Mad Max No Mel

After prepping for the role of Mad Max Goldstein, Gibson mysteriously pulls out.

Despite Mel Gibson saying that he's off MAD MAX 4, the film's director insists that the film is still going ahead - eventually, and with another actor. George Miller spoke to Moviehole.net.

"It needs a lean and hungry actor and he's [Mel]not into acting so much anymore and I think he just loves producing, writing and directing. But I think if fates allow there will be another Mad Max though it is certainly two films away for me, but the time's gone when Mel can run around the wasteland anymore."

He also stated that Mel had problems with the films title Mad Max Goldstein.
