Mad Max 4: First Look

[Monster Dave]

Looks like a prequil is in the works (since the interceptor was completely destroyed in the last movie)...pretty far along to if the cars are already built.



Casting is still up in the air, but the movie's being backed by Warner Brothers on a 100 million dollar budget!

Keep your hopes up, but this could be good!

That's it!? Argh! I want more!

Does it have Shia LaBeouf in it?

LOL, no, the only unconfirmed rumor that I heard has been that offers were made to Sam Wirthington and Charlize Theron.  We'll see what happens.

Interesting moto-tid-bit:

In the first Mad-Max movie (I believe it was the first one....) when Max is hauling ass down the highway and then pulled the lever (or pushed the button I forget) to start up the supercharger....

Actually, the technology to start up a supercharger like that WHILE the engine was running didn't exist at the time they shot the movie.  They showed the footage of the supercharger pulley beginning to turn as they started the engine up from a dead stop.

[/tid-bit]

As far as this movie goes:  It'll either kick-ass or suck.  There will be no more 'Meh'.  Hollywood will assure of that.

more bit of tid: it was a completely fake supercharger.

I'm dubious, but I'll go see it if/when it arrives.

I was pretty skeptical about the newest Star Trek, given the past few, but they managed to make it work.

Also in sequels news (though it may have been mentioned on the forum already, not sure): Rambo 5.

I'm up for it with the hope that it will be a more effective feature worthy of the Rambo title rather than just a slaughter.

Speaking of movies, check out the long trailer for The Expendables (the best part is about 2:17sec - Ivan Drago vs Jet Li)

Is Mel Gibson involved in Mad Max 4?

Since it's most likely a prequel, you can expect that he's out.

[Pedro-bot]

Was that a Desmo in the Expendables clip?

[Buckethead]

I would still really, really, really like to have a supercharger with an on/off switch.

Electromagnetic A/C compressor clutch maybe?

Mad Max wasn't mad till they killed his family and he didn't get the black Interceptor until the end of that movie so how can it be a prequel?  Unless it's just going to fill in between Mad Max and Road Warrior and show his move from suburbia to the wastelands?

Wonder if we'll see a bunch of old Kawi and Zook 750's? (and 1000's)

I'm only assuming that it's a prequel because the interceptor was totally destroyed in the 2nd movie.

On a side note, I collect 1:18 scale diecast Hollywood move/TV cars, and look a what my sweetie bought me to add to the collection:
