Mel Gibson on Mad Max 4

Sci Fi UK had a piece on Mels take on the new rebooted Mad Max movie that creator/director George Miller that set to star Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy. When asked if he would appear in the new film he may have hinted that there is a Cameo in the cards for the original Max. But never really came outright and said it.

“Oh yeah, I’ve talked to George,” Gibson said in a press conference over the weekend in Santa Monica, Calif. “Yeah, we’ve had a good chin wag about it. We talk all the time anyway, George and I, so I’m abreast of that.”

“I know he’s been trying to do this for years, the fourth installment,” Gibson continued. “At one point I was involved, and it felt a bit [wrong], and then this and that, so now it’s probably gone through a lot of changes. I can’t wait to see it, because everything he does I think is magic, I think is a touch of genius, more than a touch of genius about George. Probably most of any good trick I’ve ever learned, I’ve learned off that guy and Peter Weir”

We can only hope to see Mel one more time in this franchise. It also is good to see that he is not holding grudges about being replaced as Max Rockatansky as some actors may have been. Still he has some time to decide since the film is not ready to be shot until August 2010 in Australia.
