Miller: I’m Making More Mad Max Movies

After the potentially acrid news this week that some pissant yes-man might have been hired by Warner Brothers to shoot the next Mad Max movie when Miller said he was done, turn off the alarm.  Miller has recanted.  Speaking to The Wrap, George says;

“That was a completely garbled interview. I was in New York and it was so noisy and the journalist was asking me questions on a red carpet at the National Board of Review,” he said. “She completely got the wrong fragments of information that were just not true. I said no, [another ‘Mad Max’ movie] will not be next, and she took that to mean I never wanted to make another ‘Mad Max.’ It won’t necessarily be next, but I have two more stories.”

Now that you’ve read that, here is a refresher on what he said to the other interviewer;

“I won’t make more ‘Mad Max’ movies. ‘Fury Road’ with Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Riley Keough was forever getting completed. If you finish one in a year, it’s considered a leap of faith. Start, stop, start again.

I’ve shot in Australia in a field of wild flowers and flat red earth when it rained heavily forever. We had to wait 18 months and every return to the US was 27 hours. Those ‘Mad Maxes’ take forever. I won’t do those anymore.”

Now George, you wouldn’t be pulling a time-honoured regret pill of ‘blame the journalist’ would you?  The second paragraph seems pretty cut and dry to me, agitated and venting even.  Anway, good news.  Unless of course it’s some yarn exclusively about Charlize Theron and her bionic arm with a cameo from Tom Hardy.
