Fury Road Wraps

Fury Road Wraps

Almost 30 years ago the Mel Gibson, Tina Turner, and Angry Anderson starring ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome’ was released with direction by George Miller marking the completion of a trilogy that began in 1979, though there was little that felt “complete” about the Mad Max series. With Mel Gibson off the series, Tom Hardy is taking over as the leading man, and the new film ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ is well and truly on the way following several false starts over the years.

It has been announced that after pre-production began in Australia, and with a subsequent shift to Namibia and South Africa, principal photography on the film has wrapped after a six-month period.

Post-production on the film is intended to occur in Australia, the film is targeting a 2014 release window.

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
