If the apocalypse wasn't hell enough, you have to deal with boy racers!
Looks like Chris Hemsworth's chopper will follow the rules of this world and look both insane and wildly impractical:
Ha, well it wasn’t for me until you posted that.
<edit> though actually I think you might be wrong on that
Will definitely go see it, but have to agree that the majority of the chase and action scenes in the trailer look like terrible CGI, I know there was CGI in the last instalment but the majority of the action scenes showcased in the early trailers for the last one heavily showcased the real live action, and you could tell.
Makes me worry the same level of stunt commitment is not going to be in this one. Hope I'm wrong
Looks good,
Pity that's it's ruined that Thor turns into imortan Joe in the trailer and casting credits on Google.
Looks good, I like mad max
So that's where depressed Thor disappeared to.
Hopefully they clean up the CGI a bit as it looks a whole lot of fun.
Wow, the War Rig looks nice and shiny.
The CGI looks to be used in exactly the same way it was in Fury Road: to completely heighten the "reality" of this world into something almost surreal; cribbing about its presence feels a bit redundant at this stage - when we know how fabulous Miller has made it all look. No way you can claim Fury Road's own was "convincing". I hope he's given the post-production time to make the thing looked as accentuated as he wants.
With the release date still 6 months away, CGI at this stage will always look unfinished. I'm sure it'll be a different kettle of fish in the middle of next year. It's not exactly a departure either, I mean, Fury Road had absolutely TONNES of CGI in it. It's the combination of on-the-ground real vehicles in real locations, ramped up with hugely heightened CGI elements.
the cgi looks cr@p , Mad Max was always about practical effects, honestly looks about on par with the AI generated trailers doing the rounds at the moment
Bloody héll, YES.
Oh yes.
It looks demented and epic, and I'm here for it all the way.
I love Miller's complete rejection of visual verisimilitude for this completely overcranked, plainly CGI enriched look. It's a reminder that CGI itself is never the problem - it's how it's used.
Oh what a day, what a lovely day!
The only blockbuster that matters in 2024, quite frankly. Inject that glorious chrome into my bloodstream.
Thor hamming it up and some dodgy CGI, a lot to live up to from Fury Road but have faith in George Miller
First trailer:
Woof.
Production in Sydney has shut-down as George Miller contracted CoVid. Reads like the earliest it can start up again is Aug 15.
Set photos also revealed the return of
The War Boys.
Well first look at Hemsworth; sporting red hair & prosthetic nose (sorry for the Daily Mail link)
Hmm... I reacted to reading that by thinking Hemsworth feels a bit taller to be IJ.
The official synopsis was released. My guess is Hemsworth will play young Immortan Joe.
As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home
Given Furiosa came from the tribe named after lady parts I suppose you’d expect to see similar bikes to those the old ladies had in Fury Road.
First few set photos from Australia have surfaced; the dirt bikers look familiar and like those from Fury Road. The giant gate is suitably epic.
Good logo.
I'm confident; Miller seems to have entered a small Blank Cheque phase in his septuagenarian years, between this and Three Thousand Years of Longing. Well, this may be more studio mandated, but Fury Road didn't exactly set the box office alight either so would be hopefully Miller has the right amount of creative control.
For better or worse (I personally think for better)...
How'd I forget Bad Times at the El Royale! 😲
He played the villain in Bad Times at the El Royale; that used his status as a handsome man, playing a smiling, charming and manipulative cult leader. I have a sneaking suspicion he'll try and play against type here - given how dirty, mutilated and otherwise crap looking everyone has been in Mad Max films.
Acceptable.
I wonder how he does as a villian and if humour will come into play.
Chris Hemsworth will be the villain
I'll believe it's happening once the cameras start, then stop rolling. After the madness of the Fury Road shoot, the very first attempt being flooded out of Australia, I won't take anything for granted.
That's ageeeees! 😕
2024 release now
