During the Warner Bros. press line at Cinemacon we caught up with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD star Tom Hardy and talked with him about the upcoming summer flick (our top choice for the season). Tom talks about meeting with Mel Gibson after taking the role, making him a survival bracelet, what Mel had to say to the producers about them hiring Hardy, whether or not the film lives up to the awesome trailers we've seen so far, practical effects, the stunt work, the current status and challenges of shooting THE REVENANT. Very cool stuff and a really down to Earth guy. As if you need more of a reason to get excited to see MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, right?
