Yeah, sure, we’ve heard this all before, haven’t we?

Apparently, hot on the heels of the rumor hitting ground that Patrick Stewart was looking to head to Aussieland to work with George Miller, and since George Miller only had three projects at the time, most people (us included!) were deducing that Stewart was involved in Fury Road, the new Mad Max installment.

Well, naturally, Patrick Stewart’s publicists got frantically on the horn (when MTV called them to follow up)  and announced that there was NO WAY Patrick Stewart was EVER going to be involved in such a project. Nope.  Uh-uh.  No way.  Not a chance.  Never.

And we’ve heard this kind of denial before, haven’t we?  Sure we have.  So hold out a bit of hope, folks–just not too much.  After all, many times in Hollywood, no does in fact mean no…but there are plenty of times where no has turned out to be yes.
