That’s funny, it’s usually the one that green lights the picture that gets blamed for being the old fossil. Though the director or the writer or the actors usually take plenty of blame if the show is just plain bad. If your Mel you have to want to do the picture, for the right reasons. Phoning the performance in Isn’t going to cut it. Number four will be a Miller production after all, how can you site anyone else to do it at this point. He made the “Mad Max” franchise as much as Mel or anyone else from its origins. I think the majority of that franchises’ fans would rather see Max’s story go forward rather than look back or get a substitute or a reboot…

And by “old guys” I mean the directors who make films… The kind of people who put C.G.I. ants and cartoon monkeys in Indiana JOnes and turned it to a dinsney flick…
Money money, money.
Mel could make Mad Max right, and it’d be a revolution in modern film genre.

I just want to see him kick that much ass and more in Mad Max four before they wait too long, or give it to somebody half that cool.
Wish they could talk some sense into those idiots, and make a good story that was actually good and could incorperate somthing besides this ROCKNROLLA REBOOT crap.
The old guys are so outa touch.

[...] of yesteryear. That Mel has been gone for some time now and even though he looks great in the new Edge of Darkness trailer, it’s just been too long since he strapped on the leather, wielded the sawed-off shotgun [...]

@Robyn

That just means Mel hasn’t made a movie with a political message the “Academy” wanted to promote. Doesn’t mean squat anymore like the Nobel Peace Prize…

@ The old man says
“lots of people like him do this kind of work”
Yeah, those people would go see “Leathal Weapon 17″ however
crapy it may be!
I would rather see something in the vein of “Gallipoli” or “The Year of Living Dangerously” something new and original.
Mel has lost his way as an actor. There was a time I thought he would become another De Niro, Pacino – when was Mel nominated for an Oscar – never!

Mel’s been around the farm so to speak, several times. I see this kind of like comfort food. Familiar and predictable but it still tastes good. Lots of people like to see him do this kind of work. See if he brings anything new to the model Robyn2. You never know until you find out…

How original, another detective part for Mel,his big comeback to acting – more of the same as before.
Very dissapointing, and it is a re-make of a British Tv show.
Like Payback – it will bomb!
To see or not to see – NOT!

I too am a Martin Campbell fan. BOTH his James Bond movies were awesome, Goldeneye and Casino Royale, so I’m excited to see him take on the comic book world with Green Lantern and now this movie looks like a winner too.

man its good to see mell back in action. now we just need him in a good old kickass action flick again like the patriot. he would be amazing in a superhero movie i think as like the oldschool badass.

Didn’t know he was doing Green Lantern. Very cool. Aren’t they still writing that?

Like someone esle said this feel like Payback, which was a awsome movie. I’ll watch this for sure.

Looks watchable. Casino Royale was so good, I’m down to see anything from Martin Campbell.
