New Mad Max Film
IceDiver writes "According to Google News Mel Gibson has signed up for a new Mad Max film "Fury Road". His salary? A whopping $25,000,000.00 Apparently the script has been in the works for 3 years and is highly polished. As a big fan of all 3 Mad Max films, I am looking forward to this one!

Lazy man's google new link.
I was tempted to agree with you, but actually dude is younger than you might think. He's only 46. Not like, say, Harrison Ford who is 60.
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
First of all, the article said it was a $104 million project.
Secondly, they said the first three movies grossed 69 million in the US. That doesn't count internation box office totals nor all the other sources of income consistant with films that achieve cult status.
Mad Max Movies FAQ is a great link for all thing's Mad Max
Um, Spongebob is not gay. He has a rather attractive squiril girlfriend. (how do you spell the name of that rodent???)
While the gay-ultra-left may push for Good 'ole Spongebob to be gay, he ain't!
Plus, who cares? The Pirate is the real star of the show!
Ah, but are those numbers inflated? Movies cost more now than they did then.
The original Mad Max was made on a very low budget. It was the highest profit to cost ratio movie until Blair Witch. So cheap that the only actor to wear real leather was Mel Gibson - the other characters had to do with fake leather.
(All from the pop-up-video type notes on the DVD.)
if you will recall, max's interceptor was blown to pieces in the road warrior after someone tried to get his gasoline without defusing the booby trap
Live EVERY week... Like it's Shark Week
If you were wondering, that car was a Jensen Interceptor..
the problem with NOS is that its not movie authentic.
:)
You may remember that humongous's turbine powered truck seemed to have a NOS bottle on it that gave it the power to overtake mad max and then the quasi-gay biker used a vertical truck exhaust pipe to bash in the windshield on the interceptor, forcing max off the road and ultimately causing the car to be destroyed and his dog to be shot.
putting NOS on a car would be like sleeping with the enemy. I don't care if it would go faster, max's car didn't have it
im not sure if this should get
+1 Funny (why do you know that shit, loser)
or
-1 Get A Life (why do you know that shit, loser)
My opinions are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
Which ratio statistic are you questioning? The Blair Witch Project got over a 2300:1 profit-to-cost ratio.. Two orders of magnitude larger than the 37:1 from the butterfly project you mentioned, and one order of magnitude larger than Mad Max's 250:1.
You tell me how "whilst" differs from "while," and I'll stop calling you a pretentious jackass.
The Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis made a hell of a lot of money on that film, and it was an amazing piece of work. I think that's from having a percentage of the gross, though.
I really don't know whether this will be any good or not, but I'm certainly willing to give it a chance. We'll see...
