Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are in negotiations to star in Fury Road, the fourth installment in the Mad Max series. Writer-director George Miller has been working on the project for over a decade, and although Mel Gibson was attached at one point to return to the lead role that he played in the first three films of the series, Hardy will instead be tackling the role of Max, with Theron playing the female lead.

Little is known plot-wise about the film as Miller aims to keep a lid on what is set to be a highly anticipated event. Fans of the series have been waiting since 1985 for the next film in the series. All that is known at this point is that the film takes place a short while after the end of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Hardy recently gave an impressive performance in the title role of Bronson, and will next be seen in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller Inception. The actor's mainstream career took off after his role as Handsome Bob in Guy Ritchie's RockNRolla.

Miller will produce Fury Road, to be distributed by Warner Bros, along with Doug Mitchell. Filming is set to begin next summer in Australia and in the meantime Miller is hard at work updating designs for the vehicles of the film. The straight desert roads and the cars covering them have played an important part in the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max.
