New 'Mad Max' movie casting updates

I lost count of all the upcoming Hollywood projects I don't give a damn about, but one I simply don't care for is "Fury Road," the new "Mad Max" flick from George Miller, who also developed the film's predecessors.

Anyway, the movie is happening, sadly, and the Hollywood Reporter says Nicholas Hoult joins a cast that could also include Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer and Adelaide Clemens. Hoult will play a guy named Nux.

Not many plot details have been released, but I hear the story takes place after 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."Of course, Mel Gibson played the main character in the previous films.

Hoult's acting credits include "A Single Man," "The Weather Man" and of course "About a Boy," in which he played Marcus (he was a child in that flick!). He will also soon be seen in "Clash of the Titans."

Oh, before I forget, Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy also star in "Fury Road." I don't know what it would take to me care for this one. Probably nothing. Who knows. Maybe they can pull it off. Or not. It doesn't matter.
