just collapsed seemingly, but there are still houses and town and such. By Fury Road all that is gone and it's only desert. I'm hoping we get to see the transition from post society collapse to complete dystopia. Show us War rigs being built up, mention the water supplies are winding down, give us a scene where Immortan Joe decides to start pumping women's boobs in a cave.
I'd guess similar to Road Warrior?
Well, I mean it is set in Australia. Even now if you leave the coast, there will be plenty of desert without houses. In my mind there are still be bits of civilisation in the Mad Max world along the coast.
Yeah ok I guess, but what about a direct sequel to Fury Road!? That movie kicked so much ass
It's called Mad Max: The Wasteland, and it's in development, but getting made will probably be dependent on Furiosa doing well.
Indeed. The prequel was already told in fury road. I don't need to see it. Show me characters I already care about rather than someone I'm supposed to re-discover in a prequel.
What would it be about? Only thing I can really see is if Max finally comes to terms that his family and friends are dead and to move on.
Seriously. With this, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and Lord of the Rings all doing prequel series and films, I can’t help but wonder, what’s the point?
Fury Road took 20 years to make! Miller ain't gonna last that long.
The original soundtrack by Junkie XL is fire, hope he is returning
It was announced a few weeks back that he is!
Holy shit I've seen Fury Road 3 times and never noticed it was Junkie XL behind the music. No wonder I loved the soundtrack
Everything I read Junkie XL, im hyped.
Anya is great, but I'd rather have a sequel with Charlize and Tom Hardy, really.
It will never ever happen, they hated each other and the entire time they worked on it, so be happy we are getting anything like it
One of my favorite things about Fury Road is that the movie is movie almost the entire plot time. Either on the War rig or in the war boys cars it just doesn't stop. I hope the new one doesn't just take place at the citadel and we get all that amazing car/motorcycle action throughout the whole movie.
This movie sounds bigger than Fury Road.
Tbf, a little more plot seems like a good idea. Fury road had great action, a lot of implications through props and visuals alone, but it could have needed a little more story to tell :D
I just hope they rerelease the original in theaters before then. I was living in Peru when it came out and didn't get to see it on the big screen.
Holy shit, Tom Burke is totally playing Immortan Joe.
People forget how good Hemsworth is outside of the MCU. He was spellbinding in Bad Times At The El Royale.
In normal mad max universe fashion it will take place in the timeline after fury road but before mad max
Mad Max was set before the world ended. It doesn’t make sense for it to be then.
Well played
Before fury road
I don't really care. Mad Max is a world where people record history by tattooing themselves and has already undergone a reboot with its own retcons. It doesn't need a 'canon'.
The MCU franchise has made me honestly tired of a contiguous shared universe.
Is this the one where they reveal Toecutter was Immortan Joe's less successful younger brother?
I wonder if Fury road benefited from not being a story heavy film against the back drop of all the chaos. This one seems like a MUCH bigger film according to article and all other reports, doesn’t mean it’ll be a bad thing but has me wondering, I have the upmost faith in Miller
Why always so many prequels these days??
Because it was all written before Fury Road in order to give her a back story. Check out the book "Blood, Sweat, and Chrome".
Lack of creation of viable new story lines
I have mixed feelings. Fury road was so good because there was literally next to ZERO exposition.
I hope the director is the same
Sorry to break it to you kid, they got the guy from Happy Feet doing it.
It is, with the same editor. She was given so much footage in Fury Road that George Miller was worried the film would be a major disaster. She’s his wife too.
Not gonna lie, "Northman" made me want to see Anya in an action role and I am hella looking forward to this.
I will watch anything ATJ does
Sounds interesting, but I'd rather have a direct sequel to Fury Road. Will be watching this though, I trust George Miller.
I cannot wait to double feature these in the future. Fury road was probably the single most impressive film I have seen in ten years
Only film I went to watch in the cinema twice it was that good
Don't care just want more Mad Max.
They should pull another switcheroo and have Mad Max be the star this time.
I mean the Mad Max continuity isn’t exactly known for being coherent.
Of any film universe that exists I would think continuity of the story and where films “fit” would matter the absolute least in this one. As long as there are crazy car stunts, count me in.
I’m curious to see how Anya plays the role to differentiate from Charlize?
Young Furiosa won't be a hardened general of many years, so that should be easy.
She will play it differently in that she will suck, and Charlize did not.
I would actually have loved to see where it all began. See society collapse and turn into whats the mad max world.
Pretty interested in this one. I love Anya Taylor-Joy, Furiosa was my favorite part of Fury Road (and Nux, but obviously he wouldn't even be born yet in this), I will watch Chris Hemsworth in anything, and I've just started watching The Musketeers and absolutely adore Tom Burke in it. I will definitely be seeing this one when it comes out.
Wait! What? This is the first time I’m hearing about this! Please and thank you! Take all of our taxpayers money, and more. I can’t wait 😝
The series has never really been all together too concerned with continuity. I take each entry as it’s own thing.
It's Furi-OH-sa, not Furio-SAHH!
“Oh, what a day! What a lovely day!”
They should have called it Fast and Furiosa
I just want one more Mel film
Anyone else just not interested in this this point?
I’ll always be interested in whatever George Miller does
Really don’t get what the obsession with Furiosa is or was. Sure good character and was played ok.
I’m the opposite, I love Gibson as Max but still not sold on Hardy as his replacement. However the teamwork with Furiosa made Hardy’s Max worthwhile.
Agreed, I have no interest in her character or seeing this movie. Honestly didn’t really find her character interesting at all in Fury Road.
If it gives me an excuse to watch some crazy-ass vehicular destruction, the movie could be about the lizard Tom Hardy eats in the first 5 seconds of Fury Road for all I care.
Max was a borderline side character in the film, why would it be surprising that Furiosa attracted more interest?
I think this will be awesome, but my preference would be for a Charlize Theron Furiosa movie.
I've read the first draft. It's fucking great and, if they pull it off, this could conceivably be even better than Fury Road.
Where’d you read it? Was it a leak or is this some insider knowledge you’re sharing?
It will be revealed that Furiosa also knew Chewbacca back in the day too.
I read this as fursona so I guess I go home then UWU
….so In other worlds, set in 2023 based on true story.
Meh, not too interested. Give me another Mad Max movie and I’m down.
God Hollywood is just brainless garbage..
Naah didn't like furiosa as a character that much definitely not worth a whole prequel, it could be good tho ATJ has been making good casting choices.
Watch it flop
Chris Hemsworth was my dream casting for Max. I thought Gibson and Hardy were great, but ever since playing the game, I feel like that version of the character reminded me so much of him.
I liked hardy but he didn’t exactly give a great performance as Max. He hit all his marks but just mumbled without emotion the entire time
Sounds cool and all, but George is in his 80s. If this is his last film in the universe, I’d rather get one last Max sequel.
That’ll be coming next, titled as the Wasteland or Mad Max Wasteland. Not sure as both titles have floated around the rumor mills.
A Mad Max movie without Max just seems stupid.
It's called 'Furiosa', not 'Mad Max: Furiosa'... Read the title please!
Calling it now: Max Mel Gibson, now very old, shows up in the Interceptor.
Ever since I found out Collider pays their contributing writers poverty wages ($20 per article) I can’t give them a click in good conscience. Can anyone summarise the synopsis? Edit: never mind — saw that another comment summarised it.
Jeez everything has to be an "universe"... Anyway, can't wait for this movie! Very curious to see this version of Furiosa
Crashing this post. With no survivors
Why can’t we just have a max prequel
Why is this film being made, genuine question?
because GEORGE MILLER DONT MISS
what? No Charlize Theron? And a prequel? So there's no suspense in a Mad Max movie. Great. How exciting. Not.
Stop with the fucking prequels! Give us sequels or don’t give us anything at all!
That’s a prequel to a movie I’ve forgotten, about a character that who gives a fuck
Why not just come up with something original?
Why a prequel ? Should be a sequel , she is the main character even though they don’t admit it.
Because she’s younger in Furiosa
[удалено]
LOL at somebody who thinks George Miller is gonna make a movie full of woke nostalgia bait.
Ah a prequel to the most overrated movie of all time. Lovely
Before it
The comics prequeling Fury Road was so unsettling and saddening..
Happy cake day
I love the mad max world, gimme more
Does this mean Tina Turner is coming back?
Can't wait to see anya as young furiosa. Chris hemsworth is in it too.
I bet that ogre from that 4chan thread is thrilled rn
I hope it’s not gonna be a bad movie, but I’m afraid it’s going to be a bad movie.
Honestly should’ve been half prequel / half sequel so that Charlize could reprise the role. She’s the reason audiences want to see this film to begin with.
I thought it was a riddick sequel for a second.
Bo
I wonder are we getting this because it's hard to top FURY ROAD. This could be the "quiet version" of fury road and still be amazing but how in thee fuck do you top FURY ROAD??! Wish Hardy and Theron were returning but Anya is dope
It'll be set before Fury Road and that's probably as precise as the timeline will be. Miller has said many times he's not concerned with consistency - these films are meant to be mythical.
It’s sad how Hollywood beats to death any original movie that was good. Maybe make something original again.
This will only be the second Mad Max film in the last 37 years.
It is original. They wrote it all before filming Fury Road.
Mad max is the only franchise I’m ok with getting beaten to death. Brought back and milked dry.
[удалено]
I watched "Fury road" yesterday for the second time. Was blown away again. Bur why the hell would Miller come back to the story which has ended with an ultimate "return of the Jedi"? SW1-3 still make no sense to me. "Prometheus" was a downright stupid movie. What's that evil "prequel" virus that great directors catch when they get old? Something to do with MAGA?
Anya Taylor-Joy is going to make this film unwatchable.
[удалено]
That little small insignificant personal problem of yours will magically disappear if you just simply NOT watch it.
FR is right up there with Thunderdome in re: to absolute crap. I swear Hollywood could fawk up a wet dream.
Odds on Hemsworth playing Max?
I would imagine low, unless Max and Furiosa never actually meet / see each other over the course of the film.
Okayyy, Jadaa! Glad to see Chris got through to you! It’s amazing to see you back in your biggest role
It's rumoured that these two can't stand each other
I seriously hope this doesn’t kill the franchise.
While the idea of this movie is cool and all i still cannot phantom why we are nlt getting a new Mad Max. Honestly Hollywood had franchise gold in its hand and we are only getting a prequel.
I really can't stand action movies that cast completely unbelievable actors in lead roles. They are going from Charlize Theron ( Who was great) to Ana Taylor joy, who weighs about 120 pounds and her eyes are literally on the sides of her head like a Guppy fish. Hard pass.
I say before.
I wonder if they'll have Toecutter and Immortan Joe be the same character? I think it would connect the stories of Max and Furiousa a little more
How would that possibly work? Toecutter is very unambiguously dead at the end of Mad Max.
The first movie sucked, why are they coming back for more? If they want to make another movie with Charlize Theron do “Atomic Blonde 2”
Fury road was weak
Probably not gonna bother with this movie, since they should've just done a sequel and its been too long.
I am a huge Mad Max fan but honestly I don't like prequels and I really wanted another Mad Max film, not another Furiosa one.
