Bertrand Cadart (Clunk) told me that the first Mad Max was around 2010. Because George Miller told him, during the shooting, that the movie was set about 35 years in the future.

Oh god, does this mean people are going to think Hugh Keays-Byrne's new character is really Toecutter, somehow survived being squashed by a lorry??? Maybe that explains his name "Immortan Joe" = Imortal Toe.
If miller didn't want it to be the same character, he should have cast it with a different person. period. i'd accept it if it were a different 'universe' (eg the matrix)
The Mad Max movies are just like Spaghetti Westerns. Some actors are returning in different roles. Klaus Kinski and lee Van Cleef did. Even Clint Eastwood played different chars with the same costume.
I could probably make it on my own, but I like you kids.
