Assassin’s Creed film director Justin Kurzel has an idea for a Mad Max prequel that explores a story he’s always been curious about.
Speaking with Collider, he shared his idea for a film that explores the wastelands before the events of the first Mad Max film, released in 1979.
Kurzel said: “I’ll tell you something, maybe because he was a big influence, but I’ve always been curious about what happened before the first Mad Max: what was that world with Nightrider, pre-Mad Max?
“I’ve always been very curious about this and very tempted to talk to George [Miller] about the possibility of a pre-Mad Max 1 world and what that is. It was a film that always intrigued me because it was a very influential film in my time…
“It’s a fantastic franchise, but I’ve always been curious to see those moments before the first one because it’s so richly structured. And that time in Australia was also beautiful.”
You know, I’d love to watch a prequel movie like the one that takes place before the events of the first Mad Max movie. That could be interesting!
The first film is a gritty, dystopian action thriller set in near-future Australia, where social collapse has led to lawlessness and chaos. The story follows Max Rockatansky, a skilled and stoic police officer in the Main Force Patrol, as he battles violent motorcycle gangs who terrorize the streets.
After a gang led by the sadistic Toecutter brutally murders Max’s wife and young son, Max embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance, unleashing his fury and transforming into a hardened antihero.
When it comes to the future of franchising George Miller he has plans for another film. But, after Furiosa disappointed at the box office, who knows if we will ever be able to see another project set in maximum maximum the universe again.
If the franchise continued, would you be interested in a prequel film like the one Kurzel wants to make? Mad Max saga.
