Yesterday a scanned, autographed image of Tom Hardy popped up online, which had many people asking whether this was the first pic from Mad Max. Warner Bros. has now confirmed that it is indeed from the movie, and is something Hardy signed for the cast and crew.
Hardy is taking over the role of Mad Max Rockatansky from Mel Gibson. The long-delayed movie, Mad Max: Fury Road, has been shooting in South Africa and should be arriving in cinemas sometime in 2013. There’s been no info on the exact plot of the film, which is believed to be a continuation rather than complete reboot of the character.
Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Charlize Theron, Riley Keough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also star, with original Mad Max director George Miller at the helm.
