Mad Max 4 good and bad news.

[rockatansky4073]

Yeah its hard isn't it, i've tried in the past to think about a MAD MAX related story not involving MAX, but it just don't work.


The only time i'd accept a non MEL MAX, is a TV series.


Then again the STAR WARS fans got CARAVAN OF COURAGE didn't they.


And remember US MARSHALS? the spin off of THE FUGITIVE?


Maybe we can have a MAD MAX : THE RISE OF HUMUNGUS.

All I can say is.. "We'll have to wait & see."





As I've said before, even though it'd be better if Mel was cast (& wanted to play the part) I'd rather see the part Recast than have Mell play the part & not want to.





Maybe it'll suck, maybe not.


Let's keep an open mind.





We're all cool enough to do that, aren't we?

I tell ya what, i'd love to see an animated series, like they did with SPAWN and STARSHIP TROOPERS, that would be badass, they could invent new marauders, and noone would care, cause it wouldn't interfere with the movies.

A prequel wouldn't work ar you could go a maxium 3 years earlier and it would be impossible to find a young Mel actor.


A sequel wouldn't work with out Mel Gibson!

Frankly, I am just so anxious to see a new movie I would almost be willing to let Mell gibson go. Seriously, as a fan of the movies in chronological order, first was the best, Thunderdom....sigh (shakes head).. Frankly I wonder if the fourth will even be that interesteing as sequal. Now If its a prequal between 1 and 2 or before 1 that would be excellent. However wihout Mel as mad max maybe the movies will shift focus to a side character like Goose. (oh yeh..) However even still I would definitely be wllling to see a prequal about mad max not starring mel gibson, it would hurt an id be really sad, but if Mel gibson is out then hes out, when cant force him to do it, and therefore we'll have to work with what we have. Besides, mel gibson is slowly becoming less and less our heart warming homespun hero from Galipoli and mad Max and more and more something...else...(i mean The Passion...etc)





So in conclusion, if mel gibson wont do it, then I believe we must go forward with what we do have, and leave our fate in the hands of Miller....and pray

After reading this, from darkhorizons:


"As a British citizen myself, I can understand why the country gets in an uproar over American filmmakers screwing around with Hollywood-ised versions of English history. Now, an Aussie turned Yank filmmaker is about to get us foreigners upset again - yes potentially more so than over that whole "U-571" debacle.



[/font]http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/#2The IMDb reports that Mel Gibson's forthcoming film about Britain's warrior queen Boudicca is guaranteed to cause fury amongst feminists and historians, experts predict. Folklorists believe Gibson - whose controversial The Passion Of The Christ movie sparked uproar among Jewish groups this year - faces widespread criticism in his efforts to bring Boudicca to the big screen, because she remains an enigma to historians.



Scholars are also convinced feminists will attack Gibson if he fails to portray Boudicca as the icon they have turned her into. Folklorist Dr Juliette Wood, "Take any figure where there's been emotional investment and you're going to annoy someone. We know so little about her and yet she has been turned into a meta-historical icon.

We can fairly say goodbye to mad max and probably be preapared to Fury Road only.[/font]

an animated series .....that idea rocks!!!!!......i thought about posting that 3 weeks ago.... but figured all the die hard mad maxers would banish me to shovel sh*t in underworld

[rockatansky4073]

sh*t no, dude, most of us are thinking the same thing, An animated series would not do anything at all to damage the series, unless of course it was called MAD MAX 4.


It'd be completely different, and wouldn't matter if we had MEL or not, and just think, all the cool characters from MM 2 (cause personally i'd rather base the series on ROAD WARRIOR) could survive for like 20 episodes, sh*t they could make a small matter like going and getting the MACK and bringing it back to the compound, go for two episodes, if they wanted.


Hell, they could even get MAX and WARRIOR WOMAN laid

[mac afee]

personally id like to see a background story on the gayboy beserkers....or bad cops....i personally still think they are ex m.f.p.....

[Redd4]

An animated series could be cool. Just no cute, talking animal sidekicks, or psychedelic musical numbers
