The wicked posters are heavily photoshopped and brushed over to give a comicbook like effect. While the poster featuring Hardy as the titular character shows him in a state of measured anguish, the other posters are chock-full of wild thrill and menace, with Charlize Theron channelling a potent dose of manic aggression.
The first look at Mad Max: Fury Road, was revealed via Entertainment Weekly's July cover. The cover story gave away some more information about the sequel to the original, Mad Max (1979).

Both the original and the new adaptation have been directed by George Miller. Miller also stated that the movie will feature very little CGI with 80% of the reel capturing naturally executed stunts. But also stated that he was working on creating, "not just a physical experience, but an intense emotional one."
In the interview with Entertainment Weekly Hardy added that the seven month shoot in the hot desert, which was completely dead and parched, was both taxing and rewarding.
"It was mental in a brilliant way," Hardy said. "You have no concrete, no coffee shops. We were in the middle of a sandpit."
The story in EW also reveals that the shoot was exceptionally gruelling given the desert heat, dust and gritty atmosphere. Doing action sequences in these circumstances only made it tougher. "Nothing about this movie was a walk in the park," Theron told the publication. "Vanity went out the window."
Miller also spoke to IndieWire recently about avoiding reliance on a script and dialogue: "To not have to rely on dialogue...I knew right off the bat that this was going to be like a huge ballet."
The shoot took 116 days and featured very little dialogue and few digital effects.
Mad Max: Fury Road will hit theaters on May 15 2015.
