Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy attended the ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga‘ Photocall at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival in France on (Wednesday) May 15, 2024. Tom Burke, director George Miller, and producer Doug Mitchell also attended the Photocall and the special press interview.
The press and photocall took place one day after the world premiere of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ at Cannes. The film received an 8-minute standing ovation after the screening.
During the press conference, Taylor-Joy remarked, “A film like Mad Max wouldn’t exist without the work of a great stunt team.”
Taylor-Joy asked, “Do you have more Mad Max in you, George?”
To which Miller replied, “I’ll definitely wait to see how this goes before thinking about it.”
Following the screening, the film debuts with a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is incredible, with Miller paving Fury Road with equal parts tragedy and spectacle. He distances himself tonally from its predecessor with a darker, more violent, and twisted prequel—but no less astonishing—that expands everything we thought we knew about Furiosa.
Directed by Miller from a script he co-wrote with Nico Lathouris, his co-writer from ‘Mad Max: Fury Road.’ The film stars Taylor-Joy as Imperator Furiosa, Hemsworth as Warlord Dementus, Burke as Praetorian Jack, Nathan Jones as Rictus Erectus, Lachy Hulme as Immortan Joe/Rizzdale Pell, John Howard as The People Eater, Angus Sampson, and Quaden Bayles.
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.
Presented by Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Village Roadshow Pictures and produced by Kennedy Miller Mitchell. It will hit theaters worldwide on May 24, 2024 (May 22, 2024, internationally). (Watch the trailer)
