Edgar Wright had a small hand in the massive success of the “Top Gun” sequel.

Visionary filmmaker George Miller returns to his gasoline-fueled wasteland fantasy action universe this summer “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” The latest installment of his post-apocalypse saga is a prequel centering on a young Furiosa (this time played by Anya Taylor-Joy instead of Charlize Theron), but it apparently almost went in a totally different direction, using a totally different medium In a new interview with Total Film (via Games Radar), producer Doug Mitchell recently revealed how the prequel came about and how it was actually ready 15 years ago story-wise, with the original intention of becoming an anime project, not the live-action thriller that arrives in May.

Yesterday, Warner Bros. kicked off CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas with the first big studio panel, igniting a wave of excitement among fans of the “Mad Max” franchise. Visionary filmmaker George Miller’s ‘Furisoa: A Mad Max Saga’ was a highlight of the event as the film’s backstory of our wasteland heroine unfolds over 20 years.

It’s official: George Miller returns to the Croisette for the world premiere of his latest “Mad Max” saga. Deadline reports that “Furiosa” will open the 2024 edition of the Cannes Film Festival on May 15.

Largely beloved upon its arrival in 2015, George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” is now considered a 21st-century classic. And while the adrenaline-pounding film was supposed to be a Mad Max story, clearly one of the more compelling characters was Charlize Theron’s Furiosa, who went toe to toe with Tom Hardy’s Max in the movie.

Engines will rev and roar in the wasteland once more in May when George Miller’s “Furious: A Mad Max Saga” finally his theaters. The film, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, is a prequel to the events of “Mad Max: Fury Road” and a new trailer has dropped.

Who’s ready to ride into Valhalla again, all shiny and chrome? It’s not much longer until George Miller‘s “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” hits theaters on May 24. But despite a riveting first trailer for the film dropping late last November, many aspects of the blockbuster remain a mystery.

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” isn’t due in theaters until the beginning of the summer. However, given that it is most likely making its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in mid-May, the promotional machine for the George Miller-directed film is already underway.

What a lovely day! The new trailer for Academy Award-winning mastermind George Miller‘s “Furiosa” is here, and it unveils a new title: “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” the much-anticipated return to the iconic dystopian world he created more than 30 years ago with the seminal “Mad Max” films.

George Miller‘s “Mad Max: Fury Road” wowed critics and audiences at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. So it only makes sense the director would want his upcoming “Furiosa” to have its world premiere at the same fest, right? Variety reports (via World Of Reel) that Miller eyes a Cannes 2024 premiere for his action-packed prequel.

You can’t help but be impressed with the work ethic of actor Chris Hemsworth of late.

Production on the latest Mad Max movie Furiosa has reportedly shut down after director George Miller tested positive for Covid. The multi-million dollar blockbuster, which is the fifth instalment in the Mad Max franchise, sees Thor actor Chris Hemsworth play antagonist Immortan Joe as well, while War and Peace actor Tom Burke will star as Dr Dementus alongside The Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role of Imperator Furiosa.It’s both a spin-off and prequel to 2015’s Fury Road which starred Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. Filming has been well underway with Marvel star Hemsworth, 38, spotted in costume on set in the Kurnell area of Sydney, Australia last month after production started in June. However, it’s now claimed that filming has been halted until at least August 15. It’s said that the film’s legendary filmmaker Miller, who has directed the Max Max movies since the series began in the 1970s, tested positive for Covid on Monday. According to Daily Mail Australia, the 77-year-old is currently isolating at his home in Sydney. Miller created the Max Max franchise in 1979 with the first movie starring Mel Gibson in the titular role, and went on to helm the next three, including 1981’s The Road Warrior.

Production on George Miller’s high-anticipated follow-up to “Mad Max: Fury Road” is well underway in the land down under. And now there are some interesting new details about the prequel pic that stars Anya Taylor-Joy of “The Northman” as the titular wasteland warrior Furiosa (taking over for Charlize Theron) and “Thor: Love & Thunder” lead Chris Hemsworth.

CANNES – George Miller is one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of his generation, but when it comes to Tilda Swinton he truly knows among the greats. The star, along with Idris Elba, of his new film “Three Thousand Years of Longing” says she doesn’t pick roles.

If anyone has a right to be jaded about superhero movies, it’s George Miller. Miller posses one of the great what-if superhero stories, having spent several years in the 2000s working on “Justice League Mortal,” a $200 million dollar movie that would have featured Armie Hammer as Batman and D.J.

As if unleashing all the pent-up narrative impulses tamped down for the hard-bitten minimalism of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Australia’s proudest son George Miller returns to Cannes’ out-of-Competition section with a sumptuous banquet of storytelling in service of storytelling. “Three Thousand Years of Longing” compresses eons of heartbreak, happenstance, and hope into a hotel room tête-à-tête that then re-blooms to the size of the universe, a parable both titanic and intimate in scale as it negotiates one woman’s complacent solitude against the welfare of mythologies dating back to the cradle of civilization.

It hopefully should not be controversial to say that “Mad Max: Fury Road” is a titanic work of modern filmmaking. It may then come as a surprise that its equally iconic creator, George Miller, has not made a film since its release.
