It’s official! Charlize Theron and British actor Tom Hardy are both in negotiations to star in Mad Max 4 aka Fury Road. Just last week we reported on speculation that the two actors were taking on the leads in the long awaited sequel and according to THR, it’s been confirmed.
Could this be a casting development for the upcoming Mad Max sequel/reboot? There have been rumors floating around regarding the fourth installment of the action franchise that made Mel Gibson a star for years. Director George Miller has been more than vocal about his desire to produce another film. Now we’re hearing rumors via EOnline that Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy may have been cast as the leads in the new film.
It’s safe to say that Christopher Nolan basically has his choice of any actors he wants. That being said, he’s really come up with an interesting collection of actors for his upcoming film Inception. Alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine, it has just been announced that Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy will now be joining the bunch.
If there’s was one person in Hollywood you could choose to train you in a technique of martial arts who would it be? I’d go for Jet Li, Jackie Chan, or Jason Statham, but director Gavin O’Connor prefers his mentors more on the weathered side. According to FirstShowing, O’Connor has cast Nick Nolte as the lead in his MMA centered film, Warrior. Nolte will play “an ex-Vietnam vet boxer-turned-steel mill worker whose family was torn apart by his alcoholism.” Sounds like a role he was born to play.
