Aug 11, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough is all set to star as one of the Five Wives in the upcoming ‘Fury Road’ which is the next film in line in the ‘Mad Max’ series. Riley Keough debuted last year in The Runaways which also starred Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Apart from Riley Keough, the reports suggest that Charlize Theron has also signed up for the movie.

Tom Hardy of ‘Inception’ fame, will be playing the role of Mad Max. The shooting for the film will begin in Australia next year and this time Mad Max will be seen protecting the Five Wives. The project will be a great boost for the career of Riley Keough as it is expected to be a big budget and highly anticipated venture. The 21 year old daughter of Lisa Marie Presley has endorsed several well known brands and also graced the cover of fashion magazines.

Mel Gibson played the role of Mad Max in the earlier installments of the movie and several critics feel that it will be a very difficult shoe to fill in for Tom Hardy. Tom Hardy was recently in the news for admitting that he had homosexual relationships in the past. In the film ‘Inception’ he played the role of Eames. His strength in the film was his power to take the form of the others within the dream. In real life, Tom Hardy is known to have battled drug and alcoholism issues in his younger years. Riley Keough has also completed two more films in 2010. Reports indicate that Elvis Presley’s granddaughter is presently dating a Canadian bass player.
