Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is gearing up for its highly anticipated release next month. At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, attendees were treated to an exclusive sneak peek of the film, showcasing Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Imperator Furiosa and Chris Hemsworth as the formidable biker gang Warlord Dementus. The event featured an extended preview, lasting several action-packed minutes, divided into three captivating parts. In the first part, Hemsworth’s Dementus encounters a young Furiosa. The second part shows Furiosa’s journey to becoming a fighter and the third part depicts her quest for revenge against Dementus.
Warner Bros. describes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, “As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. 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.”
Director George Miller shared at CinemaCon that the film’s story spans 16 to 18 years. He and the team carefully crafted backstories for Furiosa and other characters, setting the plot for this highly anticipated prequel. “We wrote the backstories for everybody, of Furiosa, for all those years and also for Mad Max in the year before. When Fury Road had enough traction, we thought, ‘Oh, we’ve gotta go and do Furiosa,” said Miller.
Miller, along with co-writer Nico Lathouris, has created a film that not only serves as a prequel to Fury Road but also expands on the Wasteland saga that began with Mad Max (1979), Mad Max II: The Challenge (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985).
Apart from Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga boasts a talented ensemble cast including Lachy Hulme, Tom Burke, Nathan Jones, John Howard, Angus Sampson, Daniel Webber and Charlee Fraser. Hulme plays the role of Immortan Joe, originally portrayed by the late Hugh Keays-Byrne.
With its thrilling storyline and compelling characters, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga promises to be a must-see film when it hits theatres on May 24.
