Wait, I thought the BR was supposed to come with both the B&W and silent versions?

Rumors.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I would not want to watch a black and white version of this. The movie had excellent cinematography, and those night sequences took the cake. I love the movie the way it is.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Maybe the US release will have the B&W version. Can see them cutting it though due to not wanting to release another disc which will likely be needed.

 

[MrBS]

I finally got my copy of the Art of Mad Max Fury Road from amazon yesterday. I've had a brief flick through it and its really nice. Good paper, lots of production art, stills, and lots of text on the production. Sometimes these books can be a lazy collection of PR photography and not much else but that is not the case here. Recommended for the Fury Road fan.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Now that the idea is out there, if they don't include it as an extra, someone is going to rip this film to their hard-drive, color-time it scene by scene in B&W themselves, and mix it with the Junkie XL score. Can't imagine it won't happen. Too many people got too excited at the prospect of it.

Hell, maybe Soderbergh will do it, like he did with Indy.

UK blu-ray won't work on US region players

I have several UK Blus that don't have region restrictions. I also have many, many US Blus that don't either.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

UK blu-ray won't work on US region players

Almost all WB BD's are released region free, as do a lot of other studios.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Rumors.

Bah. This has completely derailed my hype for the BR.

I was looking forward to the B&W version so damn much.

 

[Timeaisis]

Damn. Still getting it for sure but damn.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

It's such a bummer we won't be getting the B&W version. I was looking forward to it so much.

Anyways. Just noticed that the average rating for Fury Road went up. It was at 8.7, now it's at 8.8. This movie got so many reviews. It even got more than more popular movies like AOU.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

First no B&W version, next there won't be a sequel

 

[Net_Wrecker]

First no B&W version, next there won't be a sequel

Quite a jump you've made there, bud loool

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Quite a jump you've made there, bud loool

I know lol

I'm just bummed by the news. I guess I'll have to settle with the great movie that comes in the bluray.

 

[breadtruck]

Well, that IS disappointing that there wont be a B&W version on the bluray.

Im not interested in double-dipping for it.

 

[BattleMonkey]

I have several blu rays from the UK that work fine on my us player. As mentioned, many releases are region free. Though I did have one set where the movie was region free but the extras disc was coded for some reason.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I would not want to watch a black and white version of this. The movie had excellent cinematography, and those night sequences took the cake. I love the movie the way it is.

George Miller wants you to watch it though. "The best version of this movie is black and white", he says. According to him, the cinematography of the released film is an intermediary stage and the black & white version is the purer stage: http://www.slashfilm.com/fury-road-trivia/3/

Rumors.

More like the director's wish. He demanded it (see link above).

 

[Timeaisis]

First no B&W version, next there won't be a sequel

Have hope.

 

[Simo]

Guys, WB haven't revealed any technical specs or other special features for the blu-ray yet and those UK features are just 10 minute docs on the disc. WB haven't actually released any information for the US blu-ray either.

Considering Miller screened the B&W version a couple months ago along with word we're supposed to be getting an isolated score audio track.

There is a Mad Max Anthology boxset going to be available too that has all 4 films and a extra bonus disc with the "Madness of Max" documentary thats been in the works for a number of years now.

 

[R-User!]

^ I'll continue to remain optimistic thanks to this post.... But when will the news drop?!

 

[maquiladora]

Now the #32 highest grossing R rated movie.

 

[Christine]

Oh I want to watch it again ;_;

 

[Simo]

Figured it was worth mentioning but apparently the new rumor coming from Umberto or "El Mayimbe" is that WB is looking to George Miller to possibly helm Justice League for a November 2017 release:

Again it's a rumor and Umberto doesn't exactly have a perfect track record or anything. As much as I'd like to see a Miller helmed DC movie, I want The Wasteland more.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

I thought Snyder was directing JL?

 

[Discotheque]

i'd vastly prefer miller over snyder tbh but yeah i think snyder is scheduled for both justice league movies.

the speculation on that rumor is for shazam, the flash or green lantern corp

 

[Jenenser]

just found a great video for everyone who loved the doofwarrior and how they did his guitarsound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyPZzCmdFtE

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Wish Mad Max had a stronger OW but glad to see it had strong legs. I've only seen it once and the wait for the blu ray is excruciating. Does it have a solid release date yet?

por que no los dos

someone mentioned in another thread that he could agree to a dc movie in exchange for doing The Wasteland, just like Nolan used the Batman movies to do Inception, The Prestige, etc.

 

[Night Hunter]

Sorry, just have to pop in and leave this here, because it has been on my mind for being the most clever concealed joke in the movie

Sing, brother Heckler!

Sing, brother Koch!

SING!

 

[inm8num2]

"Just probing."

 

[Lethe82]

What's the joke?

 

[inm8num2]

Heckler & Koch is an arms manufacturer.

 

[cloud_sleep]

Heckler & Koch is an arms manufacturer.

Indeed, makers of the MP5K-PDW sub machine guns he is holding.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Man, just got a listen to the soundtrack. The soundtrack is just as great as the movie is. Wow.

Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Theron). They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe (Keays-Byrne), 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 Mad Max: Fury Road from a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller also produced the film with longtime producing partner and Oscar nominee Doug Mitchell alongside executive producers P.J. Voeten, Iain Smith, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman.

Wait, no Black & White version?

 

[Epcott]

First no B&W version, next there won't be a sequel

Wait, what?

 

[Nibel]

No BW version, huh? :/

 

[BattleMonkey]

No LE V8 edition for US

 

[afternoon delight]

Here's hoping for an isolated score B&W fan edit but I'm still buying like five copies.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

A 4 film Blu-ray anthology? Damn, I just bought all the individual releases when Scream Factory dropped their version of Mad Max. I wonder if they'll put any new special features on The Road Warrior or Thunderdome. If so, I'm going to be a little sad I didn't wait......then I'll probably buy it.

 

[Discotheque]

Prolly gonna pick up the anthology, I only have road warrior on blu

No different special features on those discs but the set comes with a extra disc containing the "Madness of Max" documentary, which to my knowledge has been in production for quite a few years now.

EDIT: Yeah looks like the B&W thing got ditched. The audio mix on the blu is the Dolby Atmos mix too.

 

[bomb]

definitely expecting a mondo steelbook

 

[Simo]

The special features also make it sound it has one of those "Maximum Movie" modes where George Miller, Hardy and Theron present how the movie was made.

Gotta say, called it months back they'd release the blu and game on the same day. Fucking great idea as I know what I'll be doing all day, and week! lol

 

[mattp]

oh come on
is wb really not gonna put the b&w cut on there?

 

[TheXbox]

oh come on
is wb really not gonna put the b&w cut on there?

might be they'll double dip in a year with a "directors cut" or some bs. that's classic warner

 

[Nappuccino]

oh come on
is wb really not gonna put the b&w cut on there?

I wonder how different putting the color settings to 0 would look from their tuned version.
