'Mad Max Fury Road' Sequel Spoilers: Two More Movies Planned, Director Reveals [VIDEO]
In a recent interview with Top Gear, director George Miller revealed some very exciting news for Mad Max fans.
Miller confirmed two more sequels for Mad Max Fury Road. Sometimes when things don't work out, there is an upside to it, as Miller revealed that as Fury Road kept getting pushed over a decade he managed to come up with enough material for more films. "This film [Fury Road] was green lit three times and fell over three times over a decade," Miller said. "We went to shoot with Mel Gibson back in 2001, but then 9/11 happened, and the American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar close to 30 per cent, so we lost that amount of budget overnight."
Further delays were caused by the rains in Australia which led the crew to the deserts of South West Africa, and in all this time it gave the director time to really get into the complexities that made the film impeccable.
"We were then rained out of Australia," Miller said. "The desert rained for the first time in 15 years, and we ended up in South West Africa, Namibia. But in this process, we had dug down deep into the backstory, not only of the characters, but of every vehicle. How the steering wheels became religious artefacts and things like that."
And he also. ended up with the material for two more scripts
"So we ended up with two scripts, without really trying," he added. "We're talking to the studio [Warner Bros] about it as we speak, but which one of the two stories will happen next, I'm not so sure."
Recently, Mad Max: Fury Road was also named the best film of 2015 as judged by the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).
