My new favorite director George Miller said the other day that Mad Max Fury Road has started pre-production, but without Mel. I still think Mel might change his mind, it would help his career. Who would you guys like to see play Max? I love the Mad Max movies so I'm very excited about this news.
I wonder if Mel Gibson would be interested at this point.
But whoever plays Max would of course have to be an Australian, so my number one choice is Hugh Jackman -- he has both the charisma to be a hero, as well as the ability to project the brooding stoicism needed play Max.
If not Hugh Jackman then Russell Crowe. Crowe is less charismatic than Jackman but he's great at playing the rough-hewn burnout with a hidden soft side.
I don`t mean to be somewhat clever (?) given this is a music board, but I`d be very concerned over who is going to follow Brian May to score it. Of course, if the project isn`t an Adult adventure, if its another music video like Thunderdome, the issue is probably moot.
Even though they haven't cast anyone as Max, I still hope Mel will do it, it does look like it's really moving forward! I love these movies and am really excited about this. I'm also a big Miller fan. Miller's also doing HAPPY FEET 2 btw.
Mel coming back just seems highly unlikely at this point. He somehow he does, awesome! I'll be there opening day. If somebody else plays Max (which I'm very much expecting), I'll be disappointed, but still willing to give them a chance depending on what I think of the choice.

It does seem unlikely, but I'm thinking the reason they haven't cast anyone yet is because they are holding out for Mel.
By the way didn`t I hear some rumours that Charlize Theron was cast?
It was a rumor, and hopefully it'll stay a rumor. Miller recently said that everything you hear online is just rumor, as they are still looking at lots of actors and have not made any decisions yet.
