Mad Max: Fury Road

Holy shit balls. New trailer.

Here.

Based on this, I'm more excited about this sequel than Star Wars.

Gorgeous, exciting. Holy shit. Can't wait.
 
I saw the Comic-Con one the other day and thought it was good. I'm keeping an open mind.
 
It's hard to call it a sequel, the V8 intereceptor was in the trailer I saw on the Edge Of Tomorrow DVD.
 
I'm not entirely certain, but from what I've read online it's either a reboot, or a midquel set between Mad Max and The Road Warrior. Honestly, I wouldn't be to surprised if they left it rather ambiguous.
I really liked the new trailer. It still didn't tell us much more about the story than the SDCC trailer, but it did give us a bit of a better look at some of the characters.
I absolutely love the look of this movie.
 
Continuity wise, I don't really care, and I think it will be ambiguous in the movie. It looks super exciting, super weird and out of the box from the rest of what's going on.

I'm in.
 
That looked AMAZING! I can't wait! When I was a kid Beyond Thunderdome was one of my all time favorite movies.
 
Yes, this is as good as pulling your pants down on an empty highway in the middle of winter and letting the breeze tickle you.

I like that the action is so off the hook and yet it doesn't look like cartoony transformer level special effects. Its like someone went back in time to George Miller in the 90s threw a bucket of money at him and said "have fun".
 
It still didn't tell us much more about the story than the SDCC trailer, but it did give us a bit of a better look at some of the characters.

Story? Since when is story important to Mad Max? The first one was a hoot and had no real story. This looks like it'll be a hoot times 11.
 
I liked a comment on FB :"showed too much of nthe characters and plot and not enough car chases and explosions". :lol:

And Miller got a note from Michael Bay: "dude, calm down!"
 
I've been hearing about this movie for a while and never had any interest in it till I saw the trailer, it looks bad ass. I'll certainly be checking this movie out in theatres.
 
And Miller got a note from Michael Bay: "dude, calm down!"

He's jealous that Miller can make a good movie with explosions and he can't.

Absolutely true. But it's also true TWO of Michael Bay's films are in the Criterion Collection, and even though I like ARMAGEDDON I keep wondering how he pulled that off.

I guess he might have argued that his movies are at least as good as THE X FROM OUTER SPACE.
 
I am a little surprised by that too. I figured they would have gone for a PG-13. Thunderdome was only PG-13.
The June solicits from DC Comics included Mad Max: Fury Road - Furiosa #1. Seems to give us some pretty good insights into the movie's story too. I can't remember for sure from the announcement, but it appears to be grouped with the Vertigo stuff, and it is a mature title, so it appears to be coming from that imprint rather the DC name.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD – FURIOSA #1
Written by GEORGE MILLER, NICO LATHOURIS and MARK SEXTON
Art by TRISTAN JONES
Cover by TOMMY LEE EDWARDS
One-shot • On sale JUNE 17 • 40 pg, FC, $4.99 US • MATURE READERS
High in the Citadel there exists a bio-dome of clean air and pure water, protected from the toxicity and anarchy of the Wasteland. Here the warlord Immortan Joe keeps his most prized possessions – his wives – imprisoned for his pleasure and his insistence that they bear him healthy male heirs.
Then, amid this cruel depravity, an unlikely rescuer emerges…the Immortan’s most lethal warrior: the Imperator Furiosa.
From the mind of George Miller, the creator of the Mad Max trilogy, the prelude miniseries to the upcoming film Mad Max: Fury Road continues!
 
I find the R rating rather encouraging, frankly. We're about due some decent blockbuster content that isn't pitched at teens.
