Charlize Theron to Star in Film ‘Mad Max 4: Fury Road’
The Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, 34, has signed on to star in Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth installment of the futuristic Mad Max series. On October 29, 2009, it was announced that British actor Tom Hardy was in negotiations to take the lead role of Max, and Charlize Theron will also play a lead role. The plot will be set shortly after the events of Beyond Thunderdome.
Mel Gibson played the title character Max Rockatansky in the three previous Mad Max films, but is not returning for the one, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Mad Max 2 (also known as The Road Warrior in the U.S., and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior) is a 1981 Australian post-apocalyptic action film directed by George Miller. This sequel to Miller’s 1979 film Mad Max was a worldwide box office success that further launched the career of lead actor Mel Gibson. The film’s tale of a community of settlers moved to defend themselves against a roving band of marauders follows an archetypal “Western” frontier movie motif, as does Max’s role as a hardened man who rediscovers his humanity.
Plans for the fourth film of the Mad Max series, tentatively known as Mad Max 4: Fury Road, or simply Mad Max 4, hit financial difficulties early on, and was in development hell for around 25 years. George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, Mad Max 4: Fury Road, 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 shooting in Australia in May 2003, Fury Road almost immediately entered hiatus due to security concerns related to trying to film in Namibia Africa, because the United States and many other countries have tightened travel and shipping restrictions. With the outbreak of the Second Gulf War, Fury Road was abandoned as what was a potentially politically sensitive film.
