“Oh, what a day! What a lovely day!”
Mad Max: Fury Road is nothing short of a goddamn masterpiece. This is an epic of grease, gunpowder, and gasoline – a feminist, post-apocalyptic Western on wheels, all shiny and chrome. This is action cinema in its purest, most exhilarating form.
Co-written and directed by George Miller, Fury Road finds The Road Warrior himself, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), pursued by Warboys, a bloodthirsty clan of marauders under the command of the tyrannical Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). The leather-clad maniacs capture Max and haul him off to the Citadel, a massive stronghold where the warlord rules over the poor, sickly wretches of the wasteland.
Within the Citadel, Max becomes a blood bag for Nux (Nicholas Hoult), a wounded Warboy. Max hangs upside down, his blood draining into Nux, who wants nothing more than to die a glorious soldier’s death and be ushered into shiny, chrome-colored Valhalla.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Legacy Trailer Looks Back At The Series

A brand new trailer for the upcoming post-apocalyptic epic Mad Max: Fury Road has been released by Warner Brothers. This latest preview of the fourth movie in the series by director George Miller, which also includes Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, all starring Mel Gibson, is dubbed a “Legacy Trailer” and looks back at the past movies from 36, 33, and 30 years ago.
We’ve seen plenty of trailers for the movie that have overwhelmed us with excitement, but to see these clips of the decades-old movies before getting another peek at Fury Road only adds another layer of excitement as the blues and blacks and other colors popping amongst the predominantly dusty brownish-orange hue of the newest installment really get those sensory receptors firing off nicely.
Click on over to the other side to check out the Mad Max: Fury Road Legacy Trailer.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Trailer: It’s Hard To Know Who’s More Crazy

After two stunning trailers for George Miller‘s Mad Max: Fury Road, Warner Bros. has released the third and final one in anticipation for the film’s May release. There is a bunch of new footage, which reveals more plot points than the previous two trailers combined. We also get to see a little bit more of the villain of the film, Immortan Joe (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne).
There is just so much action going on, reading a description wouldn’t do the trailer any justice. Besides, watching it on a computer screen doesn’t do it any justice either, and judging by what we see in the trailer, Mad Max: Fury Road deserves to be seen on the big screen. Hit the jump to check it out.

Today, Warner Bros. has released the first official trailer for next summer’s highly-anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road, and just in time for Christmas too. Ah Warners, but I didn’t get you anything.

Over the Summer, the George Miller-directed sequel stormed San Diego Comic-Con and unleashed the first footage and posters. The results nearly shattered the Internet that wonderful July day. The studio later released an edited version of the Comic-Con sizzle reel that has been viewed over twelve million times on YouTube. I was responsible for perhaps a quarter of that amount.

Warner Brothers Unveils First ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Teaser Poster

A loner dressed in dusty black leather, his rusted hulk of a badass automotive war machine, and the assembled forces of wasteland evil looming in the distance…what more could you possibly require of a first poster for next year’s Mad Max: Fury Road?
The fourth film in Australian filmmaker George Miller‘s imaginative, highly influential post-apocalyptic action franchise has been in the works since the days when original star Mel Gibson was still a viable screen leading man without a hint of scandal about him. Now that British star-on-the-rise Tom Hardy has replaced Gibson in the iconic role of monosyllabic wanderer Max Rockatansky, Fury Road is finally rolling at full speed and looks to have a huge presence at this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con. Ahead of the Con Warner Brothers has released the first poster for Fury Road, which shows little but promises much.
You can check the poster out here below.

Starring Shia LaBeouf, Peter Cullen, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hugo Weaving, Tyrese Gibson, Leonard Nimoy, Josh Duhamel, John Malkovich, Frank Welker, Alan Tudyk, Glenn Morshower, Buzz Aldrin, Bill O’Reilly
Paramount Pictures
Originally Released: June 23, 2011
Dark of the Moon, the third installment of the Transformers motion picture series, is full of attention-grabbing action, with magnificent special effects that show major improvements on the previous two films. And despite a plot with logic gaps and other wanting elements, the consequence is a fun romp. Hey, it’s a popcorn movie after all!
Dark of the Moon picks up where Revenge of the Fallen left off. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has moved on in life – now graduated from university, he lives with new girlfriend Carly Spencer (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) while looking for his first major job. Despite the progress forward, he suffers an inner turmoil after having been central to the trials of the battles between the Autobots and Decepticons, feeling that his future is substandard and matters less than his efforts fighting the good fight with allies Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and Bumblebee.

‘Transformers’ Star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Cast In ‘Mad Max: Road Fury’

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.
