In case you’re one of the people who, for some unfathomable
reason, missed it in the theaters, Mad Max: Fury Road, the
best action movie of the year, is hitting the home video market. It’s already
available via digital download, and Blu-ray on September 1. One of the features
is a trio of deleted scenes, and now you can watch them below. Enjoy.
You may or may not have noticed, but Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my favorite movies of the year—maybe number one,
easily top five (and I hate ranking movies). After tear-assing through theaters
worldwide, it’s getting ready to wreak havoc on home video, and to mark the
occasion, Warner Bros. released this new Blu-ray trailer.
If you hoped that Mad Max: Fury Road,
director/mastermind George Miller’s first visit to the post-apocalyptic wastes
we last saw 30 years ago in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was
going to be nuts, you’re in luck, because it’s crazier than you ever dared
dream. Often described as one long chase scene, that’s not an inaccurate portrayal,
as it’s wall-to-wall visceral action, insane practical stunts, highly stylized
production, with a more thoughtful take on the apocalyptic than you probably
expect.
At this point, there’s not much more to say about
Mad Max: Fury Road. Next week it finally roars into theaters
after massive delays, reshoots, and the most epic marketing campaign that you’ve
ever seen. We got a deeper look at Tom Hardy’s Max Rockatansky the other day,
and now his partner in crime, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) has a featurette of
her own. Take a look after the jump.
Next week. That’s when Mad Max: Fury Road
finally, after years and just about the bumpiest road you can imagine for any
movie, roars into theaters on a wave of gasoline and exhaust fumes, and I
couldn’t be more excited. A new featurette digs into the hero, Max Rockatansky,
now played by Tom Hardy, peeling back some of the layers of mystery surrounding
him.
Mad Max: Fury Road. At this point, those
four words fill me with an indescribable glee. Everything we’ve seen from
George Miller’s return to the post-apocalyptic wastes he first visited in 1979
is totally nuts. Now, in addition to the crazy trailers and posters, we’ve got
no less than six clips from what is easily our most anticipated movie of 2015
(hell, it’s been in the can long enough that it was also our most anticipated
movie of 2013 and 2013).
My reaction to Mad Max: Fury Road is gut
level and primal. I can’t see a TV spot, photo of a car, or poster without giggling
like a mindless chimp. That, of course, extends to this new and purportedly
“final” trailer for George Miller’s upcoming return to the post-apocalyptic
wastes. Check it out after the jump.
It’s been 30 years since the last Mad Max
movie, and if you somehow forgot that, or it’s just been a while since you’ve
revisited the original trilogy, director George Miller and company are back
with another trailer for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road
that pays homage to what came before. But don’t fret, it’s still batshit crazy
and full of a grip of cool new footage.
Mad Max: Fury Road is just over a month
away, and every time I think I can’t be more pumped for this, they go and do
something crazy like drop these two new international TV spots and a bunch of
new posters, and it’s like it’s all the first time I’m hearing about this all
over again. So check out all of that and try to contain your drool.
