Well this is weird/unexpected/excellent news: Looks like Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition is blasting into a few theaters this weekendāincluding 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 decadeāand 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 filmāand director George Miller's preferred cut:
āIāve 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 āslash dupeā used for the filmās scoring sessions. āSomething 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 soonābut 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:
