"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" has a rich and complex production history. The idea for a prequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road" was conceived by director George Miller over 15 years ago. Initially, Miller planned for it to be an anime titled "The Peach," to be directed by Mahiro Maeda. However, the project evolved over time into a live-action film (gamesradar) (Popverse).
The film, starring Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa, explores the character's origins and her journey through the Wasteland. The production faced several challenges and underwent extensive planning, including a notable 78-day shoot for a single 15-minute action sequence involving 200 stunt performers (gamesradar).
"Furiosa" boasts a significant budget, surpassing that of "Fury Road," making it one of the largest productions in Australian cinema history. It created substantial economic impact by providing 850 jobs and generating $350 million AUD for the local economy (JoBlo).
The film also features Chris Hemsworth as the antagonist Dementus, and includes returning characters and crew from "Fury Road," ensuring continuity within the "Mad Max" universe. With its release set for May 24, 2024, the film promises to be a significant addition to the franchise (Popverse).
The cast of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" includes:
- Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa
