Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Cast In Mad Max: Fury Road

After becoming an easy replacement for Megan Fox in Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon, supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had planned to focus more on her modeling career. It seems that plans have changed now that, according to Deadline, the British star has signed on to the cast of Mad Max: Fury Road.

The upcoming film has been in pre-production for several years, but things may be picking up since several cast positions have been recently filled.

Mad Max: Fury Road is reportedly a reboot of the original Mad Max movies, which starred Mel Gibson. This time Tom Hardy will be playing Mad Max and Huntington-Whiteley will be playing one of “five wives” being transported across the post apocalyptic wasteland. She will be joining Riley Keogh, Zoe Kravitz, and Adelaide Clemens as four of the five sister wives. The fifth wife has yet to be cast. Charlize Theron, who has shaved off her hair for the part, will star opposite Hardy.

George Miller will serve as director for Mad Max: Fury Road. The movie will reportedly begin filming next month in Africa after years of delays. There is currently no release date.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
