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

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.

It’s been seven years since Australian filmmaker George Miller dropped “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the acclaimed action fantasy some consider the best movie of the century. Now, the visionary writer/director/producer is back in the spotlight with another idiosyncratic original story.

Aussie director George Miller is at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere his romantic fantasy film “Three Thousand Years of Longing” which is led by British actors Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. Miller was specifically asked about his “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” where he gave a little bit of insight into the post-apocalypse action film.

While filmmaker George Miller is prepping his “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” to shoot in Australia later this year, he’s already got his next film in post-production— “Three Thousand Years of Longing” starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. According to Variety, the epic fantasy romance picture budgeted at $60 million will be making its debut at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

It’s been well documented that the development and production of George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” were nearly disastrous, leading to multiple headaches and hiccups delaying the film’s start, along with ditching a proposed 4th film with Mel Gibson and instead, starting a new story with Tom Hardy mid-stream after the events of “The Road Warrior.” When cameras finally began rolling, the problems didn’t end there as Hardy, and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron ended up despising each other, which may have helped illustrate the characters’ tension in the film’s story.

It’s hard to imagine now, so long after it was released, that anyone would have been able to step into the roles of Max and Furiosa in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” like Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron were able to do. However, like almost every other film ever created, there was a time when the filmmakers were trying to narrow down who exactly would be the best actors for the job.

Following his celebrated turns in “Watchmen,” “Candyman,” and “The Trial of the Chicago, “Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is arguably one of the most in-demand actors of the moment. Next month, he turns up “The Matrix Resurrections” as the new Morpheus; after that, it’s starring next to Jake Gyllenhaal in Michael Bay’s “Ambulance,” and he’s currently shooting “Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom.” But one highly anticipated film he won’t be appearing in now is the new “Mad Max: Furiosa” film.

Australia is undergoing something they somewhat avoided last year, the pandemic hurting the entertainment industry in a major way compared to other nations.

It’s been nearly six years since “Mad Max: Fury Road” actually hit theaters. That film, though acclaimed and Oscar-winning since its release, was the subject of extensive delays and false starts during its development.

It’s a lovely day, and prepare for more to come. Warner Bros.

George Miller has taken some well-deserved time away from films since the release of his Oscar-winning feature, “Mad Max: Fury Road.” But now, not only is he prepping work for a ‘Fury Road’ prequel titled “Furiosa,” with Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth aboard, he’s already apparently deep into production on the long-awaited feature, “Three Thousand Years of Longing.” READ MORE: George Miller Says New Idris Elba/Tilda Swinton Film Begins Filming In Early 2020: “It’s The Anti-‘Mad Max’”

For years, when talking about the process of creating “Mad Max: Fury Road,” director George Miller would often talk about how the scripting stage was actually devoid of, well, writing. In fact, the common anecdote surrounding the production of ‘Fury Road’ is that Miller and the rest of his collaborators worked without a script and, instead, utilized thousands of storyboard drawings to shape the plot and action of the epic, Oscar-winning film.

It’s official—Anya Taylor–Joy is your new Furiosa. Earlier this week, it was announced that the actress best known for roles in “The Witch,” “Split,” and “Thoroughbreds” is taking over the role once occupied by Charlize Theron for a new “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel focused on the breakout badass character.

Chris Hemsworth said he is “damn fired up” after it was announced he will star in a Mad Max prequel film.
