Two Mad Max Films Being shot back-to-back!

Twitch has revealed that Georgre Miller has plans to not only shoot the Mad Max remake Mad Max Fury Road, but that he has plans to shoot a sequel back-to-back with that production. The sequel is said to be called Mad Max Furiosa. The films are apparently being shot this way to allow for rapid release.
Not that I was ever really all that excited about the Mad Max remake as it was, now comes news that there's already two in development. Has Hollywood gone completely bat shit crazy or is it just me. I would've assumed before wasting more money they'd wait to see how Fury Road performed before green lighting a sequel. I think what the studio is trying to do though, is have a sequel out before the excitement from the remake dies down.
I mean it's one thing for the current tween phenomenon franchises Twilight or even the Harry Potter films to do this, but why gamble with a property no one's seen or heard from in 25 years! Not to mention the original films weren't really that big a success even for there time. So I have to wonder what genius gave the go ahead on this project to begin with.
Mad Max Fury Road stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz and Adelaide Clemens.

I LOVED these movies as a kid. I can't wait for this
The old mad max movies are way overrated. even at the time they came out there was a lot better movies coming out.
to mad max be a good action film is necesary a hard guy (like mel gibson), i recomend you give a powerful car to mad, the kind of car you see and say: that is a car for a true hard men, color black and beatiful like a women. obviously you must have a good action history, so the people will put attention to the movie from the start to the end. if you are able to get all this ingredients you will get a big action film.
