I would disagree with you re: Mel will never be Mad Max again…A Mad Max 4 has been “in the works” for a while, and Gibson has the perfect vehicle in the Max character to express spiritual (and not even necessarily Christian) suffering and redemption. Max’s character was driven “mad” by the brutal murder of his family, and he now roams a post-apocalyptic wasteland living an amoral life of survival. This could be a perfect opportunity to bring a moral conclusion to this tale…along with healthy doses of high performance V-8s.
