#MAD MAX FURY ROAD CAST GUITAR PLAYER MOVIE#
After all, the whole movie is one nearly unbroken chase scene. At a time in which studio sequels and franchises are becoming increasingly perfunctory, like this year’s Fantastic Four reboot, Fury Road is daring and dazzling, completely unafraid to take chances. The nearly silent movie features a male protagonist that doesn’t speak, a one-armed female warrior who does all the heavy lifting, and some of the most exhilarating action sequences ever seen on film. Like 2013’s long-delayed Gravity, Mad Max: Fury Road isn't just a miracle - it's a hail Mary of Gonzo filmmaking. The ultimate indication of how long Mad Max: Fury Road has been in development? At one point, Mel Gibson was in talks to come back to the franchise, according to The Huffington Post. However, the shoot was put on hold by the 9/11 attacks, the onslaught of the Iraq War, and Ledger’s tragic death.
The film has been mired in production hell for the past 18 years director George Miller began work on the film all the way back in 1997, with Fury Road intended to begin filming in late 2001 with Heath Ledger in the title role. It’s difficult to express what a miracle it is that Mad Max: Fury Road, however, even got made, let alone be as good and critically acclaimed as it is.
In the weeks since, the film has reaped major kudos from both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.ĭespite its lesbian plotline and female-focused cast, Carol’s success isn't much of a shock - it's a period piece drama starring A-list actresses. ( Spotlight, the All the Presidents’ Men-style look at the team of journalists behind the Boston Globe’s 2002 exposé on sexual abuse in the Catholic church, had been heavily favored to win that award.) Meanwhile, Mad Max: Fury Road proved to be an even bigger surprise at last month’s National Board of Review, when it was named as the year’s best film over conventional Oscar fare like Bridge of Spies and Room. Todd Haynes’ radiant 1950s drama Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, earned Best Picture and Best Director prizes from the New York Film Critics Circle. After dominating the early prizes, a pair of movies are upending the 2015 Oscar race.
