Mad Max: Fury Road Set Pics

Finally, Mad Max: Fury Road has began filming.  One of the most anticipated sequels of the last few years (or last two decades perhaps) is finally on set and being filmed.  Not much is known about the film except that Tom Hardy will take over the role made famous by Mel Gibson in three films in the late 70's and into the 80's.  Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters next year and enjoy these set pics that popped up on the net from an unknown source and see if you can spot Tom Hardy sporting quite the bushy beard!

Three New Mad Max Films?!

New Mad Max films have been in the works for a while now with Tom Hardy starring in them as Mad Max.  George Miller has apparently written scripts for two films, the first is Fury Road and the second Furiosa.  Now it seems that Miller has not two but three films planned and to shoot them all back to back to back! According to the Australlian Financial Review the films are set for production sometime next year after numerous delays due to weather. Here are key elements from the article:

Set for production next year, it seems, is Fury Road. Furiosa has been scripted and storyboarded, and now, Miller has gotten deep into the writing of a third part. Here are the key quotes: 
     Fury Road was to shoot in Broken Hill in September last year, then April 2011, but heavy rain had turned the desert into a flower garden and the water table stubbornly refused to drop. The film will now shoot in Namibia from April with additional filming and post-production back in Australia.
      Miller has, in fact, written a whole new trilogy. “We started with [Fury Road], but we then started to do a second story and a third,” he says. “We’ve written the script for the second and almost finished the third. We never intended to, they were part of the exploration of the characters.”
