Here’s a rumour circulating: George Miller will be directing the ‘Fury Road’ sequel, titled "Mad Max: Wasteland," right after the release of ‘Furiosa,’ which is currently filming.
Supposedly, all of Miller's financial issues with the WB have been resolved. They want more “Mad Max.” They see how excited people are with his upcoming “Furiosa.”
Miller has dabbled in non-Mad Max fare all throughout his career, “Babe: Pig in the City,” “The Witches of Eastwick,” “Happy Feet,” and this year’s “Three Thousand Years of Longing.”
However, Miller isn’t getting any younger either. He’ll be 79 by the time ‘Furiosa’ is released in 2024 and concentrating the twilight of his career on more “Mad Max” is what he wants to do. It’s been the passion and voice of his career.
No word yet on whether Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron will be part of “Mad Max: Wasteland.”
