Starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, the film continues Miller’s dystopian “Mad Max” franchise and tells the origin story of Furiosa, a character he played through Charlize Theron in the 2015 blockbuster “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Was presented.

“You can’t anticipate the end result. You can theorize about it all you want, but as you go through the process, slowly, the pieces of the mosaic come together, and you end up with that film. The ending is something you hope for,” Miller told PTI in an interview.

Taylor-Joy steps in for Theron in the new film, which had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday and received a standing ovation for more than seven minutes. The film will be released globally on May 23.

The 79-year-old Australian-born filmmaker, widely regarded as one of the most original and versatile directors working today, said that with “Fury Road” he wanted to create an ongoing story that would include Mel Gibson’s All previous stories from the previous three films starring “Mad Max” (1979), “Mad Max 2” (1981) and “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” (1985) are also included.

Miller, also known for “Babe,” the animated film “Happy Feet” and “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” said he decided to reboot the franchise in 2015 because “the tools of filmmaking in the digital age are quite different”.

“I thought you could do things you could never do before,” he said. He said he wanted to create something where the conflict is human because “most stories are allegorical and somehow interact with the zeitgeist”.

“In this case, it was five wives, who were basically, as has often been the case in history, the breeding stock of Immortan Joe, a tyrannical man who sat at the top of the dominance hierarchy with all the wealth of the wasteland. Most The important currency is water and finding heirs is a story told again and again in all cultures throughout history.”

The filmmaker said that Furiosa was born from the idea of ​​a female savior who would save these five wives from Immortan Joe.

“If it was a male warrior who was carrying them, that’s a completely different story than a woman. So that’s who gave birth to Furiosa. Then, we had to go into her background. Where did she get them? She’s taking them to the place that was once her home, the place called the Green Place of Many Mothers…”

The new film will feature Furiosa’s childhood and how she is snatched from her home at a young age and struggles to get back.

Miller said both “Fury Road” and “Furiosa” play in different ways because their action is always based on storytelling.

“The idea is not a game where you’re trying to get yourself to the top. You always go back to the unfolding of the story, the dynamics of the story, and that will tell you the best way to present each sequence or events. So it’s not saying, ‘Oh, let’s make another action movie and put the action on top of what we’re doing.’ It’s always story-driven.”

While “Fury Road” featured long set pieces with action in real time, “Furiosa” features scenes that span from an 18-year-old being taken away from home to her becoming Furiosa, a road warrior .

“It has a different rhythm to it. If it were music, a symphony, it would have different structures as it is… It’s always the story that defines what you’re going to do.”

Stories of conflict between Theron and her “Fury Road” co-star Tom Hardy are now part of film lore, with both actors later acknowledging the tension and even Miller talking about it in interviews Is.

In the case of “Furiosa,” Miller has nothing but praise for Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth and believes that despite his aquiline nose, the “Thor” star’s Dementus is “still very handsome.”

The director admitted that it was “weird” to see his actors in reality after watching them play their characters.

“It’s a timeless story in many ways. It’s a story that, although set in the future, goes back to the attitudes of the past… but it’s also about our times, so the characters are not just contemporary “Possibly.”

That said, Taylor-Joy has her own mystery and steadfast quality.

“He’s capable of being fierce whenever he needs to be.”

According to Miller, Hemsworth, who plays the charismatic leader of a crazed mob of bikers, has a similar talent himself.

“As a human being, he’s very layered and intelligent for a relatively young person and he brings that not only to his life, but also to his work. His understanding of the story was very deep and he explained all of the below. Understand the layers, as Anya did.

“They were interesting collaborators and came up with wonderful ideas because in this story, they both had to be worthy of each other as adversaries. And all of that, I’m happy to say, came out in the process of making Tha film,” Miller said.

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and released in India in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
