Mad Max 4 to Start Production Soon

Here is the best thing I have heard all week:

ALMOST 25 years after Tina Turner ran Mel Gibson out of Bartertown, George Miller is gearing up to shoot another Mad Max film in Sydney.

According to industry sources, the fourth film in the groundbreaking
Australian franchise, which many people thought would never get off the
ground, might well go into production as early as the later part of
this year.

Scouting for locations is already happening and specialised technicians have been approached.

It’s extremely unlikely, however, that Gibson will be asked to take
his leathers out of mothballs to reprise the role that made him an
international star.

Two years ago, Miller said he considered the Hollywood heavyweight too old to play the avenging road warrior.

“It won’t be Mel. He was 21 when he made the first one, now he’s a
lot older and his passion is for filmmaking and directing,” Miller said
soon after winning an Oscar for Happy Feet.  [The Daily Telegraph]

It should be a great movie even if there is no Mel Gibson.
