Is Mad Max 5 Shooting This Fall in Australia?

Mad Max 5will reportedly begin shooting this fall in Australia. It is believed that director George Miller has been given the green light by the studio to move forward with the long-talked about sequel. In the summer of 2019, Miller said that there were possibly two sequels in the works, one titledWastelandand the other titledFuriosa, which could still very much be the plan. We haven’t heard from the director since late last year when he promised that the next installment was still in development.

As was the case back in December 2019,George Miller needs to make Three Thousand Years of Longingwith Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton first. It is believed that the production on that particular project will begin next month, which should leave Miller with plenty of time to get into gear forMad Max 5. “I’m not done with theMad Maxstory and I think you have to be a multi-tasker and there’s certainly another Mad Max coming down the pike after this,” said the director.

Multitasking seems to be something that George Miller is good at. He has been working onMad Max 5andThree Thousand Years of Longingat the same time, noting that when he takes a break to work on one or the other, it’s like a “holiday.” Miller went on to say, “It helps you achieve that objectivity, to look at the thing afresh each time and say, I thought I was doing this, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.” As for how juggling the writing of two projects worked out for Miller, we’ll just have to wait and see.

As for what the storyline forMad Max 5will focus on,George Millerhas not yet revealed that. Miller, with the legal battles with Warner Bros. now over, has said that one movie will focus on Mad Max while the other will focus on Furiosa, which would explain theFuriosatitle, though Mad Max is supposed to be featured in both sequels. As for whether or not we’ll end up getting two movies, that remains to be seen. However, fans have been waiting a long time to see a follow up toMad Max: Fury Road.

IfMad Max 5really ends up going into production later this year, we could end upseeing the movie sooner than originally anticipated, possibly by the end of 2021, if all goes well on the production side of things. Warner Bros. is eager to continue the story as they noted at the beginning of last year, while also excited to getThe Matrix 4off of the ground at the same time. Whatever the case may be, George Miller is ready to get to work onMad Max 5. The production start date was originally reported byGeeks World Wide.
