It's seemingly about as dead as highway-crossing roo' but actor Bruce Spence - Jedediah in "Mad Max 3", and The Gyro Captain in "Mad Max 2" - tells Empire that he's still keeping everything crossed that "Mad Max 4 : Fury Road" gets up again.
"Yeah, I think I would", says Spence, asked if he'd like to see it come to fruition. "I'd be blessed once again if they found a part in there for me. The script was kept pretty much under wraps when George [Miller] was looking at doing it, and I don't think I was in it - I wasn't approached about it anyway".
There's always the chance of wearing a new guy's shoes. "Maybe I could drive a submarine or come over the sun-dunes driving a huge tractor".

Moviehole sprach mit Mel Gibson...
[...] Gibson talks about the future of the "Lethal Weapon" and "Mad Max" franchises and it doesn't sound like he'll be playing either Martin Riggs or 'Mad' Max ever again - which will especially annoy those anxiously awaiting for the recently postponed "Mad Max 4 : Fury Road".
He laughs when asked how much money he still gets offered for a new "Lethal Weapon". "Ah, good question. I'm too old and I can't deal with the action stuff anymore."
That also tends to rule out the much delayed Mad Max 4. "It's getting to the point where they'll start calling it Fat Max," but hopes, at the very least, to work again with Weir and Miller. "Those guys are masters so of course I'd love to work with them again. The trouble is, will they want me?"
Sounds like Gibson's kissed "Mad Max" bon voyage.

Der Sydney Morning Herald sprach kürzlich mit George Miller...
[...] Confirming his plan to make a fourth Mad Max after finishing Happy Feet, Miller said the rising value of the Australian dollar would affect the budget.
"When we started on Mad Max, the Australia dollar was 52 [US cents] ... It's 72 cents now.
"That's a massive blow-out in your budget, which is another problem for Australia.

There've been rumours that "Mad Max 4" might be pushed back even more, and now with an announcement in The Hollywood Reporter that Director George Miller is about to start work on a different flick altogether - it seems almost certain. According to the trade, Miller will direct the Brittany Murphy CGI comedy "Happy Feet". The latter, being of two movies Murphy has just signed on for, the other being "Major Movie Star" [...]

We might soon have our first cast member [next to Mel that is] for "Mad Max 4: Fury Road". Moviehole can confirm that Australian actress Georgie Shew is indeed in talks for a role in the forthcoming Mel Gibson headed blockbuster. Shew has taken several meetings with casting agents for the film in the past couple of months, but as for which role, it's unsure. Australian TV audiences would best recognize the pretty 23 year old actress for her role as Katy Turnbull on the high-rating series "Always Greener".
[22.03.2003] Moviehole sprach mit Heath Ledger...
[...] what of the rumours that he might star as Mad Max's son in the upcoming "Fury Road: Mad Max 4"? "No", he laughs. "I did say to [Director] George Miller I'd do a walk-on role in it and have Mad Max shoot me in the head. It'll be cool just to be part of a Mad Max movie, I certainly wasn't up for the Son role though". [...]

While doing an interview for a sports magazine I write for, I learned some rather interesting news about "Mad Max 4" this morning. Extreme Sports enthusiast and Bike Champ Jono Porter tells me "Some of my friends - who are riders - just got picked up to be in the new "Mad Max" movie ("Mad Max 4 : Fury Road"). They're going to South Africa". Porter told me they will be part of a large group of actors cast as Max's warrior enemies. "You know in the previous movies how they've got all the warriors on bikes and that in the desert, we'll that's what they'll be doing this time. There is six of them, all playing warrior dudes. I was asked to be in it. They wanted me to do a back flip in one section of the film, but I just couldn't fit it in time wise. But they seem to be hiring a lot of Australians for the movie, which is great". Sounds like a nice return to the feel of the first "Max" movies folks.

Namibian.com berichtet über die verschobenen Dreharbeiten...
FILMING of the Mad Max movie 'Fury Road' seems to be back on the rails, with shooting now set to start around September.
A one-sentence press release issued by Fury Road Productions yesterday stated: "We are pushing the start of principal photography for Fury Road from summer to late fall."
News that the US$104 million movie starring Mel Gibson would be postponed indefinitely sent shockwaves through towns at the coast on Monday.
Many jobs and contracts have been lined up for the filming which was originally set to start in May.
Angela Phillips, Production Manager of Moonlighting, said yesterday she did not have more details on the decision.
She could also not say whether the 50 Australians and South Africans who were already in the country working on pre-production would pack up to return later in the year, or whether they would remain to finish the work already started.
One option would be to mothball everything and store it until production starts again.
Apparently a lot of production material has already been shipped to Namibia.
At a huge workshop at Walvis Bay, heavily guarded by security officers, work has started on building special vehicles to be used in the movie, while many other Namibian service providers have been approached for their services.
Residents have been offered jobs ranging from personal assistants and drivers, to employment in the art department.
Many others have tried signing up as extras.

Kennedy Miller Productions, producer of Mad Max: Fury Road, in which Mel Gibson will reprise the role he created in 1979, have decided to film on location in Namibia, Africa rather than outback New South Wales, says Variety.
Panavision Australia topper Dennis Noonan says he believes they chose that African locale because they can accommodate the cast and crew much closer to the desert than is possible in Australia.
Noonan still hopes Panavision will get the chance to service the production in Namibia. Also, there's unconfirmed talk that "Fury Road" may shoot some interiors Down Under.

The Australian Newspaper reports Pre-production auditions have begun for stunt crews for "Fury Road", the third sequel to the "Mad Max" series. A spokeswoman for The Stunt Agency, which provided stuntmen for the first Mad Max film in 1979, confirmed yesterday the Kennedy Miller group began auditions last week when more than 30 stunt motorbike riders descended on the Stockton sand dunes near Newcastle. Yesterday further auditions were held in gyms in Sydney and on the Gold Coast for "physical" stuntmen who would be used for fight scenes, while in Sydney today there would be car auditions.

Things are moving fast as production gears up to start very soon on the fourth 'Max' flick and 'Drew' handed in this report: "Thought you might be interested in the fact that on Thursday last week, around 30 stunt motorbike riders were put to the test in Newcastles Stockton Sand Dunes. The sand dunes have been the backdrop for a few movies including past "Mad Max" movies and also "Bootmen", the remake of "Sahara" and also for the TV show "Farscape". A spokeswoman from Kennedy Miller said she couldnt comment on anything except that they were there to look for talented riders 'who can handle themselves in this terrain'. Security was pretty tight around the area also, with numerous 4WD utes bordering the area where they performed".

FilmJerk berichtet über die "Casting-Couch"...
The new Mad Max film, "Fury Road," begins shooting June 1. Director George Miller appears to be sticking with the storyline he created with "Beyond Thunderdome," as the production is looking for a number of teenagers. The girls will be beautiful, splendid, capable, humorous and refined. The boys, young warriors and street punks, will be athletic, lean, tough, strong and physical. All are humorous and full of life.

In an interview with First Magazine, Director George Miller spilled out the details on the film's current status: "We're almost done on the script, and we hope to get filming early in the year. Yes Mel's back on board (in response to his payment) He's worth every cent. I mean would you watch a Mad Max film without Mel?". In terms of casting - "We've a bit of a way to go there. But Mel has an idea to put Robert Downey Jnr - who I adore by the way - in a role, and I myself would love to see some of the faces from the earlier films return be it Tina Turner, Emil Minty...".

The Herald Sun is reporting that the recently announced "Mad Max 4" won't be filmed in Australia after all - but in Namibia.
The publication states that a combination of suitable desert locations, lack of Australian studio space and financial incentives will lure the $200 million plus production to the southern African nation.
Fox declined to comment but will confirm Mel Gibson's $50 million dollar paycheque and a May start date. [...]
[11.12.2002] Laut NZ erhält Mel Gibson 25 Millionen Dollar, wenn er noch einmal in die Rolle des "Mad Max" schlüpft... Blickpunkt:Film meldet...
[...] Der Regisseur und Koautor der erfolgreichen Filmreihe, George Miller, schreibt bereits seit vier Jahren an einem dritten Sequel der erfolgreichen Filmreihe. Fox plant, das Big-Budget-Projekt mit dem Arbeitstitel "Fury Road" im Mai 2003 drehfertig zu haben.
Miller hatte die Rechte an "Mad Max" 1997 von Warner erworben, die die ersten drei Teile in die Kinos brachten.

[...] After months - make that years - of rumours and speculation, the film is a 'go picture'. An insider tells us that Fox Studios in Sydney have just made a deal with George Miller to have the film shot there in March of 2003. Negotiations are still underway between Icon, Fox and George Miller to iron out further aspects of the deal.

Die Herald Sun zitiert Mel Gibson, der doch gerne in "Mad Max 4" mitspielen würde, sofern die Studios dies zuliessen...
[...] "I don't know what I'm meant to say," about the project that launched him on the world stage.
"George has a big family and he'll come and get me," he laughed. "He put a gag order on me for a long time."
But now the cat is out of the bag, Gibson conceded he was familiar with Miller's script although "there's a lot more factors involved than just saying yes.
"I mean, I want to and George wants to but there's a lot of wrangling and weirdness that I can't even begin to explain in the business world of studio financing." [...]

Cinescape meldet...
[...] "I don't know if my joints would be up to it," Gibson said. This is the most recent in a string of less-than-outright-no's Gibson has offered on the subject. Given the last MAX film came out almost 20 years ago, and the TV version went nowhere a few years back... kids, it's time to lay this one to rest. It hurts to say, and I'm sure hurts to read, but this looks less likely with every Gibson interview.

AICN meldet...
The radio station here 6MD - Merredin talked to a second unit director who has some news on Mad Max 4 you might be interested in.
They said George Miller will film in Africa this time - not Australia. They also said Max is in the script, but Heath Ledger has agreed to play the main part, and if Gibson decides not to return for the cameo as Max they might even ask Steve Bisley to play the role as sort of a thankyou for his time on part 1.
[15.02.2002]
Dark Horizons meldet...
Victorian radio is indicating Africa will be the location for shooting on the fourth MM film. Max has a small role in the script and if Gibson won't return, they may try for Aussie actor Steve Bisley (who was in the first film) for the part.

Laut einem Bericht bei AICN wird angeblich in Afrika nach Drehorten für "Mad Max 4" gesucht...
MAD MAX producers are said to be scouting for desert locations in Africa because the Australian ones apparently aren't 'attractive' enough. It has also been said that Mel will be passing the torch to Heath Ledger but will be making some kind of cameo in the film.
[12.02.2002]
Bei Dark Horizons gibt es ein Interview mit Mel Gibson...
[...] And as for the much-rumoured Mad Max 4, Mel has no idea if he wants to reprise the character that turned him into a star. "Hey, they have to come up with something to show me, I guess." Mel DOES hope to return to Australia at some point to star in a film in his adoptive homeland. "Why not? We have a production company up and running there and we're going to get some stuff going."

Bei Coming Soon! gibt es weitere Statements von George Miller bzgl. "Mad Max 4"...
- He's looking at casting now, and the one kid he likes out there at the moment is an actor called Brendan Fehr (u.a. "Final Destination").

Urban Cinefile meldet, dass George Miller das "Mad Max 4"-Drehbuch fertiggestellt hat... Die Dreharbeiten, die 2002 beginnen, werden voraussichtlich nicht in Australien stattfinden...
In top spirits, Miller told the site he was pleased with this final draft and casting was "in process" but wouldn't be drawn on details. "Unfortunately," he said, "we won't be able to shoot in Australia, although I'd dearly love to. We need some real big stretches of desert where the cars don't get bogged; those deserts in South Australia would do but it's not practical for the cars. So we'll have to shoot elsewhere."

Dark Horizons hat einige Infos zu "Mad Max 4"...
I also asked him about Mad Max 4, for which Brendan spent two years in Sydney, writing and designing with the genius George Miller!!! In a way, he says, it is the true follow-up to "Mad Max 2, Road Warrior", a "serious, savage, sexy, surreal sequel...We looked at every action-car-biker movie going. Pretty much all of them have dated badly. Except Road Warrior. That's our competition...Gulp! I'm confident with George directing, that we will deliver the goods. A raw, kinetic assault that will take you to that great world of manic Mad Max mayhem. Sorry, I sound like I've got alliteration poisoning, but it's just that I really, really love what we've done on this film... you've got a great movie barrelling down the freeway at you in a few years time." Asked about Mel Gibson, Brendan confirmed he'd met him a while back, and hoped that Mel would step into the leathers again.

"Welcome To Wherever You Are" scheint eine durchaus interessante "Mad Max"-Dokumentation zu sein...
[24.08.2001] 13th Street berichtet, dass Regisseur George Miller & Co. Mel Gibson noch einmal
in der Titelrolle sehen wollen...
Without mentioning too many names, we're told that the current plan is to try and woo Mel Gibson to return for one last time as the Aussie road warrior. After all, the Mad Max 4 screenplay is written right now for the original character and not the first appearance of the son of Max that director George Miller has as a back-up plan. Miller wants Gibson for the picture, and the small group working on the project are "confident" that Mel would don his old leathers for one last go-round. The script was written very much in the feel of The Road Warrior: all-out road action with bad guys against the lone hero.
Of course, this all depends on Gibson's future plans. Scripts have been written before for stars, who then decided not to do the part. Still, that's the working plan for Mad Max 4 right now; now it remains to be seen if Gibson wants to play road warrior again.
[21.06.2001]
Dark Horizons berichtet...
Encore reports that George Miller's assistant Belinda Johns has quashed recent reports that production on the fourth "Mad Max" installment has moved up. Johns says "George is still writing the story, so nothing is for certain yet, but when it happens, it will happen quickly". The script is looking likely to be completed by year's end for shooting to begin early-mid 2002, Gibson's involvement as either actor or producer is unknown, and a location for filming is also unknown (thus striking out the Morocco location rumour).
[14.06.2001]
"AICN" berichtet... "MAD MAX 4... yeah... but not quite yet"...
[12.06.2001]
AICN berichtet über einen Artikel in der australischen Zeitung Herald Sun...
"PRODUCTION has begun on Mad Max 4 but mystery surrounds who has taken the lead roles.
Those hoping to see Mel Gibson might miss out. Film sources said Gibson, whose stardom was launched by Mad Max, may take position behind the cameras, possibly as a producer, and will not act.
Rumours continue as to whether Heath Ledger, who had expressed interest in the film, is to star.
Gibson and Ledger last partnered in The Patriot.
It is understood Mad Max 4 is now being shot in Morocco, and will also use South Australian sites at Coober Pedy and the Flinders Ranges.
Mad Max 3, Beyond Thunderdome, was filmed at Coober Pedy in 1985.
Mad Max 4 is in pre-production and writer/director George Miller had been searching the globe for locations.
The film's story line re mains a secret."
[06.04.2001]
Dark Horizons berichtet...
"[...] Anyway, during our conversation, things turned to what they would be working on next and.... drum roll please ... it is none other than....MAD MAX 4.. that's right our post apocalyptic anti hero is set to return! and although they said due to legal reasons they could not tell me whether the story would feature Mel Gibson reprising his role as Max, though it seems likely that while he will be in the movie, he won't necessarily be the main character.
In regards to the plot all they could say was that despite speculation the story is not centered on the feral kid as an adult, although if you were to imagine the child as an adult, someone like Russell Crowe would be about the right age, and does bear a striking resemblance. It would in fact be the final chapter of the Mad Max character but not necessarily the death of Max, nor the end of the franchise."

The Z Review hat einige Infos zu "Mad Max 4"... "Well I have it on record that the movie is NOT set 300 years after Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome and WILL NOT star Max's son. It will however be getting back to the machismo and sheer nastiness of Mad Max 2." - Und AICN hat den passenden Kommentar dazu...
[03.01.2001] Gerüchte besagen, dass Mel Gibson mit Regisseur George Miller über einen möglichen Auftritt in "Mad Max 4" gesprochen hat - laut denen spielt er einen älteren Max zu Beginn des Films... Nun liess er in einem Interview mit Cinecon folgendes verlauten:
Cinecon: Are you going to be doing another "Mad Max" film? There have been rumors...
Mel Gibson: No.
