1989) concept suggests, the more translucent cultural barriers become, the more culture assimilates. In the case of Fury Road, the film initially was conceived as an homage to the Japanese anime Akira, a notable departure from the quintessential Australian flavour of the earlier films.Īs the “global village” (McLuhan M, Powers B.R.
For many, this cultural appropriation “where human agents self-consciously and creatively combine local with global cultural formations” (Schiller, 1991) is a direct response to the globalisation of the media, and by extension the ever-present need to appeal to global audiences. This is a question being asked about many other contemporary films produced globally each year. Combined with an American and English cast and crew, it’s easy to begin asking just how Australian is Fury Road? The film was actually shot in Namibia, South Africa with the only minor scenes shot locally. But the film was still shot in Australia right? Wrong. It’s true, Tom Hardy (a notably English actor) had come in to replace Mel Gibson as Max with a passable Australian accent, and Charlize Theron (a South African actress with an American dialect) played essentially the lead character in the film as Furiosa. However, as I sat there watching Max navigate the “Australian” wasteland a thought slowly manifested in my mind: How much of this is actually Australian? It was because it represented the hybridity of Australian filmmaking with Hollywood, and the potential revival of the Australian film industry. No, it wasn’t just because of the practical effects, cinematography, or approach from Australian director George Miller. The filming of Fury Road memory remains a trying experience for its actors who will apologize to George Miller at the screening of the Cannes Film Festival after discovering one of the greatest masterpieces of contemporary cinema.Mad Max: Fury Road was perhaps my favourite film this year. Production will start in southern Australia before being relocated to Namibia due to very unusual heavy rains in the region. The roles will eventually go to Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would not have failed to clash in the post-apo landscape imagined by George Miller. It was then financial problems and the war in Iraq that once again delayed the start of construction. Production was brought to a halt by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In 2001, George Miller was actively preparing the shooting of the fourth opus of his franchise madmaxwithout Mel Gibson. The information is worth its weight in peanuts!īrangelina in MAD MAX: FURY ROAD? Here’s a little tease from my mammoth FURY ROAD book, out 2/22, which details how the film almost came together in 2001 with some *very* different stars considered: /zpKmYHXcApīrad and Angelina vs. About ten days before the publication of his literally titanic work, the fine connoisseur begins to reveal some juicy extracts in which the involvement in the film of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie from 2001 is mentioned, that is to say at least four years before the meeting of the most emblematic couple of the first decade of the 2000s. In his book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Roadin bookstores on February 22, journalist Kyle Buchanan uses his encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture to tell the story of the chaotic production of Mad Max 4. When the possibility of making his dream come true, George Miller thinks of populating it with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, THE glamorous couple of the 2000s. Dozens of years will be necessary for him to refine this desire for cinema. At the origin of the project, George Miller’s desire to stage a pure and simple chase with dialogues reduced to the strict minimum. Camped by Tom Hardy, Mad Max is upstaged by a badass heroine, Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron. The thrice-delayed film will finally hit the screens in 2015. Brad and Angelina lost in the Australian bush? This is the recipe that filmmaker George Miller could have served us if he had managed to shoot Mad Max: Fury Road twenty years earlier.
