Hollywoodnews.com: George Miller is returning to his “Mad Max” franchise for a sequel/reboot, which gives us (and MGM) reason to return to the spectacular, original Mel Gibson vehicle.

The studio announced plans to release the film on Blu-ray on Oct. 5. Specifications for the sure-to-be home video classic are below:

MAD MAX Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack

DISC ONE (Blu-ray):
• Filmmaker Commentary by Jon Dowding, David Eggby, Chris Murray & Tim Ridge
• Documentary: “Mad Max: The Film Phenomenon”
• New-To-The-U.S. Original Australian Language Track

DISC TWO (DVD):

Meanwhile, as Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Teresa Palmer and Zoe Kravitz continue to work on “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which is set for a 2012 release, Cinematical reports – via Transmoto Motor Bike Magazine — that Miller plans to use “130 cars and bikes and 298 stunts” in the over-the-top thriller.

How is that even possible? Is the movie 5 hours long? I guess we’ll find out in 2012.

HollywoodNews.com: Popular burgeoning action star Sam Worthington won’t be trying to win over Reese Witherspoon’s heart in McG’s high octane romantic comedy “This Means War.”

Rather Tom Hardy from “Inception” fame will step in to duke it out with Chris Pine. Film centers around two spies who wage a special ops battle for Witherspoon’s character.

Collider was following the news.

Hardy’s star is on the rise – he’s set to portray Mad Max Rockatansky opposite Charlize Theron in George Miller’s “Max Max: Fury Road.” He’s also on board for the crime drama “The Sweeney.”

Hardy hails from London, England and cut his teeth in the HBO 2001 war mini-series “Band of Brothers.”

HollywoodNews.com: Production on “Mad Max: Fury Road” has been halted until next year.

The film was slotted to be the fourth in the franchise starring Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult. Billed as a reboot of the 1979 “Mad Max,” “Fury Road” does not star Mel Gibson. Actor paved his acting career by playing the futuristic cop.

Produced by Warner Bros. and directed by the original “Mad Max” director George Miller, “Fury Road” was expected to start lensing in November in Australia.

Production is expected to begin in February and will also include a back-to-back sequel “Mad Max: Furiosa.”

OK! reports that the film was delayed due to casting and screenwriting problems.

Perhaps the production is trying to hook Gibson back?
