Mad Max: Fury Road Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Apparently, it’s really difficult to shoot a ‘Mad Max’ film. Just yesterday, we shared a story about Anya Taylor-Joy describing her experience shooting “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” And now, we have yet another wrinkle in the previously known clash on the set of “Mad Max: Fury Road.”  READ MORE: ‘Furiosa’ Star Anya Taylor-Joy Talks Difficulty Behind The Scenes: “I’ve Never Been More Alone” In a new interview with The Telegraph, filmmaker George Miller offered his insight in the apparent war between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy.

As we just outlined, Jeremy Renner is past the road to recovery despite a life-threatening freak accident in early 2023 that nearly killed him. Just over a year later, Renner was back at it, filming season three of the Taylor Sheridan crime series, “Mayor Of Kingtown,” which debuted this past Sunday at Paramount+.

While it made $65 million dollars worldwide in its global opening, it’s fair to say that the domestic opening for “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” at $32 million, was underwhelming and, worrisomely, might be the end of the ‘Mad Max’ franchise. Then again, “Mad Max: Fury Road” never opened up substantially higher, only earning $45 million in its early May debut in 2015.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga doesn’t miss Max, who cedes the spotlight in this installment to the fearsome post-apocalyptic female warrior Furiosa, introduced in George Miller’s 2015 Oscar-winner Mad Max: Fury Road.But this movie is missing something, because, although it looks and sounds impressive, it doesn’t approach the pulse-pounding potency of Fury Road.In that film, Mad Max-meister Miller undergirded the bone-crushing vehicular mayhem with compelling purpose. Furiosa, then portrayed by Charlize Theron, was on a mission to free the enslaved wives of water-hoarding tyrant Immortan Joe, chillingly played by Hugh Keays-Byrne.She also had her own score to settle with Joe, and did, by summarily sending his lower jaw flying off in a different direction than the rest of his face.For Furiosa, Miller and returning Fury Road co-writer Nick Lathouris rewind the clock to recount their heroine’s harrowing origin story.

Nine years after “Mad Max: Fury Road” blazed madly on screen, reinvigorating the “Mad Max” franchise in the process, filmmaker George Miller’s “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is just a few short weeks from release. Set for a May 24 release, we’ll get word even sorry in mid-May at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film will make its world premiere.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is one of the best action films of the last decade. But not only is the on-screen action and story incredibly interesting, but over the years, we’ve heard more and more behind-the-scenes tales that make it seem as if the drama behind the camera was almost just as fascinating.

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.

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.

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.

It’s official. After months of speculation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the new Furiosa for the upcoming “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel film.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is one of the best action movies of the past decade, a masterclass in storytelling and worldbuilding by George Miller that introduced a rich world full of possibilities. From the moment the film became a hit, fans have been clamoring for a sequel.

George Miller‘s Oscar-winning “Mad Max: Fury Road” remains one of the biggest cinematic miracles in modern history. A film filled with production issues it’s truly astonishing that it turned out so well and so successful.

Charlize Theron has become one of the go-to actresses when it comes to action films. She’s appeared in films such as “Fate of the Furious,” “Atomic Blonde,” and the upcoming “The Old Guard,” due to her ability to not only act but to actually pull off action scenes.

Charlize Theron will always have fond memories of shooting Mad Max: Fury Road because she had just become a first-time mum before shooting.

Mad Max: Fury Road has been voted as the best film of the century by Empire magazine critics and readers.
