Few 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.

Here’s a trailer that’s likely to divide fans. It’s set up to deliberately remind us of the early days of the Terminator franchise with an odd sense of nostalgia, but about halfway through it essentially says everything we saw before never happened and that it’s all been reset.
Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, Squid And The Whale) is back with While We’re Young, which reteamed him with his Greenberg star Ben Stiller, alongside Naomi Watts, Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried, for a look at a 40-something couple trying to keep hold of their youth.
