Mad Max: Fury Road is an upcoming 2013 film, the fourth installment in the action movie Mad Max franchise and will succeed the events of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. The film will be directed by George Miller, and stars Tom Hardy in the pivotal role of Max Rockatansky, with Charlize Theron co-starring in the role of Furiosa.
Plot
Mad Max: Fury Road takes place shortly after Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, following again Max Rockatansky. Further plot developments remain unknown.
Development
Initially conceived shortly after Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road or Mad Max 4 failed to launch on multiple occasions. Miller announced a screenplay had been written in 2003, but it was put on hiatus at the beginning of the Iraq war for fear its release would be insensitive. Miller confirmed continued interest regardless in 2006 and again in 2009, when he finally announced the film would begin shooting in 2011 and would release sometime in 2013.
