After receiving the highest-praise from film critics and moviegoers alike, pocketing $378.4 million at the worldwide box office, being the second most-nominated film of the 88th Academy Awards and coming away with six Oscars, it is hard to believe that there is a better cut of Mad Max: Fury Road, but director George Miller has said since 2015 that the black-and-white version is "more authentic and elemental."

So, where the heck is this black-and-white cut? Before Mad Max: Fury Road was first released on Blu-ray and DVD in October 2015, many people expected Warner Bros. to include the black-and-white version, but it wasn't there. Miller would later announce in January 2016 that the black-and-white cut would appear in another DVD release, but no specifics were provided at the time.

Fast-forward to now, and it looks like the black-and-white cut of Mad Max: Fury Road is finally ready to be unveiled to the public. Refocused Media (via cinemablend) has discovered that "Mad Max: High Octane Collection," a new 6-disc box set, has been added to Amazon Germany and will indeed feature the black-and-white cut, which is dubbed the "Black and Chrome Edition." It'll be released on September 29th.

Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

Tom Hardy ("The Dark Knight Rises") stars in the title role in "Mad Max: Fury Road"—the fourth in the franchise's history. Oscar winner Charlize Theron ("Monster," "Prometheus") stars as the Imperator, Furiosa. The film also stars Nicholas Hoult ("X-Men: Days of Future Past") as Nux; Hugh Keays-Byrne ("Mad Max," "Sleeping Beauty") as Immortan Joe; Nathan Jones ("Conan the Barbarian") as Rictus Erectus; Josh Helman ("X-Men: Days of Future Past") as Slit; collectively known as The Wives, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ("Transformers: Dark of the Moon") is Splendid, Riley Keough ("Magic Mike") is Capable, Zoë Kravitz ("Divergent") plays Toast, Abbey Lee is The Dag, and Courtney Eaton is Fragile. Also featured in the movie are John Howard, Richard Carter, singer/songwriter/performer iOTA, Angus Sampson, Jennifer Hagan, Megan Gale, Melissa Jaffer, Melita Jurisic, Gillian Jones and Joy Smithers.

Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller ("Happy Feet") directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller is also produced the film, along with longtime producing partner, Oscar nominee Doug Mitchell ("Babe", "Happy Feet"), and P.J. Voeten.
