After several false starts, one major budget blowout and a thrillion chuckles, George Millers Mad Max 4 : Fury Road is finally juiced and ready to go. Its production quarters re-opened at Fox Studios in Sydney this week.
One of Movieholes longest - not as in length (well not that we know of) but in terms of how good he has been to us over the years (setting up set visits.. basically giving us access to things we normally couldnt have gotten) friends called today from the lot to let us know that Fury Road has finally got a greenlight, with pre-production commencing immediately.
It sounds as if Miller will be working on this film, and Justice League concurrently the latter is also set up at Fox Studios as well as. Happy Feet 2.
Yep, work has also begun albeit slowly on a sequel to Milllers uber-successful penguin flick but since the first one took four years to make dont look for this one in theatres anytime soon.
Our colleague has discovered that Kennedy Miller is dancing with VFX and animation houses for both Mad Max 4 and Happy Feet 2. As far as I know the plan is to do all the animation for Happy Feet 2 in Australia, but not necessarily at Animal Logic (who did the first one). I'd guess that Mad Max 4 will be shot in Namibia as per the original plans (blown out by the Iraq invasion). In terms of release time - it took 4 years to make the original Happy Feet.
He even speculates that Mad Max 4 : Fury Road will be released before Justice League but thats a guess based on how fast the former seems to be moving forward (and no, he doesnt have any information on Justice League). Of course, they have to find a new 'Mad Max' first - with Miller telling Moviehole recently that he won't be using Mel Gibson again, but a younger face.
This is 100% solid information. The same tipster was the one that broke the news initially that Mad Max 4 had shut down. so start practicing those bike moves peoples, George Miller might just be calling on you shortly.
Thanks Sir Summer
