Mel Gibson's surprise visit to 'Mad Max' premiere
Los Angeles, May 8
Actor-filmmaker Mel Gibson
paid an unofficial visit to the “Mad Max: Fury Road†premiere in
Hollywood to excite the film’s cast and producers.
The
59-year-old, who played Max Rockatansky in the 1979 Australian action
film and two sequels, posed for photographs on the red carpet with new
“Mad Max†Tom Hardy and other cast members on Thursday, reports
variety.com.
All four films in the “Mad Max†series (including
the 1981 “Mad Max 2: Road Warrior†and “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomeâ€)
were directed by George Miller, who chatted with Gibson at the premiere.
“Mad Max: Fury Roadâ€, which will release on May 15, is poised for an opening weekend of over $40 million.
The $150 million-plus tentpole, co-starring Charlize Theron, will play at the Cannes International Film Festival next weekend.
