HEY BASTARDS.

Charlize Theron is about Queen Geek until further notice. Not only is PROMETHEUS dropping in 7 days, but in a matter of weeks George Miller will finally start shooting MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Theron dropped some verbiage on the project to ScreenRant. Dig it:

“I leave in like two and a half weeks and we start shooting I think around mid-July in Namibia,” says the actress. “I’m f**king dying, too, it’s been three years. It’s time to skin this cat already, so yeah, I’m very excited about it.”

“I feel like the original Mad Max created such a vivid world,” she continues, “that to go back and re-imagine it and kind of replay in that sandbox sounds like fun to me. George has really created a female character that I’ve never read anything like. I mean, I’m scared shitless!”

“Originally when they were like, ‘Oh, Mad Max.’ I was like, ‘Uh, I’m not going to play the fucking girl for Mad Max.’ Then I read it and I was like, ‘Oh, Mad Max. I feel sorry for you!’ That rarely happens. It’s two great characters. It’s not the original Mad Max. It’s the revamped Mad Max. It’s Tom Hardy, who’s incredible. So, the whole thing is just very, very exciting.”

This good shit won’t be punching eyeballs until 2013, but something tells me it’s going to be worth the wait.

SEE YOU ON FORTY DEUCE,

G
