The Moviehole Web site reported a rumor that comic writer Brendan McCarthy and director George Miller are working on a fourth installment in the Mad Max franchise. In a brief interview with the site, McCarthy told them that Mad Max IV will be a "serious, savage, sexy, surreal sequel. ... We looked at every action-car-biker movie going. Pretty much all of them have dated badly, except The Road Warrior. That's our competition."
McCarthy also said he had met with Mad Max star Mel Gibson a while back and hoped that Gibson would reprise the role in the proposed sequel. But of course, it's all just a rumor for now.

If it has Mel, then it is worth seeing and will make money. If it doesnt it will crash. Mel will decide on the script and he will be the judge. He wont do it if it smells bad.

HEY, what was wrong with Lethal 3 & 4? He is a very good actor to be able to step from serious roles into comical ones. I like all sides of his acting abilities. I agree as mentioned earlier, they have to do this right in order to succeed and Mel HAS to be in it for it to.

This movie could be really good. This movie coul move a lot of units and sell a lot of tickets if done well...but is it really worth it to possibly tarnish the name of a classic flick? Think about a lot of fanatic's reaction to the phantom menace. I hope they do this movie, and do it well. But i hope they know what kind of fire they are playing with here.

L.W. 4 was bad but still not as bad as Bird on a Wire or Air America.
Don't go by his decision to do the movie. You have to personaly see (if it actualyl gets made) it & then decide how bad it is.

If Mel does this (which I doubt VERY MUCH), will he use his original Australian accent (as in previous Max movies)? It would also be interesting to see Vin Diesel in there as a worthy nemesis for Max........

LW 4 and all of them were some of the best movies that i have seen probably ever. They had comedy and action. No other actors went better together than Mel and Danny and if they don't make another one it will be a loss of a great idea.

fellow talking animals, pundits, movie buffs,
hang in there, Mad Max breaks out of the outback, rides the waves to the mid east and WHIPS some ugly on the terrorists, with the army of ne'er do wells as his cohorts.

How bought we have Mad Max's world but make it covered by Water and instead of cars they can have wave riders and boats and instead of Mel we can have Costner. Anyone think this is a good idea? Anyone?

Does he have an Austrailian accent?
I know he was raised in Austrailia (He was born and lived his first few years in Peekskill, New York), but he's been living in the U.S. for a really long time. In interviews he doesn't sound Austrailian.
By the way, I saw "Training Day" last night, and it was great!

vocal training 100% american, in MAD MAX it was so bad that he needed to be dubbed so american audiences could understand him
RE: Mad Max IV? reply
Posted by 100% AMERICAN (hellskitchen_@hotmail.com) on October 9, 2001 10:08 AM
No kidding?
I heard that before Pitt got his role in that movie (Dance with the Devil or the Devil's Own, I forget) he did with Harrison Ford: about the American police officer and the kid in the IRA. Well, originally they had casted Mickey Rourke, who used an Irish accent so thick that it was tough for test audiences to understand. The Director pleaded with Rourke to tone it down, but he refused, so they fired him. Maybe in the new Mad Max, they could utilize some other of these new popular Autrailian actors: Pierce, Crowe. The Road Warrior is still pretty violent even by todays standards, I hope they stay within the story lines, and don't muck it up.
RE: Mad Max IV? reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 9, 2001 11:30 AM
yeah, mel's original natural accent was so bad that they redubbed mad max for release in the US...
it took years of vocal teachers to lose most of it...

With Mel onboard it?ll be fine, although recently all his movies have lacked substance. Perhaps this possible fourth Mad Max film may surprise us with new digital movie magic. It may be fun, unless Mr. Gibson sells out again to a pathetic sequel script, like the last Lethal Weapon with Pesci, Russo and Chris Rock. Shame on you!

Like it wont be hard to surpass 1, 2 or 3.
The CGI would probably carry the movie, strand him on a planet with talking monkeys maybe, directed by John Woo so we have 40+ minutes of slo-mo shots.....my nose is bleeding already. Sick of sequels, sequels, sequels, prequels, get me some dayquil, I'm gonna be sick!
What about Mel in space? Think we need Mel in space. {now most of you probably just thought of ....hmmm...Max Max in Space....or...hmmmm.....Aliens vs Mad Max...??}
Let's get serious, let go of the sequel coat tails, put down the "hey, this comic book would make a great movie" map and venture off into the creative unknown.
....that and.....does anyone know when Star Trek #10 being released???!?!??! :)

obviously you have never had any film classes. while Lethal 1 is definitely the best, all of the sequels are up to par. you want a bad sequel? watch Temple of Doom.
RE: Mad Max IV? reply
Posted by Bexley (MrMojoRisin@Tripping.com) on October 11, 2001 5:32 PM
A couple of things here, "Temple of Doom" is actually a prequel not a sequel, the word is Australian not Austrailian, Leathal Weapon 2, 3, and 4 were all pretty good for sequels, if the poor Americans can't understand the Aussie accent then too bad and if Mel Gibson is going to be in Mad Max 4 as Max Rockatansky then the movie should be OK.
RE: Mad Max IV? reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 12, 2001 2:38 AM
I think Mel would be too old to reprise the role. The next best thing to cast would be Russel Crowe. They're both from OZ and somewhat displays the same film appeal.
RE: Mad Max IV? reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 12, 2001 4:26 PM
bexley, king of the anal nitpick.
but one correction i will make is i shoulda said his accent was thick as 'bad' denotes a negative aspect which was unintentional
his accent was as hard to understand as some welsh, scotch, irish ones i've heard.
in america it was redubbed due to americans not being able to follow what he said. what's up your ass?
low aussie esteem?
i do believe it sucks that australia is only known for fosters, crocodile dundee, kangaroos, and several sayings as 'shrimp on the barbie' here in america
there are better things to be known for in australia

As long as it still does a good job of conveying a bleak, post-apocalyptic grungie, raider infested world I would watch it
If it sways too much from Road Warrior I won't spoil the experience. BTW, I didn't know Mel was an aussie. BTW LW 4 did blow, I hope he doesn't do Max 4 just for the money... after all it IS the movie that launched his career.

Mel is from the USA, born in NYCity to be exact.
Russell Crowe is from NewZealand. Like most films from Oz, the best ones involve foriegners. Bad Boy Bubby was made thanks to the Italians.

As an ozzie would say "Pig's A*se!". Have you heard the original Oz track? Get the DVD and listen. The fact is the dubbed version is the RUINED version. If u don't beleive me check out the comments on Amazon for Road Warrior 0.

Posted by FilthMerchant (rmcc@hotmail.com) on December 1, 2001 3:18 AM
I heard an interview with G.Miller where he said that Mad Max 4 (if he made it!) would have no CGI; that is everything would be real. Let's hope there is no made for USA angle ie TinaTurner. I like TT and will accept the critisicm the include of Humungous (or was it Wez?) was an appeal to the Swedes :)

Ouch. How rude! Thanks to the Ozzie's we didn't have to send our guys to Indonesia, to free EAST Timor. Perhaps the idea of jungle warfare scared us? Also how many allies stuck with us in Vietnam? Australia, New Zealand (those damn nuke hating commie scum) Thailand, Sth Korea. Sorry, forgive me. I am probably agruing with a 12yo from Idaho.

Mel is from Australia you stupid doofus. Even if he was from NY where the f*ck do you think he grew up, learned how to speak and act? AUSTRALIA. Same with Russel Crowe, he loves Australia more than any other country. And just for the record I hate the way Mel acts. He is a f*cking over-actor no matter what role he is playing, kinda like Tom Cruise, they do too much twitching and sh*t when they act, so fake and unconvinving (except maybe to Americans). As for LW4. The only thing that made that movie close to decent or money-making was the master "Jet LI". Not Mel gibson! The fans wouldnt even cheer Mel when he came out to Asia to promote LW4, they gave Jet Li a standing ovation instead. Russel Crowe is No. ! Aussie actor who is down to earth and will never forget his homeland or change his accent. Mel Gibson is just another Hollywood wash out, there are plenty of actors that can take his place.

Posted by FilthMerchant (rmcc@hotmail.com) on December 31, 2001 6:16 AM
Ouch! Stoopid dufus? That must hurt...someone, somewhere. Have u seen him in MM1? He obv. didn't learn to act in that film. I think he is an avg. actor (still). The MM films belong to the scriptwiters, directors and producers.
Ok. But Russell is still from NZ. (and this is not a bad thing).
All I am saying is that Oz (and NZ: The Quiet Earth) does produce GREAT films, however, unlike Hollywood, these films incorporate the help of different cultures. Watch Priscilla and wonder if Beineix's filmic translations can be seen? F**k, even Melbourne City had J.Chan do a film there.
I so much want to see a MM4, it doesn't need Mel. Altho. it would be nice.
Go and watch BadBoyBubby. Then thank Oz and Italy.
The point I was trying to make is that Oz film is a VERY COOL melting pot. Beats the f**k out of Hollywood.

Oy nobody gives down the banks to Mel Gibson.
He gave you major films to grow up onin the 8o's MMX1, 2 , Lethal Weapon, Braveheart. Hes a wilded, passionate actor, the guys cool.
Now, hes recently been polled as the tank of hollywood, the internal V8 engine of the Silverscreen after raking in Millions in directorail royalties from the Passion Of Christ-which is more than a movie. AMen.
He can pump as little or as much, i figure a little, moneywise but supportive directive wise with Miller he'll be aware of the franchise and love of Max Rock fans and want to uphold that status of Roadwarrior esqueness as stated in other reports. If he uses The guy from knights tale and patriot the OZ uy then good.
This film will be gutsy, roadworthy and true to auld mad max so hey ......you fellas making waves ....your turkeys!
