GM screening MM2 at SXSW; FR screening possible

The SXSW Film Festival runs March 15-21.

And George Miller will host a special screening of his 1981 classic, The Road Warrior, in anticipation of his Mad Max: Fury Road, due in theaters May 15. (Could a surprise screening of the Tom Hardy-starring sequel sneak its way onto the lineup? A similar rumor about last year's Godzilla reboot never came to fruition -- but one can always hope.)

I'd seen some folks talking about this on Twitter last night. The rumor is that it'll be the closing film for SXSW.

I'm glad Drew got this gig. He's a huge fan of GM.

I'm also pretty excited that on March 16th, I'll be hosting a screening of "The Road Warrior," and then doing a little Q&A with none other than Dr. George Miller. I am not exaggerating when I call him one of my five favorite living filmmakers, and I'm going to do everything in my power not to hug him a lot and cry when we're talking. I promise nothing.

So this screening is tomorrow. Wonder if they'll get Fury Road or at least a sizzle reel?

I can't place the origin of the photo but anybody know where the photo of Miller and the extras is from under the Director Bio on this page:

Fury Road?

Obviously Fury Road, probably taken in Sydney late 2013.

@mrbeaks @geveeso @EricVespe It's probably nothing but I think that Road Warrior is 2.40:1 but Fury Road is 2.35:1

I just noticed there's another tag/label under the big one. Ze plot thickens.

Ah well be curious to hear what went on which is in about...2 hours it starts.
