movie blog has revealed some tantalising details:We already know that Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are the stars... but that's pretty much it.
Well not anymore. For starters, the cast is growing exponentially. "Clash of the Titans" actor Nicholas Hoult is now on board, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Zoe Kravitz (daughter of Lenny), Teresa Palmer ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice") and Adelaide Clemens ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine") are also "in various states of negotiations to join" as well. That's not the best part though. "Mad Max" fans: we now know some story.
The movie will be set shortly after the events of "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," the 1985 release starring Mel Gibson and Tina Turner. Hoult will play a character named Nux, though there's no indication of how he fits into the story. The other three -- Kravitz, who will play Five Wives, Palmer and Clemens -- will play riders in "a convoy being chased by bad guys." I'll bet Hardy's Max Rockatansky saves them.
Now that we know the "when" of this story, the next question is obvious. When is Miller going to announce an Aunty Entity cameo for Tina Turner???

I haven't thought of Mad Max in a long time. I guess all great movies get the reboot these days. Gotta say Charlize Theron is a nice addition.
A reboot would be great, but it sounds less like a reboot than a direct sequel to the last film, which is odd as the earlier films were all pretty loose on continuity. I seem to remember the first was set in a lawless town, but by the second society had broken down because of an oil crisis and for the third there'd been an atomic war. The only consistent thing was Max regaining his humanity every single time then being mad again for the start of the next one.
