Meanwhile - in MAD MAX 4 aka FURY ROAD - casting begins fleshing out sans Mel thus far...

Hey folks, Harry here with the MAD MAX: FURY ROAD news - which sadly doesn't seem to be starring the COLD WARRIOR from Shane Black's same titled film. Instead... Why looky! TOM HARDY looks to be playing Max - as the film is set shortly after the demise of Master Blaster. Also - the film will have Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens. At least that is according to the Hollywood Reporter, as written by the masterful Borys Kit. Tom Hardy turned in one of the most brilliant performances of 2009, So I'm all for him - hope Charlize has a great character. How bout y'all? Are y'all just going to call it lame cuz Mel's a no show? Me, I'm behind George Miller - all the way!
