The SciFi Wire is your Friend:

                   Universal Revs Mad Max 4 

                   Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to
                   the Mad Max SF film series and plans to
                   release the fourth Max movie in the summer
                   of 2001 or 2002, according to Variety.
                   George Miller, who had a hand in writing and
                   directing the first three Max films, has signed
                   on to produce and direct the new flick, and
                   although he has developed a story for the
                   picture, he won't necessarily write this one
                   himself. 

                   Variety also reported that Mel Gibson has not
                   been contacted about appearing in the
                   fourth Max film, despite having starred in the
                   first three. One reason might be his going
                   rate of $20 million per film, a far cry from the
                   $15,000 he received for starring in the
                   original Mad Max. 

                   Miller plans to shoot Max 4 in Australia, the
                   same locale used for the previous films, Mad
                   Max, The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond
                   Thunderdome.
