ATJ has some monster shoes to fill. I'm skeptical of the direction Miller's going here but have been yearning for the follow-up since Fury Road came out, so I'm happy that a legit plan is forming.

Having a hard time getting into 'The Haunting of Bly Manor'. Just me or anyone else? 3 episodes in and I'm waiting to care about the characters and story.

I hope he is still a lumberjack.

I really don't feel that Fury Road needed a spin-off movie. It's not like Theron couldn't play a younger version of herself, so that she didn't sign on to reprise the role has me a bit skeptical.

She wanted to, wasn't given the option.

Lame. Hollywood age-ism at it's finest I guess.

Age-ism is very real, but there's more to it than that.

As good as Theron was, the star of Fury Road was Miller, and Anya Taylor-Joy is good enough I think that it at least won't be an issue.

In this case specifically or generally speaking? I know George thinks de-aging technology is too novel atm.

Just meant generally. No inside scoop or anything, but I promise you one actor was a lot cheaper than the other.

If you haven’t already read it, this article about the Fury Road production is fascinating. While it ended up a classic, the shoot was a nightmare and Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy did not get along. Not saying that played into the decision to go prequel, but who knows.
