George Miller Says He Will Not Do Any More MAD MAX Films
I promise I'm as heartbroken as you are reading this headline. George Miller told Page Six that Mad Max: Fury Road would mark his exit from the franchise....
"I’ve shot in Australia in a field of wild flowers and flat red earth when it rained heavily forever. We had to wait 18 months and every return to the US was 27 hours. Those ‘Mad Maxes’ take forever. I won’t do those anymore.”
It should be noted that Miller was slated to shoot this film back in 2010, but had to stop once the area for filming had a ridiculous amount of rainfall and transformed the desert wasteland into a green zone with wildflowers. The process took much longer than Miller would've liked, and while I think he still enjoys the franchise, he's probably looking at his age and thinking he'd like to do a couple more movies as opposed to half of one.
Obviously, this is a big disappointment to all of us, as Fury Road was easily one of the best films of last year. It's a shame it was snubbed at the Golden Globes. So if Miller is out, who would you like to see in?
