I’m sure everyone out there is excited to hear George Miller’s 4th installment of the Mad Max series, MAD MAX 4:  FURY ROAD is back in production as of last week.  The movies sort of like every major relationship I’ve ever had, on-again & off-again.  Up until last week, word was the movie had been placed on permanent hiatus.  Well, we all know the sort of finished product that results when this sort of situation arises in Hollywood. 

According to the people at Moviehole, Miller plans to film Mad Max at the same time as his other reported project, Justice League.  Currently, Miller’s working on the sequel to Happy Feet.  The original took four years to film—it appears as though this project will continue throughout the making of both Justice League and Mad Max 4: Fury Road. 

Miller’s Mad Max project is no longer attached to Mel Gibson as Miller’s opting for a star that’s younger.  As of today, there’s been no hint of who may fill Gibson’s shoes in as Mad Max.  Neither has there been any word regarding a storyline or moreover a working script.  In lieu of these things, Moviehole’s source reveals that the project will begin pre-production immediately, which leaves the possibility that it will be released before Justice League. 

So with three films on his plate Miller’s charging ahead and plans to create epic films of monstrous proportions.  Still, call me logical, but doesn’t it seem like Miller’s biting off more than he can chew?  I guess we’ll have to wait for the finished products to see if things turn out for Miller & his films.
