The Big Picture At long last, audiences are able to witness a return to George Miller's high-octane universe in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The director returns this time to tell the origin of Mad Max: Fury Road's standout character, originally played by Charlize Theron, in a tale of violence and revenge. The fifth installment of the franchise stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular lead opposite Chris Hemsworth, and brings a character-forward addition to the saga.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 710 The origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa before her encounter and team-up with Mad Max. George Miller Shares the Low-Budget Behind-the-Scenes of 'Mad Max' The movie launched an ongoing, decades-spanning franchise. Of the projects you've made, which one changed the most in the editing room in ways you didn't expect going in?
MILLER: Yes, we do. Mainly because to tell the story of Fury Road, which happens over a very compressed amount of time, you could argue that the first act of Fury Road and the last act are almost playing in real time over three days in order to tell that story on the run.
I think Guillermo del Toro told me he does something similar, and a few other filmmakers. It's also going back to what you said earlier. When you were editing on a Moviola or whatever it was, you couldn't do that. It's only the technology of today.
