Although it seemed unlikely that we'd ever get a proper fourth MAD MAX movie, we still may see the wasteland warrior once more. Even better, we'll get to BE him.

Writer-director George Miller, the guy behind the MAD MAX trilogy (not to mention BABE, HAPPY FEET and the apparently unavoidable JLA movie), wants to put some texture-mapped polygon pants on his post-apocalyptic badass. Miller is crafting a MAD MAX videogame along with game director Cory Barlog, the lead developer of GOD OF WAR 2.

From the sound of it, Miller still seems intent on getting MAD MAX: FURY ROAD thundering ahead as a movie again (production stalled back in 2003), but Mel Gibson wouldn't be involved. Miller's ideal plan would be to synch the release of both the movie and game, and utilize the same cast for both. Check out the lengthy interview with Miller, in which he gets into his thoughts on storytelling via games, what happened to FURY ROAD, and much more RIGHT HERE.

Extra Tidbit: The only official ROAD WARRIOR game was MAD MAX on the NES in 1990, although the character appeared unofficially in the Sega Genesis game OUTLANDER.

If the belated Mad Max 4 was as awful as Mad Max 3 was, then it's a blessing that it was never filmed.

I don't plan to play the game, but I think for a game voice you gotta have Mel. Even Marlon Brando's voice was used in the Godfather game.

And just so we're clear, I thought Babe was a pretty good movie.

Barlog: The Spielberg of Game Developers
and Miller, one of the best directors out there (if of course, you count the Mad Max franchise and The Witches of Eastwick) get together to do a Mad Max video game?! Best news I've heard all day. With Balrog behind this, it's gonna be hard for this game to suck.

I gotta wonder though if Mad Max: Fury Road falls through, if they'll try the Ghostbusters route (doing the video game and having that alone replace the movie, Ghostbusters 3).

I think it's sad that he still tries to make MM4 without Mel. Old Max would be so cool.

But I don't think Miller even regrets the case of MM3. Selling out to a big studio, PG-13, another director etc.
