Australian director George Miller is set to premiere the highly anticipated 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' at the Cannes film festival. The film serves as an origin story for the tough female warrior Furiosa, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy.
Las Vegas – Australian director George Miller described his “ Mad Max ” series as “addictive” on Monday as he prepares to premiere the fifth film set in its high-octane, post-apocalyptic world with the highly anticipated “ Furiosa .”
The movie will receive a glitzy world premiere at the Cannes film festival early next month, but Miller shared a few early details about the prequel at the CinemaCon movie theater convention in Las Vegas on Monday. When “Fury Road” was a hit, grossing $380 million and winning six Oscars, Miller realized that the movie’s backstory was “a rich story to tell” in its own right.
Where it all began… Australian actor Mel Gibson on the set of the first Mad Max, written and directed by fellow Australian George Miller. “That was a really lucky thing, but because accidentally, the film — which otherwise would have been present-day, naturalistic — turned out to be more allegorical, unwittingly,” recalled Miller, now 79.“And that’s sort of what led to ‘Mad Max,’ and that’s why we’re still doing them. Because they’re very addictive.”The initial movie grossed $100 million. Its global success led to “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior” in 1981 and “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” in 1985.
A fourth installment was a long time coming, as Miller tried his hand at wildly diverse films, including family movies like “Babe” and “Happy Feet.”
