Aussie supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw has replaced actress Teresa Palmer in director George Miller's "Mad Max" revamp.
 
Palmer was forced to drop out of the delayed project due to reported scheduling conflicts, and her departure gives Kershaw the chance to make her acting debut opposite Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.
 
An insider tells the Daily Telegraph that the model will portray a post-apocalyptic woman caged like a bird for her beauty.
 
Cameras on "Mad Max: Fury Road," which was to have started filming last year, are expected to roll this summer.
