George Miller, director of “Mad Max: Fury Road” said the report by New York Post which quoted the director, “I won’t make more Mad Max movies”, is garbled.
Cries of disappointment exploded from film Fury Road as the media reported on Tuesday that Mr. Miller will not make any more of its series. The remake of the Mad Max series became the hit with its unique plot, stunning visuals, and overwhelming music. The Fury Road has ten nominations for Oscar including Best Picture and Best Director.
Mr. Miller spoke to TheWrap about the report from New York Post, snuffing any speculation over the director letting the series go.
“That was a completely garbled interview. I was in New York and it was so noisy and the journalist was asking me questions on a red carpet at the National Board of Review,” The director said. “She completely got the wrong fragments of information that were just not true. I said no, (another ‘Mad Max’ movie) will not be next, and she took that to mean I never wanted to make another ‘Mad Max.’ It won’t necessarily be next, but I have two more stories.”
“What happened to Max after ‘Fury Road’? What happened before ‘Fury Road’? What happened to the other characters?” Mr. Miller said. “Those stories are there - probably not as the next film but the film after. I’d like to do one of them.”
But he also mentioned a possibility of another director following his footsteps as another Mad Max director. “There are so many other directors out there. People are directing younger and younger. They’re getting a real sense of cinema very, very early. There are some great directors out there.”
