Amazing!!! I'm still holding out hope that the film is in some way connected to the three other films.
The Mad Max universe has never been about monster trucks
Not entirely true. "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" had Max's truck as well as Ironbar's truck.

It's possible these vehicles will be running on something other than gasoline. I recall one Road Warrior rip-off in which the hero road a motorcycle fueled by distilled chicken droppings, for example.

Also, if this film does fit in between MM1 and MM2's continuity, then perhaps fuel isn't as scarce as it was in MM2?

Regarding Miller's brilliance, that is undisputed. However, as MM3 so sadly showed us, sometimes a brilliant director isn't enough.

Although I love these pics I'm hoping there won't be many more as the less I know the better. Same goes for Prometheus.

Those weren't monster trucks, per se.

We only really got a peak into Millers Mad Max universe with the first three films so it's sort of pointless for us to speculate over what is and isn't right.

This isn't really a monster truck either. Front wheels are too small for regular car climbing hijinks. The under-the-tarp pic from the first page suggests it had even smaller front (and rear) wheels and lower suspension at one point too. None the less, this is ... extreme.
The sci-fi looking guns on the truck are worrying me too.

The wheels/tires look like those from a tractor, like:

I'm glad I'm not the only person to get really uncomfortable double vision when looking at the pictures. The vehicle itself is still way overdone.

What it's really going to boil down to, of course, is the script. Will we be told a story in which it is plausible or necessary for such vehicles to exist? My gut feeling is that this film will serve up plenty of surprises, and we will be blown away by its awesomeness.

Wait till you see it racing across the screen in IMAX 3D. *passes the Dramamine*

To think that may be just one of a fleet of similar vehicles. Below I repost a quote I found on another board almost 2 years ago.
Went to the pub last night and got into a conversation with a bloke who said he was working on Mad Max 4. I thought he was full of it until he showed me some footage from his iphone that showed a metal finished xb coupe with a massive blower and jacked up rear end driving around what looked to be a parking lot.

A quizzed him a bit further as he was well under the weather. He told me the following:

The movie is being shot out at Broken Hill and an English actor whose last name is Harley I think is playing Max. They have 6 Coupe's 4 of which will be finished in metal as the story in the movie goes there is no more paint left in the world and as there is no water, so metal doesn't rust. (Thats what he told me). The story will start out with a coupe done up like the original. Mel Gibson will not be making a cameo.

I said to the bloke these Coupes were rare it would be a shame to trash them and they must have been expensive to buy 6. He said they have $250 million to spend and that wasn't a problem. $250 million will go a long way in Broken Hill I would think.

He showed me a couple of other pictures of vehicles to be used in film one was a 30's Ford style hot rod with twin blowers on it (his words) and two stripped down trucks that looked like tripped down airport trucks.

Mad Max is one of my favourite films I hope they don't screw 4 up and I hope they treat the Coupes with some love.
