Rosie Huntington-Whiteley previews ‘Mad Max Fury Road’ role, reflects on ‘Transformers’
The reboot of the Mad Max franchise is set for next year and actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely has been asked and speaking on her role in the film: Mad Max: Fury Road.
“Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are the leads, but I have a nice part. I loved the old Mad Max films,” she tells the Belfast Telegraph in the June 16 article, dismissing that there’s any animosity over the role in the last Transformers film.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon was panned by critics and not embraced by fans, but managed to be a blockbuster success financially.
“I worked really hard on that film and it took a beating but it was also one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. I still get fan mail about it. And I knew what was going to come with me, a Victoria’s Secret Angel, going into a film directed by Michael Bay. There was no way I was going to win with critics, but I saw it as an opportunity.”
Fury Road stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hugh Keays-Byrne, and Nathan Jones.
Mad Max: Fury Road opens May 15, 2015.
Here’s the official synopsis for Mad Max: Fury Road:
“MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the fourth film of George Miller‘s Road Warrior/Mad Max franchise co-written and directed by Miller. The post-apocalyptic action film is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life.
Within this world of fire and blood exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order… There’s Max (played by TOM HARDY from The Dark Knight Rises), a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos.
And… Furiosa (played by CHARLIZE THERON from Prometheus), a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
