Giorgio Miller is in production Mad Max: Furiouswhich is a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road which focuses on the tough character Furiosa. We don’t know what the future holds for the franchise next, but Miller has already written another prequel story centered around Max Rocksteady.
Speaking with The AV Club, the director revealed: “We also wrote, not a script, but almost in the form of a novel, Nico Lathouris and me, what happened to Max that year before, and that’s something we’ll look at later on. But, in telling the story of Furiosa, everything inside Road of Fury it had to be explained. In my mind, I have a backstory of the Doof Warrior playing guitar. How can a blind man who all he can do is play a guitar, like he can survive in a wasteland where everyone is in extremis? How did it come to be there? So we wrote little stories for each character when we made it Road of Fury. “
Miller went on to talk about how Furiosa’s origin originated during production Road of Fury saying, “When we wrote Crazy Max, the task was to tell a story that was always on the run and see what the audience could catch glimpses of. That was one of the tricks of Mad Max: Fury Road, that there would be references to things where he came from, why they are doing things, but he was always on the run. There were very few quiet moments. We never explained how she lost her arm. We never explain what the current Green Place Of Many Mothers was. We have never explained how the Citadel works. So we had the practically complete script before shooting Road of Fury, and we did it because it was born from wanting to explain to everyone who Furiosa was, to Charlize when she took on the role, to all the actors, designers and everyone else who worked at the Citadel and so on. The feeling was, man, this is a pretty good script, and then I kept saying to myself, ‘if Road of Fury it works, I’d really like to tell this story. ‘”
And now he’s telling that story, and fans can’t wait to see it! There is a lot of hype about this film and I have no doubt that it will be just as badass as Fury Road.
Warner Bros. describes the film: “As the world has fallen, young Furiosa is kidnapped from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across in the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe.While the two Tyrants battle for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Mad Max: Furious will be released in theaters on May 24, 2024.
