After five films over nearly four decades, director George Miller has had enough with the Road Warrior. In an interview with The New York Post’s Page Six, Miller stated he will not be directing any more Mad Max Films.
“I’ve shot in Australia in a field of wild flowers and flat red earth when it rained heavily forever. We had to wait 18 months and every return to the US was 27 hours. Those ‘Mad Maxes’ take forever. I won’t do those anymore.”
Despite telling Entertainment Weekly recently that he would consider spin-off film with Imperator Furiosa, it seems he’s done with the series. Given that Fury Road was one of the best reviewed films of the year, there’s no doubt we’ll see another Mad Max film of some type down the line, with or without Miller’s involvement.
