Miller Talks Mel Gibson And Fury Road, New Trailer

Good news today as the MPAA themselves have confirmed that Mad Max: Fury road will indeed be R-rated.  Just like the original movies.  Minus the third movie of course, which Miller was only involved in to direct the action scenes.  In regards to the previous films, Miller spoke with The Huffington Post recently about how there originally were plans to include Gibson in some capacity as an older Max – but the time ultimately passed:

“We were going to do it with Mel and we were within reach of doing it with Mel. Then 9/11 happened and the American dollar fell against the Australian dollar. The budget ballooned. … By the time we were ready for Fury Road again, Mel had all those troubles. It also definitely got to the stage where it wasn’t like Unforgiven, where it plays with an older guy. It was definitely the younger guy, the same guy.”

Finally, a new Japanese trailer for the film has gone up which you can see below. The movie opens May 15th.
