Wow. This time Miller is doing this for good.

Yes, Yes, Yes!

They've been showing the press conference with George Miller on newsbreaks here in S.A. all afternoon.

Didn't see the 6pm news, but my wife said that Aussie Sam Worthington has already been cast.

Anyone know if this is true?

She also said that Charlize Theron had been cast. Sounded like B.S. to me!

BRING BACK THE FERAL KID - Emil contact Geroge Millers Production Company - I'm sure all the fans would like to see you don the rabbit ugg boots again!

Thanks for the link. If they're working on cars, I have to wonder where this falls on the timeline. Well, we have more time to speculate.

Here's a story about the MM video mashup. It sounded silly to me, but there are actually a couple of laughs:

I am very hesitant to buy into all of this, but part of me wants to just scream "It's really happening!!!"

I'm just going to be cautiously optimistic. Go, George, go!

OK, tell me this isn't the BoB Mk II (it is; you know it is):

And if it is...HOW?

And who's Mullet Guy? Looks like the Lair all grown up. (Maybe it's Poida's cousin.)

Finally, look at the eerie similarities:

INTERESTING: In that video a reporter offscreen asked George "is Mel Gibson an option?" when he was talking about casting. His response was a non-committal "Everyone's an option". (this prompted a laugh from one of them men standing behind him)

If true, this seems to bear out the theory I've had about this for a while. Mel is hesitant to do it, and/or George is hesitant to cast him. But one or both sides are holding out hope that Mel could still happen. George has never really said that he wouldn't want Mel. He simply said that he believes Mel is no longer interested. He also made some comments about Mel being too old. But I bet you this - if Mel has a change of heart I guarantee you that George has a version of this movie with an older Max that is ready to go.

Maybe they're dragging their feet on the casting a bit, hoping that Mell will jump in at the last minute, not wanting to see his signature role go to someone else. In casting a franchise movie, sometimes a negotiating strategy is to start looking to someone new for a signature role to let a star know you're looking elsewhere - so that they'll realize they're replaceable and then cut their large fee.

If Mel was DEFINITELY not an option, and if George DEFINITELY didn't want him to play the part, he would have said so during that press conference.

Maybe it's time for fans to let Mel (and George) know that they only want to see the movie with him in it (of course, we'd still see it no matter what, but don't tell Mel that right now.)

I am writing a item to put on my website right now based on a post I did in another thread. The more is out there, the better. And I really need to update that site! I need to do an item about the Abbyshot jacket too.
