Premise

As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and into the hands of a Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. While two Tyrants war for dominance over the Citadel, Furiosa survives many trials as she plots a way back home through the Wasteland.[1]

Development and casting

In March 2020, Variety reported that George Miller was using Skype to conduct casting auditions for the title role of Furiosa, a Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) spin-off film centered on the character of Imperator Furiosa. Anya Taylor-Joy was among the candidates.[3] In October, the film was announced to be in advanced development, with Taylor-Joy confirmed to be playing the title role, and Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II cast to co-star. Multiple Fury Road crew members were announced to be returning for the film, including film editor Margaret Sixel, production designer Colin Gibson, sound mixer Ben Osmo, and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt.[4]

In February 2021, composer Junkie XL, who previously scored Fury Road, confirmed he would return for Furiosa.[5] Jenny Beavan would also return to work on the costume design.[6] Miller chose Taylor-Joy for the titular role after seeing her performance in an early cut of the film Last Night in Soho and for her audition he assigned her the "Mad as Hell" monologue from Sidney Lumet's Network.[7][8] She was paid $1.8 million for her involvement.[9] Due to a scheduling conflict, Abdul-Mateen II exited the project in November, with Tom Burke cast to replace him.[10]

In January 2022, it was reported that Simon Duggan would be serving as cinematographer.[11] In June 2022, it was reported Nathan Jones and Angus Sampson were set to reprise their roles from Fury Road.[12] In August, Quaden Bayles, who worked on Miller's Three Thousand Years of Longing after Bayles went viral for a video about his mistreatment at school, was announced to be appearing in Furiosa, in a small role.[2]

The film was awarded a AU$175 million filming incentive,[13] and spent a total of US$233 million (AU$343.2 million) in Australia, the most-ever for a film production in the country.[14]

Filming

Furiosa was shot in the New South Wales towns of Hay (left) and Silverton (right), which is often considered a ghost town,[15] though it has a small population of 26 people.

After multiple different dates were reported for the start of filming, Deadline confirmed in a May 2022 interview with Miller that second unit filming was currently underway in Australia in advance of principal photography.[16] In May 2022, second unit filming moved to Hay with more scheduled to take place in Silverton.[17] Principal photography began on 1 June 2022, in Australia, and was expected to wrap by September.[18][19] Filming officially wrapped on 28 October 2022.[20]

Release

Furiosa is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on 24 May 2024 by Warner Bros. Pictures.[21] It was originally scheduled to be released on 23 June 2023.[22]
