Miller is in a very enviable position right now. "Fury Road" was adored by people who love cinema, including film makers, actors and critics, in addition to being commercially successful.

I can absolutely respect Miller wanting to take advantage of this period to do whatever dream project he wants to do.

I think once it got rolling Fury Road was given carte blanche. It had a reported production budget of at least 150 million I think.

What would be difficult to replicate is the 10 years or so of pre-production of Fury Road.


A very good point that people gloss over. It's possible (nay, likely) that Fury Road was so astounding because of all the time that the director and his behind the camera crew had in coming up with ideas and fine tuning them. Miller has been hinting that any follow up to Fury Road would come from excess material he and his writing partner came up with while writing Fury Road, which just screams "lesser material" for some reason else why not make that the basis of the movie they were making?

Also it's been one year since Fury Road came out. Finally ordered the blu-ray through Amazon for $12.

Also am I wrong in saying that Junkie XL's score was really underrated? There were a lot of cool moments in this film that were all the more emotionally effective because of the score -- I'm thinking "Brother's in arms" playing during the motorcycle scene, the melodic section of "Storm is coming" accompanying key moments in Nux's journey, and "Let them up" playing as the returned group is accepted back into the Citadel. All these moments are very emotional but all the more gripping because the score is loving fantastic. Also the movie came out over a year ago and we're still geeking out about it.

Finally watched the Blu Ray, and it held my interest, this being my 6th viewing. One detail I finally noticed: Max gets Nux a replacement boot.
