This is her Odyssey. #Furiosa - Only in Theaters 2024 Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in Academy Award-winning mastermind George Miller’s “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. Miller now turns the page again with an all-new original, standalone action adventure that will reveal the origins of the powerhouse character from the multiple Oscar-winning global smash “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The new feature from Warner Bros.

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. Taylor-Joy stars in the title role, and along with Hemsworth, the film also stars Alyla Browne and Tom Burke. Miller penned the script with “Mad Max: Fury Road” co-writer Nico Lathouris. Miller’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes first assistant director PJ Voeten and second unit director and stunt coordinator Guy Norris, director of photography Simon Duggan (“Hacksaw Ridge,” “The Great Gatsby”), composer Tom Holkenborg, sound designer Robert Mackenzie, editor Eliot Knapman, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson and colorist Eric Whipp. The team also includes other longtime collaborators: production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, sound mixer Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt, each of whom won an Oscar for their work on “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Warner Bros.

    Looks like Miller is still leaning on the grifty CGI from what I was seeing. It might be a good action romp, but I’m not expecting more than 300 with internal combustion aesthetics. This could be so much more than that, but we’ll have to see what comes.

    I didn’t think they’d actually go through with this, since IIRC Fury Road wasn’t that profitable despite universal acclaim.

    spoiler

    Also Fury Road was bad so I’d hoped cooler heads would prevail, rip

      Fury Road wasn’t that profitable despite universal acclaim.

      Budget $154.6–185.1 million

      Box office $380 million

      Sure it wasn’t raking in several times its budget, but that’s not terrible. There are movies that don’t even make back their budget.

      Also Fury Road was bad

      imagine not calling it “mediocre!!!” bakunin-immortan

        Here’s Wiki’s citation about Fury Road having lost $20-$40 million, probably due to marketing costs and such. It’s not a huge bomb by any stretch, but to lose money after all that box office take… so it needed to take 3-4× its budget to break even. lol

        Idk if that’s a joke or something, I just didn’t think it was very good. Amazing how it’s just the tanker bit from Road Warrior stretched out into two hours or whatever, but more boring?

          It’s one of my top 5 action movies of all time. They just don’t make movies like that anymore period, and judging by the trailer of this one, even it’s sequel gave up on doing stunt work.

          If you’re saying real action isn’t profitable and shouldn’t happen anymore, then that just sucks sadness

            Oh, no I was actually surprised when I learned it lost money. It was a huge hit, so I was like, how did it LOSE MONEY? Hollywood moment I guess…

            Theoretically I should like it, I love Mad Max and The Road Warrior. I found it kind of clean and shiny looking (and also waaaaay too orange) though, in spite of all the hubbub about the practical effects. I love stunt work and practical stuff, but Idk here… the 3D ‘moments’ in Fury Road are pure cringe imo :)

            It would be rad if they did more than one cool action movie with big cars. Fury Road should not spell any sort of death for the genre.

              The only cringe 3d moment I can think of is the clearly all cgi guitar blasting out of the screen near the end of the movie and I agree with you those kind of shots are definitely cringe.

              I agree they should make more movies like fury road but I can’t help but think that the studio screwing them over a ton of money and blaming them for production delays caused by the kind of real world production work they were doing is a small glimpse into why no one makes movies like that anymore. Too much risk and no reward other than appreciation from a handful of movie dorks who prefer watching real stuff over fake CGI action.

    So in writing there’s a bit of advice I’ve seen thrown around where you ask yourself, “is this the most exciting part of my character’s life?” And if the answer is “no”, you make your story about the most exciting part instead.

    I feel far less enthusiastic about this as I would be about another Mad Max with a different character, or even a total spinoff film in that universe, because we fukken know the most exciting part of Furiosa’s life already. Who cares about dumb bullshit like how she lost her arm, or why she started shaving her head? The answer to both of those question is “because they wanted to convey to the viewer visually that she’s a badass desert warrior woman”.

    The decision to go ahead with this movie smacks of Hollywood conservatism - we can’t do anything new, so let’s just riff on things we know people already like.
