Mad Max 4 Goes Anime

March 6th, 2009 in Action, Animation, Directors, Screenwriting -

Ditching the live-action route, the fourth Mad Max film will be a 3D animated feature without any involvement from Mel Gibson.

"I see myself as someone who is very curious about storytelling and all its various media,” said writer/director George Miller. “I’ve always loved anime, in particular the Japanese sensibility. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do."

The story will be partially taken from the script that was to be shot in 2003 until financing fell through. It was also mentioned that a tie-in action-adventure game would be released alongside the film.

    Un anime para la mejor serie de road movies en la historia no creo que sea una buena idea ojala y cambien de opinion preferiria un max4 incluso sin Mel Gibson, si algo caracteriza a esta serie es su forma de realizar las escenas de riesgo sin ayudas digitales y ahora toda la pelicula sera por ordenador, jajajajaja se le falta el respeto al loco max y a sus fans.

    I hope that all goes well for Miller and company, but I also hope that they eventually give us a live action film.
