Refresh for more…Warner Bros‘ first big splash at its 2024 CinemaCon presentation was George Miller‘s Furiosa today.
Taking the stage were Miller, and stars Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth who were interviewed by Warner Bros co-Bosses Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy.
“To tell the story of Mad Max –we had to know where every vehicle, every character, every prop, every gesture came from. We wrote backstories of Furiosa overall these years and Mad Max the year before. When Fury Road had enough traction we figured we had to do Furiosa,” said Miller.
The trio showed off an extended first look today. We see Hemswroth’s Dementus, who something of white linen clad prophet. He’s brought a young Furiosa. They live in, natch, a radical world where we see Furiosa’s mother crucified. “I remember your face and your memory,” says Taylor-Joy’s Furiosa in what is a revenge tale. Lots of fire, lots of trucks, lots of loud in what appears even more attention to dystiopan desert landscapes, even more than the multi Oscar winning Mad Max Fury Road.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga world premieres at the Cannes Film Festival on May 15. Warner Bros then begins global rollout on May 22 before reaching North America on May 24.
As the world falls, young Furiosa (Taylor-Joy) is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus (Hemsworth). She will spend the rest of her life battling to get back home
