Pre-Production Starting on Mad Max 4

October 24, 2009

Just a few days after it was reported that Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are in the running to star in George Miller's fourth Mad Max movie, The Daily Telegraph says that work on the film will start immediately and that filming will take place in Sydney and Outback NSW.

The newspaper says that a lot of the work will be done at Redfern's CarriageWorks and there will also be 30 weeks of filming in Broken Hill. It is estimated the whole project will take two-and-a-half years to complete.

Miller said: "The production agreements have been a long time in the making and Premier Rees and his team have worked like Trojans to ensure this substantial investment comes into this country. Not only does it help fuel the local economy but it means many talented people get a chance to practice their craft and lift their skills."

CarriageWorks will be used for the development work for the film, as well as Miller's Happy Feet 2.

Filming is expected to start next year.

Well, there hasn't been word that Gibson was on board, so I guess not.

I love his bet movie Braveheart and Lethal Weapon 1 and 2 were awesome. Gibson hasn't had a real hit in a decade. He is an arrogant idiot to not return to the movie that made him a star.

Instead he would rather be a weirdo in a movie carrying a hand puppet. LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they're going through with this. Mad Max 4? Damn what happened to Charlize Theron's career? She was on a high after Monster then has made absolute crap ever since.

Like Gibson said in Lethal Weapon, "Im too old for this S**t" So Gibson should just keep on directing and stop being an actor.

Um . . . let's hope that this Mad Max, while driving his nitrogen-fueled patrol car, doesn't get pulled over for a DUI, and make godawful anti-Semitic remarks.
