Making the news rounds yesterday from an interview in the Financial Review, George Miller, the director behind the Mad Max films, a stalled CG Justice League movie, and most recently, Happy Feet is partnering with Kennedy Miller Mitchell Interactive, the new home for former Team Bondi and Krome Studios developers to work on Miller's long-in-development Mad Max 4: Fury Road game.
The fairly comprehensive piece looks at Miller's creative output over the last few years and the struggles with getting not only foreign-backed films but games developed in Australia as the fluctuating value of that nation's currency has made outside investment a challenge and was certainly at least indirectly responsible for the collapse of both Krome and Team Bondi as operating entities. Fury Road was originally set to be made at a Swedish developer, but Miller was impressed with Team Bondi's work and tapped members of that team to work on the video game follow-up to "Mad" Max Rockatansky's violent desert adventures in the post-apocalyptic Outback. The film which it's supposed to be accompanying was to start filming last year with Bronson and The Dark Knight Rises star Thomas Hardy in the lead, but unseasonal rains have made the arid wastes of the Outback unexpectedly muddy and green.
In addition to working on Mad Max, the team will also be working on Team Bondi lead Brendan McNamara's next title, The Whore of the Orient, but as with Mad Max, there's no projected date of release.
