I saw that. My understanding it's where various journalists from different outlets interview the actors about the feature they're promoting, in this case for Fury Road. Usually a NDA is in place so we won't hear from the interviews until a specific date and time.
I know Hardy wasn't present because he's busy filming in Calgary until the end of April.

There were also doing a #AskMadMax on Twitter, with Nicolas Holt and Charlize Theron answering the questions.

So I guess Tom Hardy has seen the finished result? His thoughts...He seems very excited
MMFR On ThE WaY - ENjoY!!! - 30 + years in the making…. Worth every minute - minimal CGI everything you see happened - doesn’t matter if you believe it or not - it did.
Testament To GM and the entire Stunt and FX dept. detail to design DOP John SEALE and all the crew. Charlize Theron and her cast Kill this project - and I’m grateful to be part of this - next level of Car big Action Chase and Fight orchestrated extravaganza. More cuts than any movie ever - big loud and beautiful and utterly spectacular - has to be witnessed up there on the biggest screens - Enjoy xxx Tommy
Fury Road is the indisputable heavyweight example of the Art of creating Action Movie spectacular at it’s very best!
I don’t like to hard sell or talk up anything. I keep my head down. But I’m blown away by what I’ve witnessed. MMFR It just couldn’t be rivaled by anything out there - no matter how awesome super Hero movies are; which they are or how fancy their stunts and dancing which is spectacular fantastic and dynamic and exciting and athletic in its own way and God knows there’s much more of that kind of awesome to come… MMFR is a breath of fresh air it’s a full barrel of C4 in the Shotgun.
Fury Road is a different league of badass - a refreshing break from the norm - there’s no rubber suits and cloaks and magic cgi nope no super powers and no men flying and climbing up buildings sliding across cities on ice or waving glowing sticks of whatever throwing shields about or wielding big hammers and casting spells I mean that’s awesome too - but now the difference is here in this world none of that super stuff flies. Not remotely and that’s not to mean people don’t get flown or thrown about driven to extremes and acrobatic imaginative sequences aren’t abundant by any stretch. Just that Everything here is painful everything here really hurts everything is alive - visceral. Full of real life insanity - comic book impossible articulated without computer gen straight to screen - you see it’s way more than
Post apocalyptic petrol heads rampaging anarchic lunacy and carnage screaming and careening off the screen throughout an awesome but natural heightened technicolor apocalyptic landscape on live location - theres 9 months shooting of blood sweat and tears condensed into a fast visceral heart pounding 2 hours of orchestrated madness and breathtaking live action - backed up by thirty years of thought prep and due diligence - everything you see happened - witness the plethora of impossibilities and athletic challenges undertook with utter conviction and complete disregard for personal safety in the pursuit of making this movie memorable - so many dangerous live stunts crammed into it - it is a miracle nobody was really really badly hurt and the attention to detail is second to none - suffused with painstakingly detailed design… the ride is riddled with eye opening mouth gaping jaw dropping death defying risks; larger than life characters and drama punctuated with tenacious physical action - braved with authenticity and conviction - captured in all it’s utter brutiful and splendid madness.. A broad creative team of dedicated and talented people came together all determined to use their skills to go on an adventure to capture one mans epic vision -Conjured up from one mans mind … And laid it out in all it’s dynamic force beyond full on…. It’s beyond badass… Haters don’t have a leg to stand on … It’s more than a movie to us. It was ass impossible. It almost might not have happened. This shit.. Is what Action movie makers dream about - they’ll stop take notes and confer - it’s a treat -miller spoils us. MMFR is more than just an action movie - it is what the thrill and the art of making the action movie is all about - anyone who was on it will tell you what it was and what it is - it’s the dream ride. for anyone who wants to do Action movies… Who wants to execute the impossible - the epic and it has a strong and epic mythology all of its own. The images will speak for themselves… It doesn’t need the hype - I’m just excited I’m grateful that it’s here.. It is an event - And it’s greater than I could have ever imagined. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen…. it’s off the fkn Chain.

More cuts than any movie ever
Mmm... I hope this wont be too distracting. I sometimes find movies that go hell bent for leather in the editing kind of off-putting. The eye sometimes needs time to rest on an image to take it all in.

Damn. That giant block of text telling you how great Hardy thinks this is and the only thing that sticks with you is a negative (which isn't a negative). Seriously.

I never said it was a negative, all I said was I hope I wont find it distracting, nothing more. I can't wait to see the film.

This will make Hardy's career. What do you expect him to say. He's excited about it, but then again IIRC he wasn't an original MM fan. To him this is an awesome movie. Of course there are going to be cool things in it, but will it FIT with ... ya know... MAD MAX? Or is it just some unidentifiable guy with no real relationship to the MM we all knew. Like seeing and old friend, but he look different, acts and talks different, isn't the right age, has different memories and the past, has the same car you knew was blown up, etc.
And in spite of the real "stunts" this nonsense about no CGI is simply false. If you look for it, you see CGI all over the place. Enhanced explosions, the sandstorm, lighting, several events where people are flying through the air from car-to-car or from explosions, jumps, etc. It's got as much CGI as Fast and Furious 7.

Rated R. Is this for real ? I thought it looked like hard PG13.

No way it's an R. There's no explicit or graphic sex or violence in the movie and Warner Bros wants its budget back. It's going to be PG-13.
