You mean the intensity of it all? I tried RICK AND MORTY on Netflix, and didn't care for it much. Too frenetic. But I love FURY ROAD. So go figure.

Quote

Speaking of Mad Max, Miller shared that he’s “not done with the Mad Max story” and that there is “another Mad Max coming down the pike” revealing that they are in preparation on the next project even as Three Thousand Years of Longing enters pre-production.

 

“It’s an interesting question, the idea of multi-tasking. I discuss this with other filmmakers and I think what happens to me is that when you’re working on one thing, and you get so distracted and focused on that one thing, it’s like a creative holiday to focus on the other one for a bit. It helps you achieve that objectivity, to look at the thing afresh each time and say, I thought I was doing this, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.”

George Miller’s Furiosa set for June 23, 2023 starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role, alongside Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Miller penned the script and produces alongside his longtime partner, Oscar-nominated producer Doug Mitchell

[Jay 37,369]

Furiosa to begin filming this June in Australia - “It is expected to become the biggest film ever to be made in Australia.”

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Omg it was all they talked about on the Aussie news today. I was glad to just watch some Dancing With The Stars instead.

" No Hardy, No MAX!"

No Hardy, no MAX!

[Jules 59]

I live in Sydney and I’m signed up to an extras casting agency. Super keen to get a role in this one, missed out on Thor this year

[bruce marshall 1,315]

I wouldn't be in that film for anything. Not after seeing the doc about FR!😵

Another missed opportunity because somehow, people want another score from Mr. XL.

Very much looking forward to this.

Furiosa Wraps Production

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Can't wait for this one

Looks as visually spectacular as Fury Road (maybe a bit more digital) but it's great that they came back to Australia to shoot this one!

 

The grainy, grittiness of earlier Mad Max films is certainly gone, but Miller's visual flare always delivers in spades.

[Andy 4,138]

Do they understand the meaning of the word “Saga”?

[Jay 37,369]

Anyone else think it's weird that it took nine years to get a followup to the megahit that was Fury Road, and it's a Furiosa spinoff? I feel like we should have already had two sequels with Hardy and Theron by now, and then it'd be prequel time

[mrbellamy 6,287]

George Miller filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros for $7 million he felt his production company was owed on Fury Road, not sure if that's still ongoing but I know that delayed things big time.

 

I assume Miller being uncompromising in general, but especially with Mad Max, would also make things more difficult than the usual Hollywood sequel train. He apparently has two Fury Road follow-ups in mind but the Furiosa prequel won out for whatever reason. Maybe it had to do with getting Hardy and Theron back.

a long, involved story, account, or series of incidents.

 

a long story of heroic achievement

Somehow I don't think the two of them would ever work together again, but I guess money talks.

I guess it could just be the trailer house cleaning and regrading it to fit their own ideas.

 

 

So far all the Mad Max films were distinct, they did something new every time with the world, visuals and setpieces. This just looks like Fury Road again.

Yeah, I kind of have to put my faith in George Miller that he has something interesting to say, and a good reason for making such a direct prequel to another film. The trailer looks like more Fury Road, but I don't put much stock in trailers. As with every film that comes out, I hope it's amazing.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,534]

One minute thirty seconds: are they sure this isn't PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK? 

[Giftheck 916]

I honestly forgot this movie was being made, but given the way WB has gone, I also wouldn't be surprised if its release is cancelled as a tax write-off.

[JNHFan2000 2,966]

That really looks fantastic!

 

Fury Road is one of my favorite films ever, so at first I was sad that a sequel was made without Theron because she was the best thing in that film.

And I kinda still feel that way, but this just looks really good!!

Noticed that too. Definitely looks like Fury Road 2.0, right down to the character designs.

 

I loved the way all 3 original Mad Max films looked totally distinct from one another.

I'm with ya! Adore the first film (and score), and looking tremendously forward to this.

[GerateWohl 4,370]

Looks like they merged Hardy's and Theron's characters and these Next Top Model's figures, they protected in the other movie, into one. 

Clever move. It saves dialogue time, that you can use then for motor car action.

Since these days you mostly like "smaller" scores. It's a surprise to see you adore the score by Holkenborg so much.

What are your favorite aspects of the score?

Just the sheer, unadulterated energy. The film is not only one long car chase, it's also one long heavy metal music video, really, and the music responds to that (and as a Rammstein super fan, that warms my heart). But then also takes things down now and then, with these glorious, sweeping, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA-like cues (like "Many Mothers"). Such a visionary attitude, all in all. But the album was too long, so I've whittled it down to a 39-minute program that works like gangbusters!

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

But do gangbusters really work that well?

[Thor 7,508]

I don't really know what gangbusters is.

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

I didn't either, until I googled it.

I doubt Theron is going to work with Hardy again.

 

New trailer looks promising. Very much looking forward to this.

[Jay 37,369]

OK I don't know anything about off-screen drama, but I still think its weird it took Miller 9 years to make any followup, Hardy or Taylor Joy or otherwise

[Edmilson 7,466]

I'm not sure, I'm not that interested in prequels (with a few exceptions) and I hated Junkie XL's score for the previous movie so I can only imagine he'll double down on drums and horns of doom (all 450 of them).

Well we live in a world where it took James Cameron 13 years to release Avatar 2 which was even more of a sure thing. 

 

I definitely would have expected in 2015 to have had another Mad Max before now but also it never surprises me when things do or don't happen in show business. 

[Bellosh 3,419]

really cool trailer.  im stoked.  the trailer music was great too.  love that little flourish for the title at the end

Would you share your program with us, Thor? This is a score where I definitely agree with whittling it down for album.  But I do remember liking some elements of it in the film.

[Thor 7,508]

Sure.
