Rumor: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Prequel to Be in Development
Australia’s Herald-Sun claims that pre-production on Mad Max: The Wasteland is well underway and looking to film in the Broken Green area of the Outback. Additionally, they say the film will focus on the backstory of Theron’s character, Imperator Furiosa.
Outside of the news article, there’s been no confirmation or talk regarding a possible prequel coming from either Miller’s camp or Warner Bros. Pictures.
Regarding the location of Broken Hill, Dark Horizons points out that the area is generally barren and the original plan was to film Fury Road there. However, unforeseen rains flood the location making it green and fertile – something that obviously wouldn’t fit into the dusty, barren landscape Miller needed for his movie – so filming was moved to nearby Namibia.
Now that Broken Hill is once again a dry, dusty landscape, it’s entirely possible that Miller wants to take advantage of this environment for The Wasteland, lest he once again misses out on shooting there. That definitely adds a sense of plausibility to this current rumor.
