    When I heard George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road was going into production last year, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.

    Remember Lincoln? The movie Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct with Liam Neeson set to star but films such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn and War Horse always seemed to get in the way?
