However, this expensive, long-awaited prequel was nowhere near as delayed as its immediate predecessor.
Per Gibson, I think he had planned that right from 1987.
Despite numerous setbacks and obstacles, including production delays and geopolitical turmoil, Millers vision persisted.
InMad Max: Fury Roads near-wordless story, Max is first glimpsed being taken hostage by the War Boys.
This economic upset made international co-production finanically impossible.
Per Miller, Gibsons focus on his directing career and his aging were the issue.
The project was always planned to be an R-rated reboot with minimal dialogue, but casting Max proved tricky.
Mad Max: Fury Road was shot in Namibia as had originally been planned over a decade earlier.
Meanwhile, countless action movies attempted to ape Millers distinctive style.
However, its journey to the big screen was undoubtedly hard-won.
By 2015, outside observers could have been forgiven for assuming the movie was cursed.
