November 2 is going to be a lovely day for Mad Max fans, as George Miller's post-apocalyptic quadrilogy will be released in 4K resolution for the first time ever.
Warner Brothers Home Entertainment has announced that a 4K Ultra and Blu-Ray collection titled The Mad Max Anthology will be hitting shelves in time for Christmas, and include 1979's Mad Max, 1981's Mad Max: The Road Warrior, 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and 2015’s Mad Max Fury Road. The original film and recent Fury Road are already available on 4K, but this will mark the first time the middle two instalments will be released in that format.
Mel Gibson played the titular "Mad" Max Rockatansky in the first three movies, with Tom Hardy taking over as the iconic antihero in Fury Road. The Dark Knight Rises actor is expected to reprise the role at some point, but our next trip to the wasteland will focus on Furiosa, with Anya Taylor‑Joy playing a younger version of Charlize Theron's one-armed warrior. Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II will co-star, and the movie is currently set for a May 24, 2024 release.
