What was happening before Mad Max? This director's strange idea

Filmmaker Justin Kurzel would like to pitch a new film in the franchise to its creator, George Miller.

In full promotion of his next feature film, The Order – without release date here but scheduled for December 6 in the United States -, Justin Kurzel (The Crimes of Snowtown, Assassin's Creed, Nitram…), confided to Collider his passion for the saga Mad Max. And the director even has an idea: “ I've always been curious about what happened before the first Mad Max. What this world was like with the Nightrider » before the first film? Amazing idea (is there really any point in exploring a universe that is not already in the beginning stages of collapse?), but Kurzel would like “ talk to George Miller about the possibility of a world before Mad Max 1. It's a film that has always intrigued me because it had a huge influence on my time “.

And to add that Mad Max East ” an extraordinary frankness. I always wanted to know the moments that preceded the first film because everything is put in place with crazy storyline richness. »

A priori, all this will remain a fantasy, the unfortunate failure of Furiosa ($173 million in worldwide revenue) seems to have killed Mad Max for quite a while.
