Short description
An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order.
What's left behind the scenes
- Eight film cameras were broken during filming.
- According to Tom Hardy, he specifically met with Mel Gibson to discuss taking on the role of Max. Gibson supported him and gave his blessing.
- When the project was still in development, Michael Biehn and Heath Ledger were considered for the role of Max.
- In February 2013, the "Namibian Coast Conservation Management Group" accused the filmmakers of damaging parts of the Namib Desert, leading to a reduction in the number of plant and animal species.
- John Powell was considered as the film's composer.
- Bert Newton was one of the first actors that director George Miller brought onto the project, back when the film was planned to be shot in Broken Hill (New South Wales, Australia), the same location as the filming of 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' (1981). Unfortunately, torrential rains completely altered the desert landscape, and several years later the decision was made to move filming to Namibia. By that time, Bert Newton had decided to leave the project.
- Liam Fountain, who starred in the short film "Mad Max: Renegade" (2011), auditioned for the role of Max.
- Teresa Palmer was originally on the casting list, but was forced to leave the project due to production delays. She was replaced by Abbey Lee.
- More than 80% of the shots were filmed live. Computer graphics were used minimally: to enhance the Namibian landscape, to remove equipment used during stunt filming that appeared in the shot, and for Charlize Theron's character's prosthetic arm.
