Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action film directed, produced, and co-written by George Miller, and the fourth film of Miller's Mad Max franchise. The first film of the franchise in 30 years, Fury Road stars Tom Hardy as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, making it also the first Mad Max film not to feature Mel Gibson in the title role. The film also stars Charlize Theron.

The film had its world premiere on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. On 14 May it will begin wide theatrical release including an out-of-competition screening at the 68th Cannes Film Festival.

Premise

In the year 2060, after a series of catastrophic worldwide calamities caused the downfall of civilization, Max, a former highway patrolman whose family was killed in the early days of the societal collapse, meets Furiosa, a woman attempting to cross an immense desert.[5] With her are former female captives collectively known as the Five Wives. They are on the run from the tyrannical Fascist leader, King Immortan Joe and his bloodthirsty military force, the War Boys, who rule over a totalitarian desert kingdom called the Wasteland. Joe wants the Wives back because they are fertile enough to breed the next generation of the human race to be remade in Joe's twisted image.

Their only hope of reaching safety is Max and his expansive knowledge of the desert's many dangers. Max initially refuses, but when he is captured and tortured by Joe, his only chance of escape depends on Furiosa and the Wives. With the War Boys in hot pursuit, this unlikely band must fight for their survival.[6]

Production

Development

Plans for the fourth film of the Mad Max series hit financial difficulties and the project spent around 25 years in "development hell".[7] The idea of a fourth installment occurred to Miller in August 1998 when he was walking in an intersection in Los Angeles.[8] About a year later, while travelling from Los Angeles to Australia, the idea coalesced. Miller conceived of a story where "violent marauders were fighting, not for oil or for material goods, but for human beings."[8] The movie was all set to shoot in 2001, but was postponed due to the collapse of the World Trade Center that same year. "The American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar, and our budget ballooned," Miller said that he "had to move on to Happy Feet, because there was a small window when that was ready." Mel Gibson, who starred in the original three previous films was also set to reprise his role as the lead character. However, the infamous incidents that followed the years didn't permit him to.[8] George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.[9] Although the project was given the green light for a US$100 million budget to begin filming in Australia in May 2003, Mad Max 4 entered hiatus due to security concerns related to trying to film in Namibia because the United States and many other countries had tightened travel and shipping restrictions.[10] With the outbreak of the Iraq War, Mad Max 4 was abandoned as it was considered a potentially politically sensitive film. Although Mel Gibson had been cast to return as Max, he lost interest after production was cancelled.[10]

Director George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.

In November 2006, Miller stated that he intended to make Fury Road, and considered doing the film without Gibson: "There's a real hope. The last thing I wanted to do is another Mad Max, but this script came along, and I'm completely carried away with it."[11][12] The film's screenplay was co-written with cult British comic creator Brendan McCarthy, who also designed many of the new characters and vehicles.[13] Miller again confirmed his intention to make another Mad Max at the 2007 Aurora film maker initiative. However, he stated that he thought Mel Gibson would not be interested in the film because of his age.[14][15] Heath Ledger was reportedly considered for the lead before he died from abuse of prescribed medications in 2008.[8] On 5 March 2009, it was announced that an R-rated 3D animated feature film was in pre-production and would be taking much of the plot from Fury Road,[16] although Mel Gibson would not be in the film and Miller was looking for a "different route", a "renaissance" of the franchise.[16] Miller cited the film Akira as an inspiration for what he wanted to do with the franchise. George Miller was also developing an action-adventure tie-in video game based on the fourth film, along with God of War II video game designer Cory Barlog. Both projects were expected to take two to two-and-a-half years, according to Miller, with a release date of either 2011 or 2012. The Fury Road film was going to be produced at Dr.D Studios, a digital art studios founded in 2008 by George Miller and Doug Mitchell.[16]

On 18 May 2009, it was reported that location scouting was underway for Mad Max 4.[17] After exploring the possibility of an animated 3D film, George Miller decided instead to shoot a 3D live action film, and at this point plans to make the animated film were immediately dropped, and by May 2009, location scouting for the Mad Max sequel had begun.[17] An Australian press said in May 2009: "MAD [sic] Max is revving up for a long-awaited return to the big screen, almost 25 years after Tina Turner ran Mel Gibson out of Bartertown. Director George Miller is gearing up to shoot the fourth film in the ground-breaking Aussie road warrior franchise, industry sources say. Scouting for locations is under way for the movie, which many thought would never get off the ground. It could go into production later this year."[18]

In October 2009, Miller announced that that filming of Fury Road would commence at Broken Hill, New South Wales in early 2011, ending years of speculation.[19] This announcement attracted widespread media attention in Australia, with speculation at that time on whether Mel Gibson would return as Max.[20] That same month, British actor Tom Hardy was in negotiations to take the lead role of Max, while it was also announced that Charlize Theron would also play a major role in the film.[21] In June 2010, Hardy (who was just 6 weeks old when the orginal Mad Max began shooting) announced on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross that he would play the title role in a new version of Mad Max.[22][8] In July 2010, Miller announced plans to shoot two Mad Max films back-to-back, entitled Mad Max: Fury Road and Mad Max: Furiosa.[23] In November 2011, filming was moved from Broken Hill to Namibia, after unexpected heavy rains turned the desert there into a lush landscape of wildflowers, inappropriate for the look of the movie.[24]

In a July 2014 interview at Comic-Con, Miller said he designed the film in storyboard form before writing the screenplay, working with five storyboard artists. It came out as about 3,500 panels, almost the same number of shots as in the finished film. He wanted the film to be almost a continuous chase, with relatively little dialogue, and to have the visuals come first.[25] Paraphrasing Hitchcock, Miller said that he wanted the film to be understood in Japan without the use of subtitles.[26]

Filming

Principal photography began in July 2012 in Namibia.[27] Filming also took place at Potts Hill and Penrith Lakes in Western Sydney.[28] In October 2012, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Warner Bros. sent an executive to keep the production on track.[29] The filming wrapped on 17 December 2012[30] and lasted for 120 days.[31] In February 2013, a leaked draft from the Namibian Coast Conservation and Management group accused the producers of damaging parts of the Namib Desert, endangering a number of plant and animal species.[32][33] However, the Namibia Film Commission said it had "no reservations" after visiting the set during production. It disputed claims reported in the media, calling the accusations "unjust rhetoric".[34] In September 2013, it was announced that the film would undergo reshoots in November 2013.[35]

Filming was orginally set to take place in Broken Hill, Australia where the previous Mad Max movies were shot. However, due to the rain which made Miller and the cast and crew wait 18 months, production shifted to Africa. [31]

Cinematographer John Seale, who came out of retirement to shoot Fury Road,[36] outfitted his camera crew with six Arri Alexas, as well as a number of Canon EOS 5Ds that were used as crash cams for the action sequences.[37]

In July 2014, director George Miller described the film as "a very simple allegory, almost a western on wheels".[38] Miller claimed that 90% of the effects were practical.[39] Second unit director and supervising stunt coordinator Guy Norris was in charge of over 150 stunt performers, which included Cirque du Soleil performers and Olympic athletes.[40][36]

Post-production

The lead visual effects company for Mad Max: Fury Road was Iloura, who delivered more than 1,500 effects shots for the film.[41] Additional visual effects studios that worked on the film include Method Studios, Stereo D, 4DMax, BlackGinger, The Third Floor, and Dr. D Studios.[42][43] The film contains about 2,700 cuts of its entire running length, which is equivalent to 22.5 cuts per minute compared The Road Warrior's 120 cuts of its 90-minute running time equivalent to 1.333 cuts per minute.[44]

Weta Digital was originally involved with the film when it was scheduled for a 2012 release.[45] The company was to be handling visual effects, conceptual designs, specialty make-up effects, and costume designs until production was postponed from its November 2010 start date.[46]

Music

The musical score for Mad Max: Fury Road was composed by Junkie XL.[47] Prior to Junkie XL's involvement, John Powell and Marco Beltrami were attached at separate times to score the film.[48][49] After hearing Junkie XL's score for 300: Rise of an Empire,[50] Miller met with the composer in Sydney. "I got very inspired and started writing pieces of music for scenes," said Junkie XL. "The initial main themes were written in the four weeks after that first meeting and those themes never changed."[51] A soundtrack album is scheduled to be released by WaterTower Music on 12 May 2015.[52]

Release

Mad Max: Fury Road had its world premiere on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.[53] On 14 May 2015, it will screen out-of-competition at the 68th Cannes Film Festival,[54] and will be released in theaters on 15 May 2015.[55] Leading up its release, the film was digitally re-mastered into the IMAX 3D format. It will be released into IMAX theaters in select international territories on 13 May 2015.[56]

Beginning 20 May 2015, Vertigo will release three comic book prequels, one per month, that detail the backstory for a character in the film. A hardcover collection of art inspired by the film will be released 6 May 2015.[57]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, the film will open across 3,702 theaters including 7 IMAX locations and 360 large-format screens on Friday, 15 May alongside Pitch Perfect 2.[58]

Outside North America, it will be released in more than 16,000 overseas screens of which about 200 will be IMAX and 300 4D screens. It will start its international roll out on Thursday, 14 May in 48 overseas markets including France, Germany, Korea, Russia and Australia and will add a further 20 territories on Friday, including the UK, Spain and Mexico.[58]

Critical response

Mad Max: Fury Road has received positive reviews.[59] According to the review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 98% approval rating and an average score of 8.9/10 based on 60 reviews. The site's consensus reads, "With exhilarating action and a surprising amount of narrative heft, Mad Max: Fury Road brings George Miller's post-apocalyptic franchise roaring vigorously back to life."[60] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 88 out of 100 based on 21 reviews.[61]

Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film a full five stars and praised the film for its acting, screenplay, choreography, stunts, humor and direction calling the film a "spiritual sequel" and an "eruption of craziness."[62] Writing for The Guardian and awarding the film four stars out of five, Peter Bradshaw wrote, "Extravagantly deranged, ear-splittingly cacophonous, and entirely over the top, George Miller has revived his Mad Max punk-western franchise as a bizarre convoy chase action-thriller in the post-apocalyptic desert."[63] The New York Times wrote, "Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary — even the fourth in a series. What a lovely day, indeed."[64] Scott Mendelson of Forbes gave the film 10/10 stars and wrote, "Mad Max: Fury Road is a remarkable and glorious motion picture, not just one of the great action movies of our time but also a great and timely film, period."[65] Alonso Duralde of The Wrap wrote, "In the same way that the original 1979 Mad Max was the Citizen Kane of gut-bucket Australian exploitation cinema, Mad Max: Fury Road may well be the Götterdämmerung of drive-in movies. It has its roots in the Western and the post-apocalyptic road-rage action saga [...], where Miller dares anyone else to follow in his tire treads."[66] IGN reviewer Scott Collura gave the film 9.2 out of 10, saying: "The over-the-top stunts and eccentric characters and designs are all hugely important to Fury Road, ... but it's the overriding sense of the film's uniqueness, its striving to be something more than just another action movie, that is most impressive."[67]

Fan Criticism

The film is being criticized by some for what they perceive as its political agenda. This criticism has been primarily fueled by the film's use of Vagina Monologues author Eve Ensler as a consultant and the trailer's conspicuous allocation of screen time to Charlize Theron's character over the supposed protagonist, played by Tom Hardy.[68]

Sequels

Miller and McCarthy found during the writing process for Fury Road that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. One of these, entitled Mad Max: Furiosa, has already been completed, and Miller hopes to film it after the release of Fury Road.[69] In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire magazine, Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in four more Mad Max films following Fury Road.[70] In May 2015, Miller told Wired magazine, "Should [Mad Max: Fury Road] be successful, I’ve got two other stories to tell."[71]
