MOVIE Mad Max 4: Fury Road

As reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, any hope we had for George Miller-directed Mad Max sequels has likely been snuffed by the ugly lawsuit (and counter-suit) between Warner Bros. and the director’s production company. The latter alleges that Warner Bros. withheld key bonuses for delivering the film under-budget and engaged in some creative accounting with regards to financing; for its part, Warner Bros. alleges that production delays caused expenses to eclipse the film’s budget, and it was only by throwing money at the film’s conclusion that the studio was able to salvage the ending. While the specifics of the court filings are new, we’ve been hearing about these legal troubles for months, which indicates how entrenched both sides are in their respective positions. I wouldn’t hold your breath for a fifth Mad Max movie anytime soon.

Are there are two “Fury Road” sequels in the works?

There are two stories, both involving Mad Max, and also a Furiosa story. We’re still solving, we’ve got to play out the Warners thing, it seems to be pretty clear that it’s going to happen.

How did you get into this legal wrangle with Warner Bros. over “Fury Road”?

It all started because of the chaos at Warner Bros. and not Kevin Tsujihara, it was pre all that. He wasn’t the antagonist, because a lot of people didn’t know what was going on and were not prepared to make a definitive stand; everybody was running around fearful, it seems, through three regimes. It was hard to get anyone’s attention, so we went to litigation. The chaos has stabilized and it’s become extremely positive as the dust seems to have settled after [the AT&T merger].

ist ein prequel, welches eine junge furiosa zeigt. von daher wäre theron da eher fehl am platz.

Mir wäre ein Spinoff mit Charlize ja bedeutend lieber gewesen.
