His photos are interesting. Quite a few there that go all the way back to Miller's failed JLA movie so that's a nice, and first, shot of some of the main cast there.

Regarding his comments I guess thats why he surrounded himself with various top parkour and martial artists. I'd imagine some might not be too happy about the emphasis on more guns and gun battles.

Angry Anderson aka Ironbar from BTD , I wonder if he is making an appearance in Fury Road or the photo is from something unrelated :?:

I don't mind a bit of gun action , someone had to hoard all the guns ( the army for a start )

Not sure where to post this but Hardy is on the cover of the new issue of Esquire and some talk of Mad Max comes up. Firstly...could the running time be revealed at 2hours and 20 minutes...?
Right now, though, he doesn’t look like a movie star. Right now, he’s a bearded man in jeans and a long-sleeved black jersey, rubbing his own head and puffing an e-cigarette as contemplatively as a geezer with a meerschaum. Nobody bothers him. Nobody seems to recognize him, for it’s early yet and the restaurant is still given over to civilians. Then the first tuxedoed man appears, and the first woman whose body appears less a manifestation of nature than of will, and there is a chemical change. The patrons become more purposeful, their movements more ritualized; they are not only either more contained or more expansive; they appear to have chosen to be so.

And they recognize Tom Hardy. They are not movie stars; they are not famous people—they are money people; they finance movies and get them made. They recognize Hardy because they’ve placed bets on Hardy, and they approach him. Among friends, Hardy is big on “cuddles”—hugs—but these men don’t cuddle, they clasp, and then talk about the running times of Hardy’s upcoming movies. The first man talks about Child 44; the second, a few minutes later, about Mad Max.

He is especially sleek and satiny; if Hardy ever plays Bond, he’ll have to snap the neck of someone who looks just like him. Instead, Hardy asks, “Have you seen it?”
"Yes," the man says. "It’s six hours."?
"It’s going to be awesome, though."
"Yes, at two hours and twenty minutes."
Hardy cocks a playful finger at the man. “Two-forty.”
"Two-twenty," the man says, and then is gone.
He, who has made all of life a test, is finally being tested. Mad Max: Fury Road took six months to film, primarily in Namibia. It was filmed primarily in the desert, filmed where there was nothing—anything that existed had to come into existence, had to be built or shipped in. “It was a really hard place for a star,” says Kelly Marcel, who came to the set when Hardy needed to figure out his character. Oh, it was madness, really. “Some of the stuff they were doing, it’s unbelievable,” Hardy says. “Like fifty vehicles out at once, moving across the desert at forty kilometers an hour, the whole movie on the move, cars and vehicles as platforms of action—it’s crazy. And none of it’s CGI. It’s almost too much. It’s like trying to fit three alligators in a bathtub. It’s like trying to take a shower in a bathtub with three alligators. Imagine that.”
And the feud with Charlize Theron?
"The feud with Charlize Theron?"
"All you have to do is enter your name into an Internet search. People are afraid of you."
He is sitting in the restaurant of the Soho Hotel. He leans over his e-cigarette and takes a puff.
"That’s disappointing," he says. "I think she’s fucking awesome. I think she’s incredible. I think she’s one of the most talented actresses of our generation. But it’s very interesting, the concept of what danger is, and this has nothing to do with Charlize Theron or Mad Max, actually, but this has to do with life in general. There is a flicker of energy that can come from certain people, whether it’s fear-based or whether it’s contrived, which can unsettle a room. And if somebody mismanages that, or if a trickster is in the driving seat of that particular asset and has no business being there in said room, well … but I am no more threat than a puppy. People are frightened by passion and heart. I’m terrified of it. And by decision making, especially if it’s not their own. There are many sides to a coin as well.
Reputation can work for you and against you, but I’d rather have one than not have one. But at the same time, it better be the fucking right one. It has to be authentic. It will have my signature on it. If I punch somebody in the face, they will know it. If I haven’t, someone knows as well.”
That you haven’t?
"Yeah, if there’s a transaction that hasn’t actually happened and it’s a bullshit reputation, someone on the planet knows. And if it has happened, someone on the planet knows, whether it’s that person or a witness. But I guarantee there are more witnesses for that which hasn’t happened. Because witnesses we don’t need." He laughs, the occasional high-pitched whinny he uses not to express merriment but to punctuate his sentences. "If I really wanted to hurt somebody, I would."
I already know he is not an ambassador. I’ve known that from the first, because he told me. And now he asks a question of his own. It’s not in the form of a question, but he puts forth a scenario intended as a test of me.
"There’s not a single person who has had to lead who hasn’t upset somebody, has a huge fucking demographic of people who dislikes them, hates them, and wants them dead. Well, in that case, if somebody hates me or dislikes me, then that’s a compliment. I’ve done something right. And you only have to judge me on my integrity and whether you believe, whether you feel that I am somebody who you’d let look after your daughter for the afternoon. You don’t have to answer that, Tom, but I guarantee that you could leave your daughter with me and my little boy and we’d have a great afternoon, and that would be that."

Devin @ Badassdigest once said that a source of his indicated that the movie was running "a little long right now". If a convo went down as stated in the Esquire article, then I'd guess that Miller's cut was coming in at 2:40 while the studio is pushing for 2:20, and there may be some continuing battle over it, with Hardy apparently on the 2:40 side.

If the movie feels long at 2:40, then I would welcome some editing, but I've seen many 3 hour movies that felt like they ended too soon, while other 88 min movies felt like they went on forever. Unfortunately, for many studios, shortening a movie's length is less a quality issue and more of a "how many showings a day can I squeeze out of this" thing. I really hope the latter isn't the case here.
