New Details for Mad Max Collector's Edition Blu-ray Revealed

Posted February 3, 2015 06:07 PM by Webmaster

Scream Factory, the horror-thriller offshoot of independent film distributor Shout Factory, has revealed today the newly commissioned cover art* for the upcoming Collector's Edition Blu-ray of George Miller's cult action film Mad Max (1979). The release will be available for purchase in the United States and Canada on May 5.

While the complete list of supplemental features is yet to be revealed, Scream Factory has confirmed that the upcoming Blu-ray release will include a brand new interview with Mel Gibson.

Official synopsis: Setting Mel Gibson on a sure path to superstardom, this highly acclaimed "crazy collide-o-scope" (Newsweek) of highway mayhem "cinematically defined the postapocalyptic landscape" (TV Guide). Featuring eye-popping stunts that are "electrifying and very convincing" (Variety) and "an authentically nihilistic spirit" (The Village Voice), this unforgettable actioner from director George Miller (The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Mad Max: Fury Road) is "pure cinematic poetry" (Time).

In the ravaged near-future, a savage motorcycle gang rules the road. Terrorizing innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of a police force hell-bent on stopping them. But they underestimate one officer: Max (Gibson). And when the bikers brutalize Max's best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him with only one thing left in the world to live for – revenge! Also starring Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Steve Bisley (The Great Gatsby, Red Hill), this rugged racecar of a film runs on "comic book volatility… exhilarating rowdiness and visual intensity" (The New York Times)!
