Mad max 412/31/2023 ![]() ![]() In a pretty cool twist, Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played Toecutter, the leader of the killer biker gang from the very first Mad Max movie, has returned to the series once again to take on the role of yet another baddie, Immortan Joe. This is arguably a good thing for the gritty nature of the film, and while her performance is strong, we’re not sure it’ll be enough to garner a second Oscar for the actress. She doesn’t quite put herself through the extremes of a Monster-like makeover, but she’s definitely not been given a glamourous role to deliver. The movie has also cast Charlize Theron ( The Road) as the leading lady, Imperator Furiosa. Check out the grim adrenaline rush of action in the trailer below to see that his starring role is far from being anything but high impact, with doubts about the prospect of the movie going on to be smashed in Hardy’s relentless wake. Tom Hardy ( Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2009), The Dark Knight Rises) takes on the lead role of Max Rockatansky, taking over from Mel Gibson, who had the role in all three of the previous movies. It’s a brutal chase movie out in the desolate wasteland of post-apocalyptic Australia and Max, Furiosa and their delicate cargo of escapees have got the odds stacked firmly against him. This time around, he’s trying to help a band of runaway breeder wives cross the desert safely, as they try to escape from the villainy of the crazy, white-haired, masked devil of the dunes, Immortan Joe. ![]() As with the previous films, the latest installment will see Max Rockatansky facing the vicious gangs of the desert in an ongoing bid for his own survival and in the latest installment he teams up with the mechanical-armed determination of renegade big-rig driver, Imperitor Furiosa (Charlize Thereon) to get the job done. Little was known about the details of the Mad Max Fury Road plot, however, with the trailer doing the rounds and the film release at the cinemas we’ve finally got a better understanding of what exactly is going on with the storyline. The DVD, Blu-ray and digital download release date for the film has been confirmed for the 21st September 2015 in the UK following on from the US release on the 1st September. There’s not much in it in terms of the overall visual impact of the film in either 2D or 3D, so don’t feel like you’ve missed out on too much if you opt to watch is in standard view. It’s US and UK release date eventually took place on the 15th May 2015, and while the lengthy gestation period has been a little on the frustrating side, the end product has benefited from the extra time spent on it, with the film looking every bit the epic post-apocalyptic return fans of the original movies were hoping for. ![]() While it was originally earmarked for release in 2012, and looked likely to be coming to the cinemas in summer 2014, production took a lot longer than had been expected. You’ve only go to take a look at the movie still above to get a taste of the blistering scale of the film, which is shaping up to to be one of the big releases of the year and with Tom Hardy behind the wheel of the turbo charged, V8 Pursuit Special it’s gone on to be a full throttle action adventure. Following on from the doldrums of a few years of rumour and development it eventually landed with an impressive trailer in 2014 that pitched it as a modern day Road Warrior and now that it has been released we can say for sure that it’s an impressive return for the George Miller series. Mad Max Fury Road is a direct sequel to the post-apocalyptic trilogy that so many of us grew up with and it hit the big screen in 2015. ![]()
