Mad Max Fury Road

[SoM]

good going hollywood, way to fuck it up yet again

[losCHUNK]

Looks like Britney on a bender, stealing black babies this time ?

new Mad Max tho ?, they already fucked it up with Tina Turner but never the less *dances neked*

[DTS]

If they want to continue the Mad Max story they should make a sequel to Mad Max 2, like Die Hard With a Vengence is a sequel to Die Hard. Anyway, it wouldn't work cause all the vehicles would be different, if it's set after now rather than after the 1980s. They could get over that by just using artistic licence to make it 1980s (and earlier) cars only, but meh...

I needed to find out if they still had the Falcon, cos if they didnt then they had failed already but I found this -

Director George Miller explained that "all the vehicles are kind of hybrid, cobbled together, from the wrecks of the past". Certainly the new look Interceptor progresses the old design along the lines of this description. Beyond that, it remains to be seen how the vehicle will feature in the new film.

some more here, looks like theyre staying true to form

Its also back in Oz and its not sucking on any major studio cock, could this be promising ?... I still doubt it :/

and this better not be anywhere near it -

Look, making a new film with "the Mad Max car" is about as sensible as making a new Knight Rider series with that old 1980s K.I.T.T. car and trying to pass it off as super advanced technology like it was supposed to be in the 80s.

^Moron. The alternative is to have shiny modern cars as product placement, complete with full screen closeups of the grill and badge. Is that a preferred solution for you? Mad Max is post-apocalyptic, they don't have super advanced technology, they have old shit they stuck together with nails, duct tape and a tree branch.

[DTS]

You are making it a bit black and white there...
They use what's left of old vehicles to make their ones. Few vehicles from the 70s or 80s are left around now, unlike when the 2 first Mad Max films were made. Post apocolyptic set after NOW would use old vehicles of today.

You completely missed my point about "advanced technology"; that was about Knight Rider, not Mad Max

Edit: Allow me to clarify: After the supposed "apocalypse" few vehicles would be left, which would be whatever vehicles were most common just before the apocalypse, NOT some rare 30-year-old cars (that's what 1980s cars are, since this is the 2010s) that in present reality have mostly been scrapped. Look what people drive now, if that shit went down, you wouldn't somehow be left with relics of the 1980s and 1970s to build your cars from, you'd be using what there is NOW. Why is it so hard for you to realise that they drove those vehicles cause Mad Max 1&2 are 1979-1980s films?!

dude calm down , after the 1st film, which if I remember was the post apocalypse you had cars from every decade, even in the 1st one you had chevrolets from the 50s, with most of them being cobbled together messes to make a buggy or someshit.... so id expect to see newer cars, just that film had 2 stars, the car and Mel and seeing as the 3rd sucked so much with just Mel in it, im inclined to think the car is the bigger star

It could also because that film had my favourtie on screen car ?, and if they remade KITT in anyting other than a trans am your better off renaming the film

[Mogul]

THEY NEED TO CONSULT MASTER DESIGNER TIM WILLITS FOR THIS

although they did remake knight rider with a completely new car that morphed into different shitty-looking american vehicles and a team instead of one guy. it made the original series look like fucking shakespeare.

afaik this is a sequel rather than a reboot, which would mean doing their best to stick with the original aesthetic of mad max in favour of something too modern, unless they want to lose half of the franchise's appeal. also - mass scrappage was a thoroughly irresponsible and recent UK scheme to fill the roads up with new cars. if whatever institution that deals with your care ever lets you go abroad on holiday, you'll see that there are still plenty of very old cars on the road. vehicles pre-dating 2000 probably outnumber new cars if you're looking at the regions that haven't been nuked to buggery in the mad max universe.

will have to wait for the trailer. if it features a character who's good with computers, a camp character (instead of the openly gay, typical australian characters of 1 and 2) or max is driving the ford wangtip 9000 then you can be fairly sure it will be awful. according to google, it's the fifth or sixth attempt to go into production and it's got the standard hollywood shafting of being turned into a new trilogy with parts being shot back to back, so financially the signs aren't good.

that said, tom hardy and charlize theron are in it - they're both brilliant at what they do, they've both signed up for genre movies that haven't lived up to their efforts and they deserve a break. george miller is writing/directing/producing again, having walked off of thunderdome to mourn a dead friend (even with tina turner, that would've been a much better movie if he'd directed the whole thing) so the potential's there. there's a big market for this sort of thing, if the backers are brave enough then it could be really good.

I hate that scrappage scheme, fucking joke, a lot of future classics went to waste , Ive seen some of the shit theyve done to cars in Africa to keep them on the road, they have a much better recycling policy

youd also think that the older cars would be better for post apocalypse, because you dont need a computer to work out why the engine warning light come on as the engine cut out, whilst being chased down by a queer with a mohawk

I went abroad last year and there were at least as high a percentage new cars where I went as in the UK, just more of them were cars made in that country

Don't know what they have in Australia, though (didn't go there), that is where Mad Max is set, isn't it? Top Gear were saying before that Australia only make about 3 cars. Is that so? Course they may import a lot.

afaik this is a sequel rather than a reboot, which would mean doing their best to stick with the original aesthetic of mad max in favour of something too modern

Like I said before, they could do that under "artistic license" but it would make the film "meh" Basically, it's way too late for a sequel. It's set in the future, that means after NOW, not after 1979, so going with a 1980s aesthetic just woud make it look like some alternate reality B.S. rather than something set in the future in THIS reality. I.e. set after the tech we have NOW rather than the tech we had in the 1980s

P.S.
Idk where you got the idea that I might not be allowed to go abroad, you must be smoking some shit.

[obsidian]

Pretty cool, so you must be in one of those progressive treatment institutions then.

[DTS]

You must be a moron... Oh wait, I already knew that!

[losCHUNK]

think hes trying to say the 70s or 80s wasnt in our reality, not sure tho

I think the ozzys just have Holden though ?, they have their own cars like the 70s Falcon which was made by Ford's Australian division and not availiable elsewhere, theyre right hand drive so no point in modifying them for different markets, which also makes it difficult for other markets (like Ford USA)... kinda liek what European manufactures do to Britain sometimes when converting from left to right hand drive and not bothering.

pretty sure Holden even use Ford engines n all so would guess their shite is mostly imported, also hear that Toyota has its own division there. I dont think much has changed with this set up since Mad Max 1&2 ?
