Mad Max: Fury Road 3D Blu-ray (2015) [Region Free]

[levcore]

I swear i started a thread for this movie but i can't find it. New trailer came out yesterday and it really is one of the best trailers I've ever seen!

It also confirms what we had heard that is indeed being released in 3D .

This is my most anticpated movie of all time, more than the next Star Wars or Terminator, for me Mad Max was always the greatest character. I cannot believe i am going to get a new Mad Max movie, and in 3D too, and that it looks as good as it does. Seriously the images in this trailer are just stunning. That shot towards the end of Max on the pole swinging past frame as that truck explodes in the background, that's going to look so amazing in 3D!

It's my most anticipated film for next year too. George Miller knows how to direct action. I love the shot of the guy jumping into the car holding the spears. Can't wait for this!

Youtube 3D?? Its that available in the UK?

Really looking forward to this film myself, hopefully it delivers.

Ripley18711: Just in case, for youtube 3D, just type in "3D" on the youtube site and it should let you know how to set it up in anaglyph 3D red/cyan or stereo 3D if you use a 3DTV or 3D monitor to watch.

The trailer looks very cool for action in Mad Max Fury Road, agreed. These films are usually light on story and heavy on action and atmosphere, but still enjoyable entertainment IMO. The 3D will hopefully kick @ss like the action no doubt will.

Slight Spoiler:
From the trailer, looks like Tom Hardy is captured and abused, and possibly set up as some kind of sacrifice (being strapped on front of the vehicle like that), when Charlize shows up and possibly helps him. I read they had some tension between the two of them on the set, but worked through it. Filming in the desert and heat would be tough as it is and probably had something to do with their possible conflict.

Have you seen some of the early copycat films of this desert car battle genre? I would recommend checking out the comical but interesting Warriors of the Lost World. There's another one that was also entertaining, can't think of the title... I'll have to dig it up from my collection. They're fun movies in the wasteland armored vehicle spirit, but admittedly very cheesy.

Trailer looks AWESOME!!! Hardy was a great choice for the role of Max!!

I'm glad Mad Max Fury Road 3D is finally hitting theaters after how many years of speculation on whether another one would be made by Miller, the original director of Mad Max.

There's an open world Mad Max PS4, XB1 game on the horizon also to match the timing of the film, though I read the game itself won't adhere to the movie's plot, allowing for an original game play experience set in the wasteland. Reminds me a little of Fallout 3, and Rage (from iD software).

the project spent around 25 years in "development hell." Mel Gibson was interested in returning for the film, but lost interest after 2000. George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages. Although the project was given the green light for a $100 million USD budget to begin filming in Australia in 2003, Mad Max 4 entered hiatus due to security concerns related to trying to film in Namibia with the outbreak of the Iraq War.
Filming finally began in July 2012 and wrapped on 17 December 2012.
A 3D conversion and reshoots held the release up.

Would of liked Gibson to reprise the role, but Hardy is a good choice.

Pg 13 for a mad max movie hopefully not another thunderdome.

The film is too costly for an R rating, even as a PG13 I think it is still a big gamble, as it started with a production budget of $100 Million and went $25 million over budget while shooting. Reshoots and a 3D conversion probably have it closer to $200 million at this point.

I agree though, more Road Warrior and less Thunderdome.

Thanks for all of that info Brett C. Hopefully the only thing missing in the PG13 version will be the blood and gore, since the action looks like it will deliver.
As far as aiming for a wider audience, that decision can sometimes help. With Expendables 3, they lost out in theaters after the leaked movie online more so than going PG13 in a bloodless movie I'd guess, where a lot of potential fans saw it online and lost their reason for visiting the theaters...
The good news is, months into its release worldwide, it made considerably more in box office sales despite the PG13 rating (prior ones rated R):
Expendables 3 (PG13)
Budget $90 million
Box office $206.2 million
Stallone said a fourth would return to an R rating. Expendables 2: 100 million budget, 300$ million box office.

Mad Max is a select genre, so it will be a tougher sell to mainstream audiences, but I hope it does better than Dredd 3D did.
Mad Max 1:
Budget $400,000
Box office $5,355,490

Mad Max 2 did well also:
Budget $4.5 million
Box office $35 million estimate

Pretty sure that Fury Road production also got held up with the huge floods in Australia too.....ironic in a way when by the sounds of it Fury road is about "water wars"

And dont hold me to this, but I'm also pretty sure that there's another TWO Mad Max movies to be penned as well - just hope that it doesnt lose it's way like Star Wars did/has

Here's hoping the "Interceptor" gets another deserving outing.....

[Brett C]

You are correct about the floods in Australia which made the deserts teaming with green fauna and unsuitable for filming. I did not fill out between 2003 and when it actually shot because I would be here typing all day explaining all the pitfalls causing the set backs in that time frame.

Good lord!

Mad Max: Fury Road Official Trailer #2 (2015) - Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron Movie HD - YouTube

Absolutely immense on every level. There is so much scope here for great 3D, loads of stuff flying towards the camera, loads of layers to be exploited, great environments. here's hoping for a knockout 3D presentation!

[nycomet]

I am super jazzed about this new Mad Max in 3D. The trailer blew my socks off. I hope the movie is really good and that the general public embraces it. Massive 3D box office sales is the only thing that will catch the attention of motion picture studios.

[bud_brigman]

Still not crazy about Hardy as Max -- actually, I'm not crazy about Hardy in general -- but wow. That trailer is insane, and it seems Miller's still got it.



(I'm a purist. I want Mel back for one final ride and then redemption. But I gotta let it go.)

[nycomet]

Hardy captured my attention in Inception, and based on the trailer he appears to be a satisfying Mad Max. But I must confess it's all of the action and wild effects that is luring me in. I hope the 3D in this new Mad Max will be pushed to the Mad Maximum!!!!!

[Interdimensional]

That's a striking trailer.

I like how they unashamedly order us to 'See it in 3D'. I prefer when 3D is presented as an essential part of the package rather than merely a viewing option.

Definitely excited to see this in 3-D! Also, Warner Bros. usually does a bang up job on their 3-D Blu-rays so I am excited for that as well.
