If you were hoping to see another Mad Max film from the franchises long time director George Miller, you may be disappointed by the latest news.
Speaking to New Yorks Post’s Page 6, the Fury Road director explained:
“I won’t make more ‘Mad Max’ movies. ‘Fury Road’ with Charlize Theron, Zoë Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Riley Keough was forever getting completed. If you finish one in a year, it’s considered a leap of faith. Start, stop, start again.”
This seems to corroborate previous reports from stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron who both described the shoot as being ‘Frustrating’. Miller went on to explain his reasoning, telling the interviewer:
“I’ve shot in Australia in a field of wild flowers and flat red earth when it rained heavily forever. We had to wait 18 months and every return to the US was 27 hours. Those ‘Mad Maxes’ take forever. I won’t do those anymore.”
This will definitely come as a blow to fans of the previous films, but of course this could always leave him open for other projects at Warner Brothers, *Cough* Man of Steel *Cough*
