Director Miller Wants More Penguins, "Mad Max 4" Without Mel Gibson
If you've got a thing for dancing penguins, you'll be happy to hear that ComingSoon.net is reporting -- via the AAP -- that "Happy Feet" co-writer, director, and producer George Miller is seriously contemplating a sequel to the CGI-animated hit.
"Happy Feet" has racked up awards and grossed $350 million worldwide since its 2006 release, making a sequel almost a foregone conclusion for everyone involved; Miller, however, has other things he wants to do first -- including going back to the dystopian, gas-parched future:
Will we see penguins in a post-apocalyptic future for "Happy Feet 2"?
"It's certainly now a real possibility, (but) there's about two or three films I want to do before we would ever embark on that, including another 'Mad Max' sooner or later."
"Apocalypto" fans be warned, however: Miller has already said that Mel Gibson will most likely not be involved in "Mad Max 4."

on Jan 26 2007 01:56 PM [b]No Mel Gibson?[/b] How are they going to do Mad Max without Mad Max? Please just make this movie about the Mad Max world and not have a Mad Max character in the movie at all. Maybe characters can reference him or something but I'd hate to see somebody else playing Mad Max. A prequel wouldn't even work 'cause Mel Gibson was young as hell in the first Mad Max. Just hire Mel again, please! Pleeeaaaasse! (Reply to this) |

on Jan 26 2007 04:58 PM Mad Max sucked as soon as they recked his car! And Happy feet was so boring half the kids in the Cinema were asleep! (Reply to this) |
on Jan 26 2007 08:04 PM The Road Warrior in my opinion is the greatest action movie of all time, so to leave out Mel Gibson who made the role is a shame. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 27 2007 10:21 AM I don't see any use in making another Mad Max without Mel. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 27 2007 07:10 PM Mad Max without Mel? Why not a Forest Gump 2 without Tom Hanks or Indy 4 without Harrison Ford? Like renodc said...no use without Mel. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 28 2007 06:31 AM Some people think that a Terminator 4 without Arnie isn't such a big deal, but Mad Max is a different ball game alltogether and it will probably suck like the dystopian remake RollerBlade....as an Aussie, who used to own a car just like Max's (without the fuel mod's in the boot), i lost interest after they made the mistake of driving camels.
