If a prequel means we get Max in his Interceptor then I'm down. Why are people saying to continue the story? What story? It's Mad Max. There's never been a story line between them.

Oh shit they are going back to the great outback? Im surprised since fury road wasnt filmed in australia.
But Furiosa is implied to not be australian and or maybe even american.
Eh the comics imply that the movies are different points in his life with the first being his backstory.
Miller ain't getting any younger, why wait?
I'd welcome a Mad Max film every year if they could maintain even half the quality of Fury Road.

Lmao what. The last mad Max film before fury road was the 80s and Miller is in his 70s.

In my fuckin veins. Don't want a furiosa prequel though tbh. Hopefully this is the wasteland instead and they find a clever way of bringing back furiosa if she must be in it
Bringing beast mode gibson back would give me a heart attack

Max stole her prosthetic arm and it's her jack arm so she's PISSED
Miller is 75.

what?
no way
strike the iron while it's hot, not to mention many continue to discover Fury Road I feel, so they want to leverage that

That may likely be the case. Anyways timelines don't mean shit in these movies aside from fury road being furiosas ending.

When was this?

No it wasn't. They both went on record saying they had issues with each other and how difficult it was, with Hardy stressing he had a hard time because he didn't "get" Max and later apologized to Miller. Theron was just miserable to deal with and didn't want to be there.
She even stressed prior to the film's release that she wouldn't be too keen on coming back and she had no contractual obligation to do so....but once the film was released and won 6 Oscars her attitude and thoughts on a follow up did a 180. lol
It supposed to focus on the characters' backstories but... I don't think anything about a "prequel" being confirmed.

Was personally hoping for the ending to the Happy Feet trilogy.
YES!!!
Furiosa was great but honestly, I don't really care for her. I want more Max, and more of the interceptor!!!
The last 3 MM movies barely had the interceptor... :-(
Yeah, I could go for another round. It'll probably be a journey of development for George, and might be a while before he feels that he's ready to release it. So hitting the ground running with FR fresh in everyone's minds might provide some comfortable buffers from nervous interventions and prying about his production.

Regarding a quick shoot date and location: John Seale and Mark Sexton, the cinematographer and story board artist for Fury Road, have both been offering updates on the 2 scripts as recent as last month where Mark said the Furiosa script was finished and would span "over many years".
Broken Hill could work if it's reverted back to a desert and was originally where Fury Road was going to be filmed in 2010 but the rains came and the location became a meadow. At the time though they still spent 2 years or so by importing and building all the cars, building a road and testing everything to the limits so that when cameras rolled in 2011 they'd be ready. The problem was by the end of 2011 Broken Hill was still unusable and the decision came to Miller and WB to either scrap the project and the $70-100+ million already spent or go for broke and upheave everything and move the production to Namibia and begin shooting in 2012.

Please tell me this is true. Fury Road was one of the very best experiences I've ever had in a theater. I'm not even into cars at all and I wanted to drive a flamethrower monster truck 100MPH on the freeway when I walked out.
Furiosa was an excellent character too. Glad to hear they're both coming back (if true).

I'm all for more Mad Max movies. A Furiosa prequel focusing on her backstory though...ehhh. Although I hear the comics elaborated on it, I preferred filling in that blank myself.

If Max isn't in it I don't wanna see it. The wives were more interesting than Furiosa.
Yeah I would greatly prefer moving forward, at least for another film or two.

If this is a prequel there is no way for Max and Furiosa to know each other or be in the same place without it coming off as terrible, unless they're two separate stories going on simultaneously...which still sounds awful

I doubt WB will be throwing another 200+ million into this. Certainly not in their current state.

WB likes Oscars, & Fury Road is basically best case scenario for starting a big franchise again

Warner Bros's new business model is to win all the Oscars, then melt them down and sell the gold for profit.

Prequels can work in theory, but I don't get the point of going back in time before Fury Road and focusing on Furiosa..if you're going to keep her as a character you should set it after the events of Fury Road IMO

They kinda do even if it isn't obvious aside from the first two. lol

Not to ruin it for you but... you are aware that the gold statues aren't 100% pure gold right?
Miller never said that, a reporter misunderstood him and said he wouldn't do a another Mad Max movie again, which is false as Miller clarified he would do it.

Miller was bouncing off the walls and revving to go on more Mad Max movies just as Fury Road was released. lol The end product seemed to really fire him up to make the others.

Really hope it's not a prequel.
Don't want to go back to a savage Max, and the hoops to put him and Furiosa together before Fury Road...

My new toilet is.
Wah, all this talk about prequels and Furiosas make me super-nervous about the outcome. I was such a fan about the concept of each film telling a different story with Max as the only common factor. I'll have to trust Miller on this. No way it's gonna top Fury Road, due to less novelty in the world building alone. But do it anyway. Pleeease!

Yes. I'm also aware that melting a bunch of statues could not finance a $150 million movie.
You did ruin it btw.

Don't your get your hopes up about Furiosa returning, it's gonna be an unrelated prequel with Theron as a different character.
