locomax franchise Author George Miller knew this even before Fury road, which by creating an extensive outline for 2015 success, might have more stories to tell. But that wasn’t always the case for Miller, who co-created the concept with Byron Kennedy in locomax (1979), Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).

Hemsworth plays a truly heinous bad guy here, in a turn that thrilled Miller. “He had a lot of wisdom about everything: about himself, about the world, even about a story like this, where it’s a world in extremis, and about how people deal with all the moral harm that happens in this world,” he said. the director to Weekly entertainment about casting.
He continued, adding that Taylor-Joy was a great foil as Furiosa to Hemsworth’s brute baddie because the actress has “…definitely a mystique to her, but there’s also someone very, very determined about her.

The writers know what happened with Mad Max in that previous year, and we have a whole story of that, which I would like to do at some point if I get the chance.
For the legendary filmmaker, making these films was never part of a fully laid out plan.”Mad Max 2 It came about because of all the things I learned from Angry Max. “Not just how to make movies but, despite the difficulties I had making them, why it was so successful,” he said. “Why did the Japanese respond to it as a samurai movie? Why did the French call it Western on wheels? Why do the Scandinavians see it as a [película] lonely viking, and so on. And I realized that, without realizing it, we had tapped into some kind of archetype. Forty-five years later, the world he created is still developing in exciting ways for the director, and there could be even more to come.
