MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the long awaited 4th instalment in the popular dystopian franchise. It sees Tom Hardy take on the role of Max from Mel Gibson, who may not be the best leader of a franchise these days. The trailer shows Hardy in captivity for the most of it, while Charlize Theron leads a band of women through the hellish landscape. This is an astonishingly action packed trailer filled with the kind of excessive car chasing and smashing we would expect. Granted, the inclusion of CGI effects is commonplace these days, but when an older franchise is brought back without a reliance on practical effects, it does take some getting used to.
George Miller, the man behind HAPPY FEET, directs, and I suppose it’s worth mentioning the versatile Aussie was also responsible for the original MAD MAX trilogy. This will hopefully lend a lot of consistency to the approach and give us the dark and action fuelled feature we’re craving.
Here’s your trailer and we’ve just added the posters below:
