Furiosa Set to Begin Filming in March



Things are finally gearing up for the upcoming post-apocalypse prequel, Mad Max: Furiosa, with filming reportedly set to begin from as early as March. The New Daily, a publication based in Australia where production on Furiosa will take place, has reported that businesses in New South Wales are preparing for a busy period as “entire caravan parks, Airbnbs and hotels have been visited by location producers and many have been booked.”

The report goes on to state that “businesses from the Murrumbidgee River to outback towns around Broken Hill” are looking forward to a huge financial injection following the struggle caused by the ongoing global circumstances, with production hoping to begin filming on Mad Max: Furiosa, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, from mid-March to June.

Mad Max: Furiosa is expected to be the biggest movie ever made in Australia, with Screen NSW previously describing the monumental production as an “important win” for the state as well as the wider film industry. “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,” their statement last year read.

Furiosa will follow the titular rebel warrior, who was introduced to audiences in 2015’s stellar action flick Mad Max: Fury Road. The prequel will explore the origin of the character long before she became the inspiring operator of Immortan Joe’s War Rig and joined forces with Tom Hardy’s Mad Max Rockatansky. George Miller is returning to co-write, direct and produce the project alongside his longtime Oscar-nominated producing partner Doug Mitchell, with the story set to span many years

“I didn’t set out to make a big, epic movie,” Miller said in April last year. “It’s a story I wanted to tell. But as it turns out, it’s just got a lot of different scenes. The one thing I can say about it is, Fury Road happened over three days and two nights, but this is a saga. It happens over many years. So there’s a lot of different elements to it.”

Due to the prequel approach, The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy will step into the role in place of Charlize Theron. “The first thing that went through my head when I found out I was going to do it was,’ I am so excited to work so hard,’ ” Taylor-Joy said of taking over the role. “The level of commitment that has been shown before me, I endeavor to match that, and that makes me really excited.”

Anya Taylor-Joy will be joined by Marvel star Chris Hemsworth, who could not be more excited to join a franchise that has meant so much to him throughout his life. “Pretty damn fired up to be a part of a franchise that meant the world to me as a kid growing up in Australia,” Hemsworth said of entering the world of Mad Max.

“The fact that I’ll have the honor of not only being directed by its original visionary in George Miller but also take part in Furiosa’s origin story is incredibly exciting. Huge respect to George, Mel, Charlize, Tom and all the cast and crew who helped build this epic world. I’ll do my best to continue the tradition of cinematic badassery.”

Sadly, audiences are going to have wait a little longer for Mad Max: Furiosa, as the project has now been delayed from a release date of June 23, 2023, to May 24, 2024.
