Mad Max: Fury Road Adds Hoult

Ok, so this isn't exactly about Mel Gibson, just a character he helped bring into the spotlight. THR's Heat Vision blog is reporting that Nicholas Hoult has signed on for George Miller's continuation of the road warrior franchise. Hoult will play a character named Nux. Details on the role are sketchy at best.  Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are slated to headline the sci-fi pic.

Hoult will be recognizable to some as the little boy who starred opposite Hugh Grant in 2002's About a Boy. He most recently gained some serious acclaim and a BAFTA Rising Star nomination for his role opposite Colin Firth in A Single Man. He will next appear in the remake of Clash of the Titans.

Um, dude has grown up. Big time. I won't go into too much detail, but ladies, you might want to go see A Single Man and witness his performance in it. There's plenty of eye candy for you to look at in it. I bet Julianne Moore had a field day.

As for Mad Max, I'm still not into this film at all. The other Mad Max movies never did much for me, and George Miller is a spotty director in my opinion. Hopefully when footage starts coming out my mind will be changed.
