All of Your Favorite ’80s Movies Are Here in One Poster

“Hey, remember the ’80s?” It was a great time for geek fandom, especially at the movies. Considering all of the incredible films that were made in that decade, it would be hard to name them all—so Scott Park drew them all instead. Park is an artist we’ve featured on io9 many, many, times, and with…

A Dumb Lawsuit May Prevent Mad Max Sequels, and We’re Furiosa as Hell About It

Mad Max: Fury Road grossed almost $400 million worldwide, received 10 Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) and won six, the most of any film that year. So where the hell are our sequels? We know writer-director George Miller has ideas, and probably even scripts, for two more movies set in his post-apocalyptic world. But three…

How Did James Franco Convince So Many Celebrities to Be in His Terrible-Looking New Scifi Movie? [UPDATE]

You’d be forgiven for having forgotten Future World, Lionsgate’s upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller written, starring, and co-directed by James Franco that was first announced almost two years ago to little fanfare.

Self-Described Mad Max Protégé Arrested for Cruising on ATV with Sawed-Off Shotgun

Climate change might be bringing us closer to the guns-blazing desert apocalypse of Mad Max, but we’re not quite there yet. Unfortunately, it looks like one guy in California didn’t get the memo. Earlier this week, the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department arrested a 39-year-old man for deep cosplaying as a character from Mad Max… and…

The Vehicles of Mad Max: Fury Road, With the Eyes of Pixar’s Cars 

Witness them. Oh god, witness them. This bit of genius—or total nightmare—comes from British comedian Paul Savage, and now I can’t stop thinking about a future where Cars 17: Lightning McQueen Goes Beyond the Thunderdome is set in a Mad Max-ian post-apocalypse occupied solely by violent car-beings locked in endless battles for their lifeblood, guzzoline:…

Want to See More of the Chinese Mad Max Ripoff Mad Shelia? Of Course You Do!

Last month, a crazy trailer called Mad Shelia took the Internet by storm. It’s a Chinese film that’s so blatantly a ripoff of Mad Max: Fury Road, it was kind of charming. Unfortunately, the trailer was only a minute—but now three more minutes have come online. In classic Mad Shelia fashion, though, that extra footage…

Mad Shelia Is the Chinese Mad Max Ripoff of Your Dreams

We still don’t know when, or if, we’re going to get another chance to see Imperator Furiosa on the big screen. But, in the meantime, at least there’s Mad Shelia. Not Mad Max. Mad Shelia. That’s the title, and presumably main character, of a pretty obvious Mad Max ripoff film out of China. We don’t…

And that’s not all: the company is releasing the whole franchise in one box set. The black and white version of Fury Road is something we’ve…

The Post-Apocalypse Is One Big Dance-Off in This Mad Max-Inspired Music Video

I hadn’t heard of musician Lindsey Stirling before her new video for “The Arena,” but she appears to have cornered the market on violin-infused electronic music. She also dances better while wielding a violin than most people can with nothing in their hands. And she seems to be a Mad Max series fan. Or maybe…

That Black-and-White Version of Mad Max: Fury Road Is Finally Getting Released (UPDATED)

Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller probably didn’t realize the avalanche of discussion he set off when he first mentioned a black-and-white version of his award-winning film.

This Music Video Looks Like Someone Dropped a Weirdness Bomb Into Mad Max

This new music video from the electro-rocker band Saverne is a great blend of Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic stuff with psychedelic strangeness. It reminds me a bit of The Gone Away World by Nick Harkaway. From what I can tell, the storyline of the “Hendrix” video is as follows: There’s some kind of bomb that was…

The saga of the black-and-white version of Mad Max: Fury Road continues. First, there was talk of the cut getting a theatrical release. Now, in an interview with the L.A. Times, George Miller says “[It’ll end up] on another version with commentary and other features.” Either way, it seems like it’s happening.
