Tom Hardy Addresses On-Set Feud with Charlize Theron on MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
After Mad Max: Fury Road was released, Charlize Theron opened up quite a bit about the on-set rift with Tom Hardy. "From what I hear, he’s not like that on every movie—I hear he’s had good experiences," Theron told WSJ Magazine in April. "Maybe the movie is what it is because we struggled so much with each other, and those characters had to struggle so much with each other. If we were chum-chum, maybe the movie would have been 10 times worse."
In a April 2015 interview with Esquire, Theron said she and Hardy repaired their relationship by the end of the shoot. She even produced a hand written note that Hardy sent her. "You are an absolute nightmare, BUT you are also f--king awesome," he wrote to her. "I'll kind of miss you. Love, Tommy."
While promoting his new eight-part television series Taboo, Hardy was asked about the on-set feud and if he and Theron have buried the hatchet. "Yeah, I mean, there are these myths that are usually asininely circulated about things that go on on set that aren’t nearly as dramatic as they’re made out to be," the 39-year-old English actor told The Daily Beast. "There was no hatchet to bury, for me. I’ve always thought—and I still do think—that Charlize is one of the best actresses in the world and a mega-talent. I think she’s brilliant and I would love to work with her again. So there’s really no hatchet for me to bury at all in any way, shape or form."

I hope not. He's too short. Bond girls need legs for days.

George Miller Sues Warner Bros. Over MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Earnings
More than two years after Mad Max: Fury Road became a worldwide hit – going on to win six Academy Awards – director George Miller is suing Hollywood studio Warner Bros over unpaid earnings.
Their falling out has been revealed in a Supreme Court of NSW ruling that the dispute between production company Kennedy Miller Mitchell and Warner Bros should be arbitrated in Sydney rather than in California.
The directors of the production company are Miller, whose stellar directing career includes two Happy Feet movies and the Mad Max series, and his longtime producing partner Doug Mitchell.
It's a dispute that seems to show why Miller is yet to make two more long-planned Mad Max movies.
He famously overcame more than a decade of setbacks to make the fourth movie in the action series, including three major delays, three actors down to play Max - Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger then Tom Hardy - then having to switch the gruelling shoot from Australia to Namibia.
But Fury Road was released to near unanimous critical acclaim and took $US378 million ($492 million) at the worldwide box office before triumphing at the Oscars.
Justice David Hammerschlag said the agreement to make Fury Road included a condition that Kennedy Miller Mitchell would receive a $US7 million bonus if "the final net cost" of the movie was not more than $US157 million, after certain costs were excluded from calculations.
And that if Warner Bros intended to seek another co-financier, it would first offer Kennedy Miller Mitchell the chance to provide finance.
The production company started court proceedings against the studio over unpaid earnings in September.
"On [Warner Bros'] calculations, Mad Max went over budget," Justice Hammerschlag said. "If these calculations are right, [Kennedy Miller Mitchell] does not get a bonus.
"[But the production company] claims [Warner Bros] made a series of decisions which caused substantial changes and delays to Mad Max, which led to additional costs and expenses and that [the studio] wrongly took them into account in its over-budget calculation.
"If those costs are left out of account [Kennedy Miller Mitchell] says that Mad Max came in under budget."
The production company also claimed Warner Bros entered into a co-financing agreement with RatPac Entertainment, then run by James Packer and Brett Ratner, for 12.5 per cent of the movie's funding – breaching the agreement to give Kennedy Miller Mitchell first offer.
The production company also brought a claim against Warner Bros for "misleading and deceptive conduct" for not informing it that additional costs due to the studio's changes and delays would be included in budget calculations.
While Warner Bros argued that NSW was "a clearly inappropriate forum" to arbitrate the dispute, Justice Hammerschlag disagreed.
Miller and Mitchell told Fairfax Media they were disappointed that "after all the hard work and success of the film, the studio failed to honour its obligations" to them.
"Simply put, we are owed substantial earnings for diligent and painstaking work which spanned over 10 years in development of the script and preparation and three years in production of the movie," they said. "That hard work resulted in a picture which found wide acclaim globally ...
"We would much prefer to be making movies with Warner Bros than litigating with them but, after trying for over a year, we were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution and have now had to resort to a law suit to sort things out."
Last month Miller put the historic art deco Metro theatre in Potts Point, his headquarters for more than 30 years, on the market with expectations of selling for $20 million.
Warner Bros responded with a short statement saying: "We disagree and will vigorously defend against these claims."

I remember my date falling asleep in the theater about 45 minutes in, and me spending the rest of the movie being jealous of her.

Why? Was she sitting with someone else? Hard to enjoy a movie and stalk at the same time.

Max's character was fleshed out completely in Mad Max. Mad Max 2 progressed the character again. Not sure why you'd compare him to Clint's "Man with no name."

Not only that, they're shorting these guys a measly 7M and holding up the production of sequels that would probably make them easily 10x that profit.

The Max of Fury Road though to me was more a soft reboot of the character rather than an obvious continuation of the earlier one.
