Ease On Down, Ease On Down FURY ROAD!! MAD MAX 4 Appears To Be Revving Up Again!!


Merrick here...

Moviehole says production offices for MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (love that title) have been reopened, and The Powers That Be are said to be scoping out effects houses as a pre-cursor to production.

You can read the original report HERE.

Moviehole says Mel Gibson will not be back. We've previously heard suggestions that the part of Max Rockatansky would be summarily recast so that the franchise can continue (a la James Bond).

The obvious question here is: how does this impact the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie George Miller is supposed to be directing, if at all? For my money, I'd rather see (even a Gibson-less) MAX over JL 90210...but maybe that's just me.
