After almost 30 years since the last sequel in the movie franchise was released on theatres, Warner Bros. revives it through the release of 'Mad Max: Fury Road' starring A-list actress Charlize Theron and actor Tom Hardy.

With the announcement of the movie to the public, they have also unveiled a new promotional poster which shows 'Mad' Max standing in the middle of the desert with his V8 Interceptor parked behind him as he gazes into the distance.

Along with that, they've also released high-resolution teaser photos for the much anticipated film, showing that of the characters that would be played by Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy and Nicholas Hoult.

The movie revolves around a futuristic post-apocalyptic era where 'Mad' Max Rockantansky is the hero. Another important character in the plot is the strong-willed woman Imperator Furiosa. Together, these two characters would restore order in the chaotic world they exist in. This story was created by director George Miller.

The character of Mad Max would be played by Tom Hardy, replacing Mel Gibson. The 36-year old actor was said to have the ability to give justice to the character and the confidence to act in place of the actor that formerly played the role.

Charlize Theron, on the other hand, will play the character of Furiosa, a commander who has one mechanical arm. 'The Italian Job' actress, 38 and currently dating Sean Penn, made the most impact due to her transformation for the role which made her almost unrecognizable.

The actress sported a buzz-cut hairdo with dirt smeared all over her face. In the photos released, she also showed a very serious expression on her face that was fitting to her character.

The duo spent seven months filming in a desert in Namibia, a very daunting task for both A-list stars with the harsh and very different environment.

Rumors that the two stars didn't get along during the filming were denied by Charlize Theron. The actress said, "For me personally, it was an exhausting movie to make, but there was never anything personal between Tom and me. I wouldn't have wanted to make this movie with anybody else."

Kennedy Miller Productions and Village Roadshow co-produced the movie together with Warner Bros. and is expected to his theatres May of 2015 in the US and the UK.
