Just read a bit more about it. This is what I read so far:
Tom Hardy will play Max whose job it is to protect five women ("Five Wives"). Two of these wives will be played by Riley Keough (granddaughter of Elvis Presley, was in "The Runaways") and Zoe Kravitz (daughter of Lenny Kravitz, was in "The Brave One" and "Twelve"). Also, Charlize Theron is in there, too and she'll be missing a part of her left arm (well... her character. Not the actress). These women are said to be the mothers of the children Max brought to Sydney in Beyond Thunderdome, so it seems to be a sequel.

I'm really looking forward to another Mad Max movie!

I read recently that it was put on hold- possibly for a few years, because there have been above average rainfalls in Australia resulting in much a greener landscape. I hope it does eventually come out though!
A little disappointing that two of the actresses are just related to famous people though. Maybe they are good actresses, I don't know- but it sort of seems unlikely.

Yeah, I read filming has been delayed until February 2012. So it might not even be released until 2013.

Two of the wives are played by the same woman?

I'm going to guess they are twins and they couldn't be bothered to find some actual twins :/
I'm confused about them being the mothers of the kids from Beyond the Thunderdome though- seems a bit unlikely they would still be alive.

I can't wait for this. I read somewhere that this was meant to be an animated film? Please tell me that isn't still happening.

I truly hate to say it, but I don't think I could watch a Mad Max movie without Mel racist slur slinging Gibson.

It will definitely be strange not to see Mel, but I'll still watch it of course. The new Star Trek worked just fine for me with the all new cast for old characters.
Just hope it doesn't turn out like the travesty that is the newer set of Star Wars movies.

For me the 'Max' films are much like the God Father series. 1 & 2 are absolute classics for different reasons but the 3rd ? Watchable yes but not really worthy of being discussed as part of the whole.
If this 4th one happens then I will watch but I dont hold out much hope.

I saw a quote in a few articles saying they're going to have 130 cars and 298 stunts in the movie. So it sounds like it's going to be old school high-speed road chases, and real cars crashing and flying through the air, not computer generated crap.

Two of the wives are played by the same woman? Who has two identities and two separate faces/appearances? Man, plastic surgery is crazy these days.

Just read that the film is locked in. Apparently the weather won't stop this from being made. That's good news, right?
