Next time you watch this scene know that Virginia Hey was aiming a real loaded weapon directly at Mel's head. It was a 40lb pull-back compound bow with a real arrow that could've killed him the man. They gave her a rubber string in some shots only because she was tired of pulling it back.

Brendan McCarthy's very first piece of Fury Road concept art was made 29 years ago. A proto-War Boy with tattooed cancer lumps. Brendan's designs were very rich and busy; they had to be simplified for the screen.

'Time counts and keeps counting'. It's been 10 years since Mad Max Fury Road was released!

New video will be all about Dr. Dementus. We really don't know much about him. That's about to change.
Everything from his untold backstory, through his evolution, discarded ideas, vehicles, costumes, allegories. And yes, even where he travelled in the Wasteland...

George Miller on the set of Mad Max 1 (1979). Setting up the shot of Nightrider's car crash. He was 32 years old at that time.

I believe this is one of the earliest if not the earliest depiction of Dementus. Made for Furiosa Anime by Mahiro Maeda around 2009. That was back when he had a giant scar on his head stapled together with metal stitches. That idea later moved to Mr Norton's head.

One of early Furiosa War Rig designs by Shane Baxley. This one's based on Kenworth 953 and it's absolutely filthy.

One of the things about Fury Road is that its setting is so barren that it could be mistaken for a different planet. But at an early design stage they planned on showing us the remains of the old world. Almost ancient-like structures that once were a city. I really wish they'd kept it in.

Unfortunately no Oscar nominations for Furiosa.

The design process in this franchise is fascinating. More often than not it's an extrapolation from an established set of rules. In this case - Dementus' monster truck started out as a simple pickup that evolved off screen. The final design ended up looking different but followed the same rules.

See this guy?
A real asshole, according to Terry Gibson (the guy in a trench coat). The day before filming he was threatening to put out a cigarette on Terry's eye. Terry let it go, but he learned his character was going to rough him up. So he did it - for real with a few kicks to the gut.

Sad news from Hollywood.
Vernon Wells who played Wez in Mad Max 2 had just lost his house and everything he had in Los Angeles wildfires. Despite this loss, he said it would not break his spirit. We're hoping he recovers quickly and to everyone in the area: please stay safe.

Heads up! Crowdfunding event for @melvinzed.bsky.social Mad Max 2 book starts on January 24th. One of the goals is to fund the English translation so the whole world can enjoy this work art, and you best believe it will be well worth it. More info coming soon!

I've been posting a lot about Furiosa lately, so it's time to bring it back to the very origins of Mad Max. This here is a true piece of history. An artifact, a promotional comic book drawn by George Miller himself to sell potential investors on the idea of a movie he was about to make - Mad Max.

Dane Hallett dropping Furiosa concept art like we'll never going to get an official art book. Which I don't think we will, so kudos to him! Here are some of his ideas on the War Rig. BTW don't you think it should've had a unique name? It's strange that it doesn't.
