The cast and crew endured a gruelling, action-packed shoot in Namibia and fans of the MAD MAX franchise have waited with bated, post-apocalyptic breath over decades for the latest adventure of their tortured hero, a certain Mr. Rockatansky.
Well, the dark dream finally came to fruition in the warm but far less hostile climes of LA last night, as the premiere of FURY ROAD battered an eager audience…
The biggest surprise of the night was an appearance by “Classic Max” Mel Gibson. He was rumoured to be cameoing in FURY ROAD, but while that didn’t happen he was clearly happy to lend his support to director George Miller and new star Tom Hardy…
Charlize Theron shook off the encrusted dirt and terrible teeth of her character Imperator Furiosa to wow the press...
Nicholas Hoult (Nux) brooded before the flashbulbs…
Model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley did her bit to brighten the bleak futuristic horizon…
And last but not least Zoe Kravitz cracked up at Hardy’s unexpected humorous side…
Miller must have been thanking his lucky stars the long-gestating project had come together, with expectation as high as a head on a spike for the fourth chapter…
The story sees Max teaming up with the crew of a mighty War Rig, fleeing across the oil-starved scorchery they call home, pursued by the fearsome Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne).
The legacy of Max Rockatansky lives on when MAD MAX: FURY ROAD smashes through cinema doors on May 14th.
