I'd like my jets to be a bit warmed up, if that's ok?

Cautiously optimistic, like I was when news about Fury Road came out but the third time was the charm ... it could happen, it could be great.

I'm completely hyped. This is the movie I'm looking forward the most. I am not expecting that Furiosa will top or even match Fury Road, that's
an impossible task. Everything what follows from now on is just a bonus for me...

During the production process of Fury Road I did follow every tiny news about it. Damn, near the end I even followed Junkie XL's facebook page :lol:
I have to admit being very sceptical about FR by the time it was released, but the film surpassed my wildest expectations on every level.
Now I'm very curious what Miller has in store for us this time around.

It's thrilling to see a new actress playing the part of Furiosa but maybe Miller will let Charlize have a small appearance in the prequel to reprise her iconic role, we'll see...

If you want to know more details about the plot of Furiosa I suggest you check out the Mad Max game.

Back when I made the video about the history of Mad Max video games I wasn't kidding in saying that this game is full of spoilers from future Mad Max movies. That's why I hate how WB handled that game, they just took Miller's ideas that he wanted to keep secret, they mangled them a little bit and built a game around it.

Just recently I became familiar with the plot of Furiosa, more or less the entire thing. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone because a promise is a promise. But that game did reveal too much already in Hope and Glory's backstory logs. Of course they switched some things around a little, added a couple of things here and there but the gist of stuff from Furiosa is in there. This is one of the reasons Miller's name is not in that game. WB should've created an original story instead of remixing what Miller had come up with for Furiosa and The Wasteland, as well as the prequel comic books....

Oh, I'll have to fire up the game and read some of those journal entries. I absolutely loved the game but it did feel like those character bios were ripped from another source. The way they referenced Fury Road but with characters switched around was a bit strange. That said if the film is anything as good as some of the cut scenes in the game then I am hyped.

Fun fact:
Mel Gibson has already filmed the beginning of 'Furiosa'. The movie is called APOCALYPTO :?

I watched Fury Road for the 100th time last night and it struck me that George will be getting four new actors in for Furiosa.

Furiosa is obviously being recast with a younger actor. I don't see how the film could be done without the Immortan so with Hughs passing they will need to. The Bullet Farmer may make an appearance but Richard Carter passed away last year. Quentin Kenihan who played Corpus Colossus passed away in 2018.

It's quite shocking how many we've lost in the short span of five years...
As for the upcoming prequel I think it could work if it differenciates from Fury Road. I suppose the plot will concentrate on Furiosas way becoming Joes
imperator and her age in the movie will likely be 20-25 years, like Anya Taylor-Joys actual age. This means no five wives, perhaps Nux appears as a young boy. It's such a bummer that Hugh can't reprise his iconic role but the movie could show the Immortan without his breathing apparatus, so that would give an another actor the opportunity to show his face...if you ask me, I would prefer Vernon Wells...

Vernon would be awesome! There's a lot of guys they can get with the build of Hughs but can they mimic his commanding voice.
