Oh wow…movie geeks out there, brace yourselves, because I’m gonna make your WHOLE day.

A recent interview with The Man Himself, Patrick Stewart, indicated that he was possibly looking to head out to Australia to work on a movie with George Miller.  Now, there’s one of three possibilities as to what that movie could be.  There’s The Odyssey, which is really just a rumor at this point, followed up by Happy Feet 2, which Stewart specifically denied involvement in, and lastly, there’s the sequel to Mad Max, Fury Road.

And the mere thought of Patrick Stewart somehow involved in a Mad Max movie makes me tingle with glee.  I mean, COME ON.  Patrick Stewart is a genius.  The bulk of his work is unbelievable.  Even some of the more throwaway voice work is still fantastic stuff.

That and I’ll never rag on a guy who’s also a Transmetropolitan fan.  Seriously, the guy wrote the foreword for Lonely City.  Check it out sometime.

So hopefully this will turn out to be the case and give me one more reason to catch Fury Road, although admittedly I have enough as it is.
