P.s, Mad Max 4 filming commences in Africa soon (Australia isn't dry and brown enough at the moment)

I know this because an acquaintance is heading there for 3 months to film soon !

Yep... they've gone to Namibia. Broken Hill was too green due to the record rain - they would've been filming by now.

Pics are starting to appear of vehicles being used... mad!

Nah, Tom Hardy's got the lead role. He's not a bad actor...
I'm looking forward to it

The movie has been delayed several times... back around 2001 they had almost started preproduction. It was going to be filmed in Africa back then and Mel Gibson was slated to return. It was then canned due to civil unrest and 911 basically. (a few cars had already been put together).

Fast Forward to Broken Hill and some practice runs had been carried out, vehicles were delivered... people moved in, a road several KM long was built on a farm etc etc.... and then the rains came in. So it got delayed again and 18months later a decision had to be made.

While its a bit odd doing it overseas (no doubt the high aussie doller maybe had a hand in it) as there are plenty of dry and arid places here in Aus... but some of the filming locations have been revealled and it dont look too bad.

It will be interesting to see what the movie is about as there has been a lot secrecy about the plot and no one has leaked anything!

No its set between MM2 and MM3 (thankfully!)....
Though apparently there may be some flashbacks to MM2 as the Interceptor makes an appearance (was told 2 of them have been built, so im assuming one gets destroyed as its the stunt car). So it may fill in some gaps or create new ones!

The tax breaks involved with filming the bulk of the film overseas will increase the profit the Australian production company making this picture.

I heard over 400 people are heading to Namibia for this !
