Mad max cast update#

George Miller has chosen his new Furiosa, as Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy join the cast. “Silverton and Broken Hill have suffered over the last couple of years like many business and communities, so we will very much embrace filming in our back yard,” he said. But this will test us, especially with staffing which is a major issue in Australia at the moment, but we have a great range of friends who we may have to call on. “We have done a lot of work on our infrastructure at the hotel and have catered for large numbers over the years. “We have a picture in the pub of Mel Gibson playing cards on the bar 40 years ago and I will be trying to have one with Chris in the same spot with the same window curtains still in place,” says Mr Price, already thinking tourism and marketing strategies. “Apparently filming will take place over two months so I am sure wherever goes there will be plenty wishing to make contact. The pub, located in the centre of the town of 35 and four donkeys (about 26 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill), will provide a perfect oasis after a hard day on the tools. “Chris Hemsworth will steal the show, which is great … looking forward to being involved in our little community 800 cast and crew hanging out at different times at the Silverton Hotel.

Unlike Mad Max: Fury Road, which was filmed in Namibia on the west African coast, director George Miller is bringing the production back home.

“Filming set to take place in a number of locations including in Western Sydney and regional NSW,” a 2021 statement read. “With NSW employing 56 per cent of the Australian screen industry, the production is expected to support more than 850 local jobs and bring around $350 million into the NSW economy. Hay, a town of some 2500 people nestled on the Murrumbidgee River, could do with an injection of tourism dollars, and its proud locals are beyond excited.Īccording to Screen NSW, securing the production of Furiosa in NSW was an “important win” for the state and the NSW film industry.

IndieWire will continue to update the list as breaking news around the project is announced.The Hay Caravan Park confirmed to The New Daily on January 17 that producers have booked its powered sites and nine cabins, including enough room for between 40 to 50 Winnebagos on a 2.5-hectare site. Production won’t start until next year, but there’s a lot to get excited about right now in regards to “Furiosa.” Our rundown below includes every detail we know about “Furiosa” so far. The future of “Mad Max” looked bright after “Fury Road” thanks to Theron and Furiosa, but Miller is choosing instead to continue the franchise by rewinding the clock for a prequel about everyone’s favorite Imperator. “Initially unyielding in her toughness, steady revelations finally let Max - and the audience - into her deep emotional reserves, with Theron marrying Furiosa’s toughness and smarts with an unshakable sense of nostalgia and destiny.” “Furiosa is the real hero of the story, armed with not only intelligence and grit, but serious skill behind the wheel of a war rig,” IndieWire’s Kate Erbland wrote of the character. IndieWire named Charlize Theron’s performance as Furiosa the ninth best of the decade. It didn’t take long for the character to join Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley from the “Alien” franchise or Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor from “The Terminator” films as one of cinema’s most definitive action heroines.

George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” is widely considered one of the greatest action movies ever made (the film ranked ninth on IndieWire’s list of the 100 best films of the 2010s), and a big reason why is Imperator Furiosa.
