Merrick here...
Supermodels. James Bond screws 'em, flirts with 'em, and sometimes shoots them. Michael Bay objectifies them and sometimes tries to 'splode them. So how will the inimitable George Miller incorporate supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw...
...into his soon-to-shoot MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, starring Tom Hardy as titular hero Max Rockatansky?
Per THIS piece over at the Telegraph...
A well-placed film source said: "Obviously it's set in a post-apocalyptic world, and women, especially beautiful women, are scarce, so men have been locking them up in cages. Abbey is one of them. She's perfect."
Paraphrasing: "she's perfect to lock up in a cage." Wow. Nice.
Telegraph also indicates that Kershaw may actually be replacing the previously announced Theresa Palmer in the film...although HER role may have been the part filled by Charlize Theron. We'll clear up this confusion as we learn more...
I recall this possible story line being discussed here long ago. I still think it's a shallow plot device pandering to an image driven society. However I will hold my judgment until after I see what they do with it.
Well if its true, it kinda follows the previous 2 films (MM2 and MM3) where Max finds himself an unwitting partner in helping out a bunch of stragglers who want to move on to a better life somewhere.... Maybe just maybe Max wont know anything about who he is saving until the last minute? (same way he found the sand in the tanker after the roll over)
given that they were killing women for fun in RW, i don't think it'd really fit the world that women are now important. if populations were overly low, any women that could bear child would be important, regardless of looks. of course, the new "Kings" would keep the prettiest for themselves.
