'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer Places Tom Hardy And Charlize Theron In The Beserk

What's Hot

Watch The First 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Trailer

Ryan Kristobak, HuffPost Associate Entertainment Editor

The trailer for "Mad Max: Fury Road" had all of Comic-Con buzzing, and now the three-minute clip has the Internet buzzing. It does not disappoint the hype.

Switching Tom Hardy in place of Mel Gibson, director George Miller brings a "new interpretation" to his own franchise reboot. "Fury Road" picks up after the initial series opener, and is described by Miller as "almost a continuous chase."

"Of course it's based on the same character that they'll play, the lone warrior in the wasteland disengaged from the rest of the world," Miller said in a press conference. "But naturally Tom brings his Tom Hardy-ness to it, and the story is different to some degree. The character is different to some degree."

Charlize Theron stars with Hardy in the film, along with Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Nathan Jones, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Watch the terrifying trailer above. The movie is scheduled to release on May 15, 2015.

Before You Go

"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" (Jan. 3)

Fun fact: this is not "Paranormal Activity 5." That film comes out in October.

"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" (Jan. 17)

Paramount moved this Jack Ryan reboot from Christmas Day to Jan. 17, but that gambit should pay off: "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," starring Paramount golden boy Chris Pine (the studio's "Star Trek" films), looks like the kind of action film that reaches sleeper blockbuster status simply because it doesn't have much competition.

"Ride Along" (Jan. 17)

"A little man Smurf." That's how Ice Cube describes Kevin Hart in the "Ride Along" trailer, so lol see you at the theater.

"G.B.F." (Jan. 17)

Darren Stein's indie gem, which debuted at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, combines elements of Stein's own "Jawbreaker" with "Mean Girls," "Heathers" and "Clueless." It's a must see.

"That Awkward Moment" (Jan. 31)

Hollywood's next great leading men (Miles Teller, Zac Efron and Michael B. Jordan) star in this R-rated comedy about love and relationships among Millennials. Fingers crossed that this one is as funny as the R-rated trailer.

"The LEGO Movie" (Feb. 7)

You might not think a movie about LEGOs would be awesome, but "The LEGO Movie" trailer states otherwise. Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("21 Jump Street") direct the film, which features voice work from Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Banks, Cobie Smulders and Will Arnett among others.

"The Monuments Men" (Feb. 7)

George Clooney's erstwhile Oscar contender was moved to 2014 to avoid the crunch of year-end 2013 releases. (It still looks great despite the date change.) Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett all co-star.

"RoboCop" (Feb. 14)

Even if the idea of a "RoboCop" remake sounds lame, consider this: The movie features Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and Jay Baruchel in supporting roles.

"About Last Night" (Feb.14)

A remake of the 1986 dramedy with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, this version of "About Last Night" stars Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Joy Bryant and Michael Ealy.

"Vampire Academy" (Feb. 14)

"Mean Girls" director Mark Waters returns with "Vampire Academy," an adaptation of Richelle Mead's YA series that was written for the screen by Daniel Waters ("Heathers").

"Non-Stop" (Feb. 28)

Yes to this one.

"Welcome To Yesterday" (Feb. 28)

"What if we made a found footage movie about time traveling high school kids?" "Sure."

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" (March 7)

Wes Anderson's new film includes the usual coterie of Anderson regulars (Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Harvey Keitel, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson) and newcomers like Saoirse Ronan and Ralph Fiennes. "What happened, my dear Zero, is I beat the living shit out of a sniveling little runt called Pinky Bandinski." Where do we check in?

"300: Rise of an Empire" (March 7)

This. Is. Sparta. Again.

"Veronica Mars" (March 14)

Veronica Mars: Love Triangle from Veronica Mars on Vimeo.

Marshmallows unite.

"Bad Words" (March 14)

Jason Bateman's directorial debut, about an adult who exploits a loop hole to compete in spelling bee competitions with children, is an R-rated comedy in the vein of "Bad Santa." (Be warned, the trailer is filthy.) "Bad Words" premiered at 2013's Toronto International Film Festival in September.

"Grace of Monaco" (March 14)

Like "The Monuments Men," "Grace of Monaco" was once considered a 2013 Oscar contender until a late-hour date change. "They want a commercial film, that is to say at the grass roots, removing everything above [...] removing all that is cinema, everything that makes life," director Olivier Dahan said after the film, which The Weinstein Company is set to release in North America, was bumped. "Here, in this case, they made a trailer that did not fit the movie, and then they try to make the film look like the trailer, this is absurd." Watch that trailer here.

"Need for Speed" (March 14)

The answer to the question: What if Aaron Paul starred in a "Fast and Furious" movie?

"Divergent" (March 21)

The next "Hunger Games"? Veronica Roth's dystopian YA series stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James, and brings with it expectations that threaten to overflow the Cornucopia. (Mixed franchises, but you get the drift.)

The Muppets are back, and this time they brought Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais.

"Stretch" (March 21)

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (April 4)

"Dom Hemingway" (April 4)

Jude Law plays the title character in this raucous, violent and foul-mouthed British comedy about a low-life criminal fresh out of prison. HuffPost Entertainment saw a very early screening of this one and can report that Law has never been better.

"Under The Skin"

In this creepy, David Lynch-ian thriller, Scarlett Johansson plays an alien. "Under the Skin" is weird, and judging from the early festival reviews, brilliant.
