Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron Set for Mad Max 4?
We have known for sometime that a fourth Mad Max film was going to be developed. Sadly, we have also known that Mel Gibson was not going to be involved. Back in March, George Miller revealed that they were “going a different route.”
It was also proposed that the film would be in 3D anime at the time. We do not know if that is still the case but the last update we got was that the production was very interested in Jeremy Renner after his critical performance in the acclaimed The Hurt Locker.
Renner said he was going to meet Miller and screentest. I guess nothing has come from that as E! Online reports that Tom Hardy may be the guy they want.
“Instead, Miller is looking at little-known Brit Tom Hardy, whose credits include Black Hawk Down andBand of Brothers, to play opposite Theron.”
For the uber-geeks Hardy also played Shinzon, the Romulan-Picard clone villain in Star Trek: Nemesis. The quote mentioned Theron, yes that is Charlize Theron. Multiple sources tell E! News that she is director George Miller’s pick to play the lead female role in the upcoming, Mel-less Mad Max 4.
The article also says the “Mad Max revamp is a long way from fruition, and Miller is being very secretive about the roles and plot. Actors auditioning for the film have only been given a letter for their character’s name. The studio has yet to sign off on Miller’s choices, and no formal offers have been made.”
Well guess we know they are still planning on the film, anime, 3D or not. I wouldn’t mind seeing Theron kicking some leather clad butt in the film that is for sure.
