George Miller's Black and White MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Will Be Released This Year
Before Mad Max: Fury Road was released on Blu-ray, director George Miller reportedly fought for a black and white version of the film to be included on the disc, but as you all know, that didn't happen. Miller has previously said that the black-and-white version of the film is "more authentic and elemental." While talking to Edgar Wright about the film, Miller explained:
"One thing I’ve noticed is that the default position for everyone is to de-saturate post-apocalyptic movies. There’s only two ways to go, make them black and white — the best version of this movie is black and white, but people reserve that for art movies now. The other version is to really go all-out on the color. The usual teal and orange thing? That’s all the colors we had to work with. The desert’s orange and the sky is teal, and we either could de-saturate it, or crank it up, to differentiate the movie. Plus, it can get really tiring watching this dull, de-saturated color, unless you go all the way out and make it black and white."
Well, it looks like we'll finally have the opportunity to see his black and white version of Fury Road! According to Refocused Media, there's new 6-disc box set called Mad Max: High Octane Collection, which has been added to Amazon Germany, and will feature the black-and-white cut of the film, which is dubbed the "Black and Chrome Edition." It is set to be released on September 29th.
I've included a trailer for the black and white version of the movie below. I can't wait to watch this! I know I've already seen the movie a billion times, but watching it in black and white will be a whole new experience.
