Director George Miller is cutting no corners with his return to the action genre franchise. Mad Max: Fury Road persists on offering moviegoers with extensive trailers and clips for the director's long-awaited follow-up to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
This could be the final Mad Max: Fury Road teaser before the movie opens in two weeks from now. The dystopian travel guide begins with a gagged Max Rockatansky being strapped at the front of a speeding vehicle in a virtual road wasteland. Then the Road Warrior engages in a violent fistfight with the other protagonist in the movie, the mysterious Furiosa while a band of young women oversee their battle. The video closes with both main characters settling their differences as they make a daring breakout amidst the throng of goons lead by Immortan Joe's right hand man, Nux.
Just like the previous Mad Max: Fury Road teaser, it still has not laid down any clues on the association with this Mad Max to the original Road Warrior portrayed by Mel Gibson during the 80s. Instead a synopsis has long been laid out for this summer blockbustert which has been the foundation for each released trailer. The bereaved Mad Max (Tom Hardy) haunted by a troubling past encounters a fleeing group of women led by an elite Imperator, Furiosa (Charlize Theron). Furiosa has with her a band of young women who are now considered a very vital resource of the planet. Hot on their heels is the lord of the Citadel, Immortan Joe and his ruthless band of chiseled goons.
Mel Gibson or no Mel Gibson in this retelling, Tom Hardy has already been a shoo-in to play Mad Max in Warner Bros. Pictures future installments. The 37-year-old British actor is said to appear in three more Mad Max projects.
Mad Max: Fury Road also stars Nicholas Hoult as Nux, Hugh Keays-Bryne as Immortan Joe and Rosie Huntington-Whitely as The Splendid Angharad. It opens in theathers in May 15, 2015.
