To people saying black and white is just "take out the colors"… that\’s not how it works. It\’s like saying you can just change the engine on a ferrari with some big american muscle engine and it will be the same thing, no, you need to tune everything else or it\’ll just be a mess. B&W, to be good, needs a total rework of the tones in every scene.

Im not sure I would be sold on a b/w cut of Mad Max in theaters (unless it was in Imax again, because 1 day in Imax wasn\’t enough for this film)). However that is exactly the sort of thing that Blue-Ray sales are for. Hell, Id love to get just the music/score track on the b/w cut. Sell me THAT…

Miller\’s alternate version isn\’t only graded to black and white perfection, it also removes any dialogue and sound effects, with only the score accompanying it. Much like a true silent film. Without the obligatory dialogue title cards.

This would be fantastic. Once again many are forgetting the grueling process of color grading.. If you just set the movie in greyscale clearly it would be worse. This movie would be perfect for black and white to go alongside the gritty aesthetic of Frank Miller\’s Sin City. The beautiful desert in the daytime will be interesting, bring it on!

Well if it\’s just a black-and-white version of the film we already saw, then it\’s not a big deal. But if there are other differences, like alternate angles or scenes or whatnot, then absolutely.

Not interested. If I want to see it black and white, I can always adjust the color settings of my TV.
