NCR Redslayer
NeoGAF's Vegeta
In the film I remember a flashback scene with the mothers saying or implying that she might have shipped against her will across the great salt. Also someone pointed out her lack of accent.

They can easily top it.

DC sounds worse than the happy feet films.

Herald sun is one of Australia's leading newspapers. It's not some random website. Miller, and the series in general are Australian so it's not that crazy for them to have this scoop. Do some research before making these kind of statements next time.

I could see them doing that, and/or trying to lower the budget & make it PG-13. Real being real, Fury Road didn't need to be R at all.
We'll see about that one b

Wouldn't it just be called Furiosa?
I'd be more interested in just seeing a one-off story with either one. I thought the schtick is you're seeing a version of mythology.

Could they have gotten away with ripping out Joe's jaw and showing it in pg13? What about the c section with the fetus.

It won't be released for years if they are just starting filming.
It was critically acclaimed and won Oscars.

IIRC there was a PG-13 cut that they tested. They went with R after focus testing the living shit out of the movie

It doesn't need to top it on a spectacle level (Thunder-sandstorm), but just taking place in that new dystopia with new car stunts and character action/drama would be enough.
I would still like it if it didn't top it, but Fury Road did something for me that only a few films have ever done. I consider it close to perfection. It was normally not something I would have ever watched and I left the theater feeling like..."This is beautiful"
I want to feel like that again.

This time he's going to keep going in the same direction.
I'm all for it, but I not sure how will they cram Furiosa and Mad Max in a prequel. They don't know each other in Fury Road.
Don't worry. If they start working on it now, it will come out in 10 years.

I want to see that bleak Max one they have, but hell, I'll see anything Miller gives us
My guess is the Furiosa prequel thing won't have Max at all though, even if it's named "Mad Max" it's just a brand now

You know, a split story with no relation and connection between the two in one film united by theme and imagery alone could be a very neat idea in the right hands (i.e. Miller's).

Just know that it's a brilliant example in filmmaking, storytelling and world building while being as subtle or as loud as it needs to be at just the right times.
What I mean is, don't expect dialog or exposition to tell the story.
One of the best experiences ever in theater, I thought. Saw it 4 times.
Hopefully it's different in a lot of ways. More of the same is good but only so much.
I hear this one will have penguins.

The other 3 were pretty different from each other as well. This being a departure from fury road is likely a given at this point

He's going to try to top Beyond the Thunderdome.
Wish there were no returning characters. Furiosa was cool but her arc is done. Don't care about her past.
Down for this.

Instead of bringing back furiosa Charlize should just play a different character. Her with her blonde hair (or a different look) would be enough
Only the nitpickers would care really.
I'm not interested in them bringing back old characters either, aside from max obviously.

WB, read my lips: "N. O."
"But we need a cinematic unive--"
"NO. If George Miller dies, Mad Max dies with him. Repeat after me: We won't do a universe for Mad Max and compromise his vision."

What no! Why would they bring Furiosa back?
I'm not one of those "ahh get the woman out of my Mad Max movie!' people but Furiosa's arc works WAY better on its own. If they just bring Max and Furiosa back it totally ruins Fury Roads ending.

Can't help but agree with this. In fact, I'd rather take a Furiosa only movie with no Max than another with both of them since that doesn't really make sense.

That makes no sense. A prequel with both of them despite Max never meeting her before? The fuck am I reading?
But who is the modern equivalent to Tina Turner?

And bring back Hugh Keays-Byrne as another new character (for the second time).

The 1st two are obvious? Where the 1st movie is a world with Ice Cream and Coca-Cola and the 2nd movie has people fighting with spears and boomerangs in a wasteland?
It'll be a different movie. It doesn't have to be another Fury Road with non-stop action.

It took them 17 years to make Fury Road so no. It's never too soon.

I'd really prefer for each Mad Max film to be a fully standalone story.
Herald Sun isn't some random unknown. It's one of the main newspapers (the other being The Age) that sell in Melbourne, Australia each day.
