Mad Max: Fury Road News and Release Date: Tom Hardy conceptualizes Max Rockatansky

George Miller, the director behind the Mad Max franchise had described Mad Max: Fury Road a "western on wheels." Indeed this was a continuation from the original films, as Indiewire noted, "archetypes of the western genre". The original Max Rockatansky was played by Mel Gibson in the first three films where it launched his career worldwide. Clint Eastwood has always been the archetype of a western movie and, Mad Max was, thus, similarly molded with this genre. Miller, introduced Gibson in the franchise with "The Man With No Name."

Mad Max Fury Road stars British actor Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky. He is supported by Charlize Theron, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Nicholas Hoult and an ensemble cast.

In the meantime, check the video made by Dave Black, as a tribute to Max Rockatansky. It is scored by "Once Upon A Time In The West", the three-minute-and-twenty-second long montage, titled "The Man We Called Max," cuts scenes from the original trilogy-in the wrong aspect ratio, we must note-into a wonderfully moody piece that accentuates Miller's kinetic tendencies.

Mad Max: Fury Road Release date will be on May 15, 2015.
