Within this world of fire and blood exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order… There’s Max (played by Tom Hardy from “The Dark Knight Rises”), 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.Īnd… Furiosa (played by Charlize Theron from “Prometheus”), 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. 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. “Mad Max: Fury Road” is the fourth film of George Miller’s Road Warrior/Mad Max franchise co-written and directed by Miller. These days stuntmen have been replaced by CG actors whose insurance policies are much easier to manage and rather than going for realism they tend to go over the top and things become a little too sensational. A director could tell a stuntman to jump off a 30 foot cliff or to drive a car into a wall at 100 miles per hour and they would. The first Mad Max film was made in an era of Australian film making where there weren’t any rules and people didn’t get sued every time someone stubbed a toe. All the stunts were performed by stuntmen, explosions were real, car chases were real and all the crashes were…you guesses it…real. The reason for this was because it all pretty much was. So while the trailer ticks all the right boxes for a Hollywood blockbuster the big question is will it have the same appeal and “true grit” as the original films? One of my favourite things about the Mad Max films was that everything seemed so real.

Tom Hardy’s previous roles as serial criminal Charles Bronson in the movie Bronson and as Bane in the last Batman film were the perfect precursor to a role as the wasteland warrior Max Rockatansky and Charlize is just as capable of kicking as much butt as Max (check out Aeon Flux and Hancock). With Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron leading the cast we can expect to see some impressive on screen performances as Max fights for survival in a post apocalyptic earth (formerly outback Australia). On one hand I really wanted to see another film in the Mad Max series, but on the other I was afraid it was going to be another remake disaster. When I first heard they were making this film I was sceptical of what was going to happen. I was born in the mid seventies just before the first Mad Max film came out and the original 3 films have always been on my favourites list (Yes, even the 3rd one despite Tina Turner). Mad Max Fury Road is due to hit cinema screens in May 2015 and they’ve just released a trailer to give us a taste of what to expect.
