Mad Max Fury Road Interview

George Miller & Nicholas Hoult On the Darkness Of Mad Max... And, Erm, Babe: Pig In The City

In a summer blockbuster season crowded with comic book movies and action extravaganzas, one movie takes Hollywood's formula for big hits and added a heavy dose of dirt and adrenaline to yield eye-popping results. Naturally, we're talking about Mad Max: Fury Road, the long-gestating return to form from mastermind director George Miller.

In the video above, we sit down with Miller and Nicholas Hoult, who plays bloodthirsty Nux, on the trail of Tom Hardy's Max to talk about why we crave violence on film and why Fury Road opted not to embrace the safe PG-13 that so many action fans dread. And, naturally, why that's comparable to Miller's seminal work, Babe: Pig In The City.
