Well this is weird/unexpected/excellent news: Looks like Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition is blasting into a few theaters this weekendā€”including Portland's Fox Tower 10.

Mad Max: Fury Road, as you no doubt are well aware, is one of the finest motion pictures of the past decadeā€”and easily one of the greatest action movies of... well, ever. And the Black & Chrome Edition? Well, that'd be the black-and-white version of the filmā€”and director George Miller's preferred cut:

ā€œIā€™ve always dreamed about putting out a Mad Max movie in black and white,ā€ he begins, noting that his favorite version of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior was a cheap ā€œslash dupeā€ used for the filmā€™s scoring sessions. ā€œSomething about black and white, the way it distills [the film], makes it a little bit more abstractā€¦ makes it a little more iconic.ā€ (Via.)

Sure, you can stream Black & Chrome on Amazon and YouTube, and it's coming out on Blu-ray soonā€”but c'mon. It's fucking Fury Road. See it big. See it loud. Here's a fan trailer that gives some indication of what this thing is gonna be like:
