Mad Max 4...In 3-D!

George Miller, the writer/director of the previous three films in the "Mad Max" trilogy, wants to make a fourth film in the franchise.
The catch?
No Mel Gibson. Animated. In 3-D.

“We’ll probably go a different route,” Miller told MTV News about the potential talent voicing the lead role.

"The plot would be partly lifted from the script of the fourth 'Max' film, which was set to shoot in 2003 until financing collapsed in the wake of the Iraq War.

Now Miller is resurrecting the idea as an R-rated, stereoscopic anime flick for theatrical release. It’s a curious undertaking, to be sure, but one made all the more certain to happen after the runaway success in 2006 of his computer-animated 'Happy Feet'—not that the newest, ever-violent 'Max' film will have much in common with that kid-friendly penguin party.

'I see myself as someone who is very curious about storytelling and all its various media,' Miller said. 'I’ve always loved anime, in particular the Japanese sensibility. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.'

The project is one phase of a 'Mad Max' renaissance of sorts. Along with 'God of War II' designer Corey Barlog, Miller is developing an action-adventure videogame based on the fourth film. Gibson won’t be participating in that endeavor, either."

Miller said that the next "Max" film and game won't be coming out for another two to three years, so we have a wait it indeed these projects end up happening.
I am quite struck by this sudden news and don't know what to think of it yet.
More news to come! Catch ya later!
