Director George Miller has wrapped production on Mad Max: Furiosa, and it’s now in the post-production process. there’s still a long way to go before we see this movie, but damn… I can’t wait to see what Miller and his creative team end up delivering!
Mad Max: Fury Road was just wonderfully insane, and I just want to see more of that high-octane madness! I want to feel the heat of the explosions on my face and smell the burning fuel as I watch the movie!
Furiosa will give us the origin story of the badass character previously played by Charlize Theron. In this film, the character is played by Anya Taylor-Joy, and in a recent interview, she called the production of Miller's film a "life-changing" type of experience. She told THR:
"It will take me the full two years before the movie comes out to even begin to process what I just left 12 days ago. [Furiosa] was the most life-changing experience that I've ever had, with such talented artists. I really felt like I grew so much, but yes, it's wild. It's utterly unique."
Bring on the awesomeness! In the film, "As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home."
Miller previously talked about the film, saying: "I'll tell you how it's going when it's finished, but it has got off to a lovely start. All I can say about my excitement about doing it is that it's definitely exciting, because even though it's certainly of that world of Fury Road, it's also got a lot of the differences we've been talking about. Again, it's uniquely familiar. And probably the biggest difference is the timespan. Fury Road happened over three days and two nights and this one happens over 15 years. So, it's a saga."
When talking about Furiosa, Miller hinted that the backstory is one he would like to explore: "Yeah, she’s a pretty compelling character so it would be great to tell her story. Her backstory is really interesting. We only allude to it in this movie because this movie is on the run; people don’t have much time for recreational talk. But you pick up, you have a sense of her having gone through stuff. That’s what the film is trying to do. You’re trying to put a lot of iceberg under the tip, I like saying. One of the things that’s really gratifying, people are reading the film more than just the surface — the events of the movie, and just picking up a lot of stuff underneath it, which is very deliberate......So in many ways, the audience is picking up a lot about Furiosa — or enough to intrigue. And she’s got an interesting story."
The film is scheduled to hit theaters on May 24, 2024. There were some set photos that previously surfaced that offer a look at the main characters. The movie also stars Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke.
