When the world falls, young Furiosa is kidnapped from the Green Place of Many Mothers. He falls into the hands of the powerful Biker Horde, led by the warlord Dementus. After crossing the Wasteland, the kidnappers reach the Citadel, where Eternal Joe rules. Two tyrants begin to fight for power, and Furiosa must survive many trials while gathering the resources that will allow her to return home – reads the official description of the film “Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga”, i.e. a return to the iconic dystopian world created by George Miller over 30 years ago in the “Mad Max” films.
The new installment of the series is an original and stand-alone adventure, showing the beginnings of the fearless character played by Charlize Theron in the film “Mad Max: Fury Road”.
The production of “Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga” has been delayed due to legal disputes. Miller considered having Theron reprise the role of Furiosa, but this would require her digital rejuvenation, which discouraged the director. He is of the opinion that until technology allows for a fully reliable reconstruction of the human face, there is no point in using it.
“For a long time I thought that we would be able to use a computerized technique of rejuvenating actors and apply it to Charlize. However, I don’t think we are close to a fully believable effect of such a transformation. Despite the brave attempts in ‘The Irishman,’ it is completely uncharted territory. Everyone is “We are close to solving the problems related to this, especially the Japanese. However, I believe that we still have a long way to go,” Miller said.
Ultimately, she got the main role Anya Taylor-Joy. He was her partner in the film Chris Hemsworth.
“Furiosa” did not live up to expectations and did not repeat the success of “Fury Road”. The latter film grossed over $370 million in theaters.
George Miller’s new work had to settle for $160 million, which was eight million less than its budget.
The financial failure convinced the producers that it was worth quickly introducing the film to streaming and making money from it this way.
There is even a first release date for “Furiosa” on VOD on Amazon – June 24. And although it was quickly removed, it is certain that the film will appear on streaming in the next few days.
