Mad Max creator George Miller has the next installment in his dystopian franchise on the way with the upcoming release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, but already has a complete idea for yet another movie, this time focusing on Max and where he was before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road.
“In doing what we did in the preparation of Mad Max: Fury Road, we also wrote what happened to Max in the year before we encounter him in,” Miller said in an interview withEntertainment Weekly. The filmmaker explained that the movie - if it happens - will take place in between the events of Fury Road and its prequel Furiosa, which features a glimpse at Mad Max and his recognizable car.
“As we get towards the end of [Furiosa],” continued Miller, “We had to see that Mad Max was lurking around somewhere because we do know what happened. The writers know what happened to Mad Max in that year before, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do sometime if I get the chance.”
So when is the project coming, if it is given the green light? “Well, we are certainly working on it,” Miller confirmed. “And as I say, we wrote that basically as a novella, and now we’ve got a chance, we will get that into a screenplay form, and then we’ll take it from there.”
Furiosa hits theaters on May 24. For more on Furiosa, check out ourexclusive images from the filmandHemsworth explaining how he got into character, or keep up withnew moviesheading your way this year.
