Huh. Not to add fuel or ammo for sequel/reboot discussion but we kind of missed this yesterday as DC Comics Solicitations for July were released including the Mad Max comics and they had these...

Max. The warrior Max. Haunted by his past and fated to wander the brutal Wasteland in search of his better self. To do so, Max Rockatansky enters Gastown, the only source of guzzoline for thousands of miles. Here he finds the final piece that he needs to rebuild his Interceptor – the powerful Boss 351 engine. But in order to acquire the fabled V8 in a world where car parts are worth more than a man’s life, Max must survive a gladiatorial battle in a place called…Thunderdome Plus!

From the mind of George Miller, the creator of the Mad Max trilogy, the prelude series to the upcoming film Mad Max: Fury Road continues in its penultimate issue!

So uh..ignore the game for a moment and I suppose that could give you a reasonable explanation on why Max has a Interceptor in Fury Road and still fall in with the continuity with the old trilogy. Maybe.
!

Sounds great

Ah gotcha.

Yeah the video game kind of kills it because he has the 2 tank Interceptor in the beginning and going by the new trailer Max has a daughter now.

Hardy interview in Details magazine.

Had you seen the Mad Max films?

I knew who Mad Max was. I just knew it was Mel Gibson, and I knew there was leather. And I knew he had a shotgun and he had an Interceptor, and I knew he had a dog. That was really cool.

Did you discuss the role with Mel?

I met Mel. I needed to meet Mel purely from a young man's perspective. I want to touch base with the previous Max and just say hello. And is it okay? Because I'm taking on Max, I have to meet Max. It's awkward. "You're Mad Max. I'm Tommy Hardy, and I'm playing him."

How did that meeting go?

He was bored with me. He said, "All right, buddy, good luck with that." Bless him. I made him a bracelet. And then we talked for a couple of hours about all kinds of stuff. I left, and that was that. And then he called up my agent and said, "I think you found someone that's crazier than I am."

I read that Charlize Theron, your costar, was scared of you. Do you think your intensity can be off-putting?

Possibly, but I don't think so with Charlize. I don't think that was the case. Because Charlize is an intense woman. Very intense, actually. In a good way. I mean, look at her in Monster—that's not somebody walking in the park. You don't just summon up that kind of authenticity without bringing a tremendous wealth of artistic ability. She's a very serious actor. So I don't see why she would ever be intimidated by me or in any way feel frightened. I think that was more . . . bollocks.

What was it like making Mad Max: Fury Road?

George Miller presented us with a 300-page comic book with every single frame of the movie drawn out. This is a man who, if it could've been animatronics, it would've been easier for him. If he could've painted us and we didn't have to have opinions, it would've been a lot easier for the poor guy. Because this is a man who can see it. And we had to transmute it, but he had to communicate what he wanted. And he had pictures, and the actors were a bunch of investigators. We just asked questions all the time. We want to know how to please or how to tell a better story or, you know, "What am I saying this for?" The motivation. And the irritant to a genius. What he has created is breathtakingly fucking intricate, and he's fully articulated the most amazing colorful orchestration of carnage. It's a masterpiece. And that far outweighs any fear of playing, taking on Mel's role. Mad Max is, like, the coolest superhero that a boy could get. 'Cause there's no cape, there's no rubber suit. There's no flying. Nothing really hurts Batman or Superman. Everything hurts in Mad Max. Remember Indiana Jones when he hated snakes? He was scared. Those kind of heroes, they excite me because they are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. They are fallible. And when they jump, they're not sure if they're going to make it to the other side. And then it doesn't stop. I mean, Mad Max is really just an old man trying to go home.

The new game play trailer has what looks to be Thunderdome in it.

Pretty much confirms and matches up with the prequel comic to Fury Road then.

[P-Tron]

It also seems to confirm that Max had a daughter now.

Though that could be a stuff up by the game developers.

So we also lose the leather jacket at the beginning. That's kinda un-Max-ish.

Looks like the mountain goat dirt bike crew control a valley in the updated Retaliate trailer and are concerned about the three war parties following Furiosas rig instead of the few vehicles in pursuit she claimed.

Whoooa! Quite a bit of new footage there and I noticed browsing the Roadshow YT page they've got more spots with more new dialog and footage. Nice one!

Oh and Entertainment Weekly's new issue this week is another Mad Max cover story. Waiting for the digital edition to go live but they're a day or 2 behind for some reason.
