Mad Max: Fury Road (Blu-ray Review)

October 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne
Director: George Miller
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 5th 2015 (UK)

I think it’s fair to say that a lot of people thought Mad Max: Fury Road was cursed to fail. Some didn’t think it should have been made at all, as they were worried it would sully the name of the originally Mel Gibson trilogy. However, George Miller wanted to make it, but it took years to get all the pieces together and Warner to give it the greenlight. Then, when it was finally ready to shoot, a massive storm blew most of the set away.

That cause a year long delay and a move to a different country. After it was eventually filmed, it took more than two years to get it into cinemas, with some wondering whether that due to the whole thing being a giant mess. However, when it finally arrived a lot of people had to admit they’d misjudged the film, as it’s a really good action movie that certainly deserves to have the Mad Max name. [Read more…]

mad-max-fury-road-character-poster1-slideAfter a very, very long wait, it’s just a couple of weeks until we get to see the reinvention of Mad Max, with Tom Hardy taking over the role from Mel Gibson in Fury Road.

To make sure we know this is going to be a film that’s just as nuts as the earlier movie, while ramping up the style and the budget, a final trailer has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” revisits his own post-apocalyptic trilogy featuring the anti-hero known as Mad Max. Tom Hardy stars in the role of Max Rockatansky, alongside Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Mad Max: Fury Road Trailer – The action gets epic for Tom Hardy

March 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mad-Max-Fury-Road-Main-PosterAfter years of waiting – both while it was in development and since it finally shot in 2013 – Mad Max: Fury Road is nearly here and will arrive in UK cinemas on May 14th, with Tom Hardy taking over from Mel Gibson in the title role.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” revisits his own post-apocalyptic trilogy featuring the anti-hero known as Mad Max.

Mad Max: Fury Road Trailer – Tom Hardy takes on the Road Warrior and it’s looking good

December 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mad-max-fury-road-pic1Few films have taken as long to get to the screen as Mad Max: Fury Road, or seemingly been so unlucky. Indeed at one point several years ago the movie was fully cast and ready to go, and then a massive storm in Australia destroyed the set and the whole thing was delayed by a year and moved to Australia.

Even after it finally went in front on the lens in late 2012 they’ve been keeping us waiting, as it’s not due in UK cinemas until May 15 2015. However to get us in the mood a truly explosive new trailer has arrived, which suggests this is going to be a movie that’s really, really big on action.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Oscar-winning director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary “Mad Max” franchise, comes “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky.

‘Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

‘Miller directed from a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller also produces, along with Doug Mitchell and P.J. Voeten. Iain Smith, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.’ [Read more…]

Mad Max: Fury Road Comic Con Trailer – Tom Hardy gets apocalyptic in the awesome first footage

July 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mad-max-fury-road-character-poster1-slideThis year there have been fewer trailer than usual that first screened at Comic Con and were shortly afterwards available online. However now we have a doozy, as the Comic Con trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road has been released, and it looks pretty awesome.

We still have to wait until May next year to see it, but it’s starting to seem like the ridiculously long wait we’ve had for the movie (it shot in 2012) will be worth it. Take a look at the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The post-apocalyptic action film is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life.

‘Within this world of fire and blood exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order… There’s Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos.

‘And… Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.’

And if the trailer isn’t enough, take a look at the character posters we posted earlier today. [Read more…]

Tom Hardy & Charlize Theron Get A Mad Max Fury Road EW Cover

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mad-max-fury-road-ew-coverAfter decades in the works, followed by more delays, casting changing, a storm that destroyed the sets and moved the shoot from Australia to South Africa and various other issues, Mad Max Fury Road finally started shooting at the end of 2012.

Despite that, the release is still almost a year away! It had better be good when it finally arrives.

Despite the fact it’s been in the can for a long time, we’ve hardly seen anything from the movie. But to show us it hasn’t been completely forgotten, as great shot of Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron for the movie has popped up on the cover of EW, which you can see above.

Director George Miller previously told /Film of the movie, ‘Mad Max is caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by the Imperator Furiosa. This movie is an account of the Road War which follows. It is based on the Word Burgers of the History Men and eyewitness accounts of those who survived.’

Early test screenings have already taken place, and the response has reportedly been good. However most of us will have to wait until May 2015 to see it.

First Pic Of Tom Hardy As Mad Max Arrives Online

December 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mad-max-2012-preview-pic1
Yesterday a scanned, autographed image of Tom Hardy popped up online, which had many people asking whether this was the first pic from Mad Max. Warner Bros. has now confirmed that it is indeed from the movie, and is something Hardy signed for the cast and crew.

Hardy is taking over the role of Mad Max Rockatansky from Mel Gibson. The long-delayed movie, Mad Max: Fury Road, has been shooting in South Africa and should be arriving in cinemas sometime in 2013. There’s been no info on the exact plot of the film, which is believed to be a continuation rather than complete reboot of the character.

Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Charlize Theron, Riley Keough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also star, with original Mad Max director George Miller at the helm.

Wolverine, Guardians Of The Galaxy & Mad Max 4 Get Official Plot Synopses

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We’ve got a bit more info now for The Wolverine, Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy and Mad Max: Fury Road, as official plot synopses for the movies have been released, letting us know more about what direction they’ll be taking.

So here they are:
The Wolverine (via Hitfix): ‘Based on the celebrated comic book arc, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.’

The comic arc they’re talking about is by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, and helped reinvent the character for a new generation. Director James Mangold has also been tweeting about his inspiration, saying ‘movies I think about as I make #TheWolverine : Eastwood’s Josie Wales, Powell’s Back Narcissus, Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Marnie, Vertigo’, ‘more : Ozu’s Floating Weeds, Kurosawa’s High & Low, Polanski’s Chinatown, everything by Wong Kar Wai And Chris Doyle, Besson’s Professional.’

Mad Max: Fury Road: ‘Principal photography began July 9 on the dystopian action adventure Mad Max: Fury Road, a Kennedy Miller Mitchell production written and directed by Mad Max creator and Academy Award winner George Miller (Happy Feet). The film will be presented by Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Village Roadshow Pictures. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road – the fourth in the franchise’s history – stars Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) in the title role of Max Rockatansky, alongside Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster, Prometheus) as Imperator Furiosa.

‘According to Miller, “Mad Max is caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by the Imperator Furiosa. This movie is an account of the Road War which follows. It is based on the Word Burgers of the History Men and eyewitness accounts of those who survived.”

‘Mad Max: Fury Road also stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) as Nux; Hugh Keays-Byrne (Mad Max, Sleeping Beauty) as Immortan Joe; and Nathan Jones (Conan the Barbarian) as Rictus Erectus. Collectively known as The Wives, Zoë Kravitz (X-Men: First Class) plays Toast, Riley Keough (Magic Mike) is Capable, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) is Splendid. They are joined by supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw as The Dag and Courtney Eaton as Fragile, both of whom are making their big screen debuts. Also featured in the movie are Josh Helman as Slit, Jennifer B. Hagan as Miss Giddy, and singer/songwriter/performer iOTA as Coma-Doof Warrior.’

Guardians Of The Galaxy (via It’s On The Grid): The film is ‘About a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.’

It seems likely that the astronaut in question is Peter Quill, aka the character Star-Lord, who was pictured in the Guardians concept art released at Comic Con. The thing they’re looking for is likely either the Cosmic Cube or the Infinity Guantlet, both big power items in the Marvel Universe that have already either played in or been teased in Marvel Studios films. It’s also likely Thanos will appear in the movie.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Joins Mad Max: Fury Road

June 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

She may be beloved by FHM readers, but model turned actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley didn’t exactly get glowing reviews for her acting in Transformers 3. However now she’s getting another chance to show off her skills, as Deadline reports that she has joined the cast of Mad Max: Fury Road for director George Miller.

The actress will play one of the Five Wives held by Tom Hardy’s Max Rockatansky, who are being chased by the movie’s villains. Zoë Kravitz and Riley Keough are portraying two of the other spouses. Charlize Theron, Teresa Palmer, Nicholas Hoult, and Adelaide Clemens also star.

Production is scheduled to begin next month in Africa, after plans to shoot last year in Australia were nixed by adverse weather condition.
