'Mad Max: Fury Road' movie update: Film will use less CGI
"Mad Max: Fury Road" director George Miller assured waiting fans that the movie will use less computer-generated imagery (CGI) and 80 percent of the film will be natural with executed stunts.
He worked on making "not just a physical experience, but an intense emotional one" for the film, he said. Computer-generated imagery is used in many films to enhance the scenes. Apparently, Miller is not a fan of technology. Less CGI would also mean that viewers will see more action scenes well done by the actors.
Miller was the director of the original version of the film shown in 1979. Thus, it can be assumed that the new version will stay close to the original, and fans are assured that the film is in great hands.
Some exciting new stills and posters of the movie were released. An image shows a pack of black vehicles on a dirt road leaving a cloud of dust. "Mad Max: Fury Road" stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. The movie's protagonist, Hardy, is seen with a muzzle on, while Theron is sporting a huge vehicle in another picture.
Hardy spilled that the seven-month shoot in a hot desert was both taxing and rewarding. "It was mental in a brilliant way. You have no concrete, no coffee shops. We were in the middle of a sandpit," he told to Entertainment Weekly.
The report also revealed that the shoot was difficult with the heat and dust. This makes doing action sequences under these circumstances tough. "Nothing about this movie was a walk in the park. Vanity went out the window," Charlize Theron said.
The film shoot took 116 days and will feature very little dialogue and digital effects. "Mad Max: Fury Road" will hit the theaters on May 15, 2015.
