i'm sure they didn't have to bribe her...
She's done a ton of low key movies, like The Road, another post apocalyptic movie. She's working with George Miller, who is known as one of the best directors to work with. For fans of the original trilogy, it's a long time coming. it's not a remake, though.
I don't believe you can replace Mel Gibson in that role, but no one will work with him anymore.

I had read they weren't going to use much CGI ...
I loved seeing that because I loathe too much CGI. You start to feel like you are just watching a video game without the benefit of being able to play the thing. I guess they changed their minds. Looks like CGI central to me. I'm one of those that prefer the look of 2001 Space Odyseey and the first Star Wars movies to almost any space movies today.
Also, I might be wrong, but I don't think it is a remake of Mad Max. I think the movie is set in the time frame between Mad Max and Road Warrior.

Yeah...seriously. I was depressed for a month after watching
it..plus Omar from "The Wire" had a cameo in it. He wasn't the tough Omar in that movie.

Re: i'm sure they didn't have to bribe her...
you're correct on the CGI...it goes back to real car crashes and explosions. it's one long car chase sequence for the most part, according to Miller, with very little dialogue. Seems like I read Theron's character was the antagonist in the story, but don't quote me on that.
Miller said he wanted to make the movie a long time ago, but schedules, money, etc, wouldn't allow it. Then Gibson had his melt down and he just felt sorry for him; that it wasn't the same man he knew that was Max 20 years earlier. I would've liked to have seen Gibson at least have a cameo in this one. The Road Warrior is still my favorite sci fi movie, with Blade Runner being a close second.
