Footage better leak...

Completely missed it when I first saw it but Immortan Joe's poster has Rictus Erectus riding on top. lol

EDIT: Apparently George has the screenplay done for FURIOSA and the "novelization of another, but it's a very rough novel,".

The furiosa screenplay was talked about way back in 2010, looks like that was true....

I should point out he doesn't call it that but said more movies were needed for FURY ROAD and that the screenplay was finished for another one and a novelization for the third.

Also for that Burbank screening, unlike last time it's a "controlled" one where only those 28 years old and younger are permitted.

Even if he didn't call it "Mad Max: Furiosa" by name, it sounds like the sequel will follow both Max and Furiosa (and perhaps others), where they're either together at the beginning of the movie or cross paths at some point. Not sure if I'm keen on a sequel following the exploits of more characters than just Max, but that opinion could change after FR. Kinda makes me wonder if Miller is more interested in telling Furiosa's story but is hamstrung by having to make a Mad Max movie.

From what I've seen, max isn't the hero of this film. The film seems focused equally on him and furiosa or maybe more furiosa as she is the one taking the fight to the road gangs. Max is quite literally a passenger for the footage from what people have said. Think you're right, he sees furiosa's story as the more interesting moving forward.

well i think everyone is gonna love it. I worked as a stunt guy on it for 5 1/2 months and the action will blow you away.
obviously i can't give away much on here but as they release pictures i'll comment on small things for you.
I'd like to draw your attention to one thing i thought was cool and thats on the comicon "lovely day" poster . The attention to detail on ALL the vehicles on FR was amazing! The production team headed by colin gibson need an oscar for the detail and imagination they put into the movie that unfortunately for most people will not be seen. On the BoB in that poster the rear wheel is stuffed with rags from and obvious overuse in the wasteland and i have video i took of all the interior from the breakfast in swakopmund production put on(i posted the pics originally ). The only prob is its saved in some weird format i can't post.
I can say we(the stunt guys/girls) are in the same boat and can't wait till we see the final product

Another take (from IGN) on what was screened, with some new details. Like that guy from the April screening said, the movie drops you into the deep end of the pool, so to speak, with very little exposition (I'm looking at you, Nolan).

As for Mad Max, imagery adorning the extra-wide screens that circles most of Hall H for the Warners panel featured the slogan “Fire Blood Oil,” which any Max fan could tell you pretty much sums up life in the Wasteland. Charlize Theron provided a video message, introducing a highlight reel of the Mel Gibson era of Max with images from each of the original three films -- which all looked great on the huge screens of the hall. As this reel came to a close, text flashed onscreen: “All the power… all the chaos… all the madness… has led to now.”

Miller introduced the footage to Fury Road, and it looks crazy and extreme and over-the-top and awesome and terrifying. It’s unlike any other Mad Max film, featuring the classic jalopy car chases in the desert that made the series so famous but also huge CGI spectacles of sand storms and tornadoes and guys getting sucked into both while burning alive. This didn’t feel like family friendly Hall H material, but I, as a Mad Max fan, was very intrigued.

We first see the new Max standing on a desolate hill with his back to us, next to his trusty V8 Interceptor. A two-headed lizard -- this is the end of the world, don’t forget -- slithers towards Max, who stamps on it quickly and gobbles it down as he turns towards the camera. His hair is long as is his beard, Beyond Thunderdome style, but this film feels much darker than that entry. Radio signals can be heard with voices talking about the fall of civilization. “My name is Max,” we hear him say. “My world is fire and blood.”

From there we cut to a crazy array of vehicles pursuing Max, who soon wipes out and is taken hostage by the animalistic pursuers. He undergoes a series of horrors next: They chain him by his wrists to the back of one of their vehicles and force him to try to keep up on foot while they drive, they cut his hair, tattoo most of his back with some words or letters (the shot flashed by too quickly to catch them), and he’s eventually chained to the front of a vehicle not unlike those poor suckers from The Road Warrior.

We see glimpses of Theron, whose head is shaved and who is protecting a group of young women, some of whom are pregnant and all of whom are dressed in white -- the only glimpse of life in this horrific land. Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played the bad guy Toecutter in the original film, is back here at the leader of this awful group of monsters. He’s wearing a skull mask something-or-other over half his face, but the guy’s eyes are offputtingly recognizable nonetheless. He opens a vault as we hear the words “You will rise from the ashes of this world,” and inside, scrawled on the floor, are the words “Who killed the world?”

There are also a bunch of freaks who are reminiscent of Scrooloose from Beyond Thunderdome -- wearing white body paint and bald, only much more disturbing. Nicholas Hoult (a.k.a. Beast from X-Men: Days of Future Past) seems to be playing one of these guys, with chapped lips you gotta see to believe, and it’s his vehicle that Max is riding in when the ramshackle caravan of cars and trucks and car-trucks makes its way into the tremendous storm on the horizon. “What a day, what a lovely day,” he screams as they approach the storm. He spray-paints his mouth silver in a burst of weird glory and then cracks a gas line so he can blow up his own vehicle. Max averts this fate for them both, but they crash. When he awakens in the sand, Max meets up with Theron’s group and finally takes the wheel of a car, giving the thumbs up to his new comrade.

To which I can really only say, what the hell? I was somewhat amazed by this footage because it just seemed so out there, particularly by Comic-Con standards. I’m not sure I know what to make of this film any more than I did before I saw this footage, but I definitely remain very intrigued.

This sounds absolutely incredible. Shame the posters are dogshit. Warner needs to hire a new art department. I've seen better fanmade stuff in these forums over the years.
