(likely will not look as glamorous in Mad Max)
 
After the lack of Australian outback, weird carmadeddon looking cars and now super models I don't think this is going to feel like Mad Max at ALL.

We'll never get the 80s again. We have to accept that. Its a new world in Hollywood, a new era. Whats old is new again.
 
Yup rotten status confirmed.
Money in the bank for the studio though.

Im sure alot of the target audience have never seen Mad Max, so them butchering it is not a problem.
 
Well, hopefully she dies early on in the movie.
 
I want to say optimistic about this movie. The Road Warrior had the beautiful blonde woman in white football gear with a crossbow. She was not 'used' for her neauty at all during the entire movie; Mad Max didnt even talk to her; and she got horribly killed at the end during the chase too. She still gave off that strong person vibe, without being all over the top 'girl power' .

If I remember well; She gets like 5-6 bolts in the chest from that crossbow-turrel; she passes out on the side of the truck; and then she gets dragged by one of the gang member and throw into the wheels of the truck. It's still feels very real when it happens.
 
If by 'joining the cast' the article means '.., is basically a glorified extra' then yes, she'll be in the movie.
 
A human female duck has appeared. And she can't act her way out of a paperbox. (still better acting than Megan Fox I guess by one centimeter)

Movie is redeemed if she dies in the beginning of the movie.
 
This movie should have starred Mel Gibson as an old Max and he should die at the end.
 
I watched Beyond Thunderdome for the first time last week :(

I hope Fury Road is more gritty action thriller than kiddyfied adventure movie.

Taking sides in the original trilogy is a losing proposition. They're all great in their own ways.

No it's not. Road Warrior is far and away the best film in the series.

Well, 1) my point is that there is no need to pit any of the movies against each other and 2) while I prefer Road Warrior, someone could make a very strong argument for the superiority of Mad Max and they wouldn't be wrong.
 
Mad Max 4 is shooting in Namibia and Cape Town at present I see. Found this cute picture online.

Some of the MIL.SPEC. Team will be heading to Namibia this coming first week of June to film Mad Max 4 "Fury Road" - and we are taking our very own little Mad Max with us! We have Valdor as our main point of contact back at the Armoury Warehouse in Somerset West, Cape Town (15 mins from the Cape Town Film Studios) and a good team to cover any local work. See our Contact Page for contact details.
We will miss beautiful Cape Town!

I actually prefer Mad Max over the Road Warrior due to it being a tighter film and more emotionally involving. Road Warrior is a damn good sequel ala Aliens though.

Thunderdome on the other hand is dull. Weak villian, poor pacing, action scenes that pale up against films released around the same time: The Goonies, Temple of Doom (let alone Mad Max or Road Warrior).
 
Turns out, the apocalypse was caused by her freakish lips exploding after one collagen injection too many.

I'll agree that compared to the first two movies' villains, Tina Turner is lacking. At the same time, though, you aren't supposed to hate her. She's weak because she's a shade of grey, not some kind of psychopath like Toecutter.

I'd also argue that the Thunderdome sequence itself makes up for the lack of action through most of the film.

I think Thunderdome gets kind of a bad rap, for some good reasons and some not-so-good reasons. A lot of complaints stem from the fact that it is tonally different from Road Warrior, which is true, but consistent within the series. Road Warrior is a shift away from Mad Max, too. As a trilogy, it works because it show three distinct scenarios in an apocalypse: pre-collapse, post-collapse, and the rebuilding of society.
 
She didn't really have much acting to do in TF3, though she is always quite charming in interviews. Since seeing TF3 I've been quite curious if she could go on to have an actual acting career. Somehow I doubt this role will settle that question.
