#NEW MAD MAX SERIES#

The series has also had a significant influence on popular culture, most notably apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, and encompasses works in additional media, including video games and comic books. The series has been well received by critics, with each film marked 'Certified Fresh' on the film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes Mad Max 2 and Fury Road in particular have been ranked among the best action films ever made. As Australia devolves further into barbarity, Max finds himself helping pockets of civilisation, initially for his own self-interest, but his motives always drift into more altruistic ones. When his wife and child are murdered by a vicious biker gang, Max kills them in revenge and becomes a drifting loner in the Wasteland. The series follows the adventures of Rockatansky, a police officer in a future Australia which is experiencing societal collapse due to war and critical resource shortages. Mel Gibson portrayed the titular character Max Rockatansky in the first three films, while Tom Hardy portrayed the character in Mad Max: Fury Road. It began in 1979 with Mad Max, and was followed by three sequels: Mad Max 2 (1981, released in the United States as The Road Warrior), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Miller directed or co-directed all four films. Man doesn’t suddenly give up his need for that sort of nourishment just because it’s the end of the world.Mad Max is an Australian post-apocalyptic dystopian action film series and media franchise created by George Miller and Byron Kennedy. We kept looking for things that had a poetry or a beauty in them. “If you’re going to bother to save something, to drag it back across the desert and to rebuild it, then it has to have an inner beauty. All the computerized vehicles, all the carbon fiber, and the present contemporary stuff just wasn’t gonna cut it in terms of battle.” Gibson also emphasizes beauty as well as durability. That means that anything that you couldn’t fix with a stick or a pair of panty hose probably wasn’t going to make it. “It had to be strong and repurposed for war. “We asked ourselves, ‘If the Armageddon starts next Wednesday, what’s going to survive?’” says Gibson. The materials used in the production could all be traced back to their pre-apocalypse origins. You generally needed a couple of goes at that.” There were 88 distinct characters, but we built about 150 because we needed doubles and sometimes triples of things that had to do specific stunts, like when they’re hurtling through the air while on fire. Gibson’s team used the salvaged parts of 350 cars to custom build the film’s detailed vehicles. “To tie us to the area where we had filmed the exterior, I took high-resolution images of the natural canyons, and we pulled molds and colored them to match the actual rock and stone that was there.” It wasn’t until almost eight months later that we rebuilt it in an empty reservoir in Sydney and shot there by building a fake wall and putting in fake waterfalls and pools.” The cavernous interiors were fabricated from fake stone. We built it in Namibia in a dry river canyon, but schedule-wise we didn’t manage to shoot that and had to strip it out. The Citadel was filmed in Namibia, Sydney, and Capetown and combined sets, locations, and visual effects. So instead of looking at the previous films, we really envisioned the story as a fall back towards fascism and feudalism as civilization fell apart.” Basically, he wanted it to have a really strong underpinning of logic and truth. “That was his greatest fear-that imagery he’d done 30 years prior had been devalued and clichéd and had been beaten around the head a little bit too much, so he was desperate to avoid the same thing. “George did not want not to repeat himself,” Gibson says. Fury Road is the fourth film in the Mad Max franchise, and, according to Gibson, it was important to chart new territory. Gibson began working on the film in 2000, before there was even a script. Production designer Colin Gibson was tasked with creating the postapocalyptic world, from vehicles built from salvage to the cavernous Citadel. Together they try to outrun Joe’s armada and find safety for the Wives. Along the way she encounters Mad Max (Tom Hardy), who is also fleeing the Citadel, a fortress controlled by Immortan Joe. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) sets out to save five women held captive as wives of the warlord Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), taking them and fleeing across the barren landscape to a promised land she remembers from childhood called the Green Place.

In director George Miller’s latest film, Mad Max: Fury Road, 45 years have passed since the fall of civilization, and the world has become a chaotic wasteland where water and gasoline are rare and precious commodities.
