Another Eminem and Rihanna project? We’re here for it.
The respective Grammy winners were almost cast in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” according to New York Times writer Kyle Buchanan’s book, “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,'” now excerpted in Vulture.
Director George Miller and casting director Ronna Kress auditioned a slew of rising Hollywood talent for the 2015 prequel film.
“The whole process of casting Max took close to a year,” Kress said in the excerpt. “We were talking about every actor in the world, essentially, and having very in-depth conversations about the benefits of someone famous or someone unknown in the role of Mad Max.”
Michael Fassbender, Joel Kinnaman, Eric Bana, Jeremy Renner, and Armie Hammer were all shortlisted for the titular role of Max, which Mel Gibson originally portrayed in “Mad Max” trilogy starting in 1979.
