The Australian dystopian action media then created three other films "Mad Max" 2 (1981), "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" (1985), & "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015). However, even after the classic success of 2015"s "Mad Max: Fury Road" the planned sequel "Mad Max: The Wasteland" is stuck somewhere & because of this, everything is delayed.

Even before the script was written, George wanted the narrative of Fury Road lớn almost work without dialogue. The film"s shooting was expected khổng lồ start in 2003 with Mel Gibson returning. However, the production was canceled as there was an outbreak of the Iraq war that led to some security concerns over its planned Namibian shoot.

The Director Of Fury Road Wants to Conceive "Mad Max: The Wasteland"

It took a long time for George Miller lớn finally be ready for "Mad Max: Fury Road", và while he was working on finishing that, he had also completed two more scripts including "Mad Max: The Wasteland".

Going with what Miller has lớn say, "Mad Max: The Wasteland" will not be a direct sequel khổng lồ the previous movie, therefore, Furiosa won"t be a part of it. He also shared that he is looking forward khổng lồ making the movie with a smaller scale và with a probably lower budget and lesser stunts. After the release of Fury Road, the filmmaker did mô tả his interest in taking a break from making the series but definitely wants lớn come back to The Wasteland.

A Lawsuit Might Be The Reason For The Delay Of "Mad Max: The Wasteland"

A movie goes through several issues before releasing & something similar happened here. It is believed that Miller"s production company & Warner Bros indulged into a dispute over an unpaid bonus after the release of "Mad Max: Fury Road". According lớn what was decided, Miller"s company had lớn receive a $9M bonus if the production budget came under $157M. According khổng lồ Miller, it did, but the studio insisted on expensive reshoots and because of this, those sequences that were cut due lớn costs got added—increasing the final budget to lớn over $185M. Miller said that the studio was responsible for alteration và additional cost và that the bonus should have been paid.

However, the other side of the story claims that the studio counters their contract was for 100-minute, PG-13 film, while Miller made it into a 120-minute R-rate one. This led to lớn an increase in the budget. The fact that the movie is still stalled shows that both sides of the company are not ready to put their foot down.
