What's Wasteland? This is all news to me. I have not heard anything like that."

Following a lengthy absence, both "Mad" Max ( Tom Hardy ) and his director, George Miller, roared back onto cinema’s global radar with the adrenalized. Ever since the movie dominated the early frame of the summer box office, rumors have circulated of continuing the story, either with a traditionalsequel, or even a spinoff film with the incredibly popular character, Furiosa. Only, no one bothered to tell Charlize Theron this.The Oscar-winning actor, who revealed a completely new and badass side to her on-screen capabilities in, was busy promoting the twisted thrillerwhen USA Today asked her about the developments on(a rumored title for the fifth chapter of Max). Instead of confirming plans, Theron appeared clueless, making fans ofmore than a little concerned. She said:Now, does this confirm that a follow up to this summer’sisn’t happening? Absolutely not, but it does probably prompt fans to pump their brakes and settle in for a possible wait. Hopefully not a 30 year break, like the one Miller took betweenand his most recentmovie. This time around, however, the director – who favors practical effects over the wizardry of CGI – is playing with completely different tools… Charlize Theron being one of them.There are many that argue thatis as much Furiosa’s movie as it is Max’s, and we have been reporting stories about Miller’s longterm plans for more movies with that character, specifically. However, these new comments by Charlize Theron at least suggest that those plans are nowhere near being close to fruition. If Miller and his crew were developing a spinoff, you know that they would be keeping Theron in the loop on their plans and their progress. Her lack of knowledge or even awareness is a dash of cold water on what was some sizzlingsequel talk.
