Could Mad Max: Fury Road Be Getting a Prequel?

The fourth entry into the Mad Max series was last year’s runaway success. It was the long awaited return of George Miller to the franchise, a welcome one at that, and it blew the collective filmgoers’ minds just with astonishing visuals, tight focus, great performances, and invisible computer generated effects.

Interest in another Mad Max movie exists. The films are notable in that each one can be taken as its own thing. One does not need to watch The Road Warrior to enjoy Fury Road. What’s odd about this rumor is that the next film will be a prequel to Fury Road, which would eschew Miller’s approach to the series. In all likelihood, this rumor is exactly that–a rumor. However, that should not douse your hopes for another film.

In the meantime, fans of Fury Road can look forward to a rerelease on Blu-Ray, entitled Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition, which will feature the theatrical cut and a black and white cut. It will see a US release of 6 December, with a UK release soon to follow.
