Rosie Huntington-Whiteley might not be a name you would associate with stopping the Decepticons from conquering the Earth, but she did. It’s been almost a year since we’ve seen the Victoria Secret model make her big screen debut in what was suppose to be Michael Bay’s final Transformer‘s film, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. Apparently she caught the eye of a few filmmakers, particularly the eye of George Miller.

It seems obvious that Miller sees something that I don’t, as he has cast the young actress for a role in the new Mad Max movie – Mad Max: Fury Road.

“When you actually work on a film, they do invade you,” renowned Australian filmmaker George Miller said in an interview with IndieWire this week while promoting his latest movie, the computer-animated sequel Happy Feet 2. “The characters, they’re like imaginary characters in your head and they’re sort of part of your family in a strange way. So like family, they keep on intruding.”

The former physician-turned-director wasn’t referring to the singing and dancing penguins of the Happy Feet movies, but rather about the characters of the Mad Max trilogy that made his star Mel Gibson an international household name and established Miller as a master orchestrator of grand scale action and emotional complexity.

Up and coming actress Riley Keough is currently in talks to grab a role in Mad Max: Fury Road, the upcoming fourth title in the franchise. Keough is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of beloved King of Rock, Elvis Presley.

The original three films — Mad Max, The Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome — all starred Mel Gibson as a man whose family were brutally murdered at the hands of a biker gang in a dystopian and eventually post-apocalyptic future where anarchy reigns. After gaining his revenge for the tragedy, Max goes into a deep, dark place, but eventually resurfaces as a warrior ready to protect the innocent and fight the evolving evils of the depressing world.
