#1: Mad Max 4 is Still Coming... As a Cartoon?

Word is that Max creator, George Miller, is developing a 3-D anime Mad Max feature that will be loosely based on the story idea already developed for the Mad Max: Fury Road project that fell apart a few years back. Mel Gibson will not reprise his role as the titular post-apocalyptic gunslinger, though Miller says that the cartoon is phase one of a Mad Max renaissance that will be followed by a video game.

#2: Re-Animator to be Re-animated!

In case that title confused you, Dr. Herbert West will indeed be back in a remake of Stuart Gordon's original cult classic, except this time it might be in 3-D. (Via: STYD)

#3: Keira Knightly Gets Cloned By Alex Garland!

No, you won't be seeing double, the actress has signed on to a scifi film concerned with cloning Called "Never Let Me Go." It's about "a trio who grew up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world until they discover they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation." Best part is, the screenplay was adpated by Alex Garland of 28 Days Later fame. Nice one. (Via: Variety)

#4: Battle Royale Meets Running Man!? Bring on Hunger Games!

We've just learned that Suzanne Collins' futuristic young adult novel, "Hunger Games," is being adapted for the big screen by Nina Jacobson. The book, which has been praised by Stephen King, tells "the story of an America where the subjugated districts must pay tribute in the form of a boy and a girl who are forced to participate in a televised battle to the death." (Via: BD)

#5: Nazis Take over the World in Alternate History film, Resistance

Big Rich Films has optioned Owen Sheers' alternate-universe World War II novel Resistance for the big screen. Amit Gupta will write and direct the movie, which is set in an alternate 1944 in which Russia has fallen to Nazi Germany and the D-Day landings have failed. Eden Lake producer, Richard Holmes, is producing the project. (Via: Scifiwire)

#6: Matt Damon at the heart of cerebral PKD scifi/love story

Bourne Ultimatum writer George Nolfi has adapted Philip K Dick's "The Adjustment Bureau" for the screen and, surprise surprise, it's actually going to be made with Matt Damon in the lead. It's based on the PKD short story "Adjustment Team" which goes like this: "Ed Fletcher, a real estates salesman, finds out that our world is really, in effect, one big soundstage controlled by strange and mysterious guardians. The plot is very similar to the 1998 science fiction film Dark City and other works suggesting the idea of a manufactured reality." (Via: scificool)

WTF, is going on. The hard core mad max fans dont want a cartoon.
How is a cartoon Mad Max the same as the real thing ? You will not get the same thrills as a real Mad Max movie. This Mad Max Project has been in development hell for donkeys years. He promised that he will do Mad Max after happy feet is complete, but the execs said, stuff your Mad Max, we want you to do Justice League.
Justice League is still development hell, whatever.

If the studio execs don't want him to do Mad Max then he shouldn't be waiting his time with a cartoon or video game.

Where can i find the illustrated MM2 poster shown above? Or at least a larger version of it?

Yeah, that poster is too much. Looks like the artist who did Hunter S. Thompson's illustrations.

Its definitely Ralph Steadman-ish, but a little bit too "clean" for his art. Still, i would love to find a copy of this!
