Accuracy
Mad Max became the hit that defined Miller’s career despite its tough production process.
Furiosa is a sprawling, picaresque saga set over 15 years and follows Furiosa as she’s kidnapped from her homeland by a biker warlord named Dementus and seeks vengeance against her kidnappers.
Fury Road is set around a mountainous fortress called the Citadel, run by a chalk-faced mutant named Immortan Joe who controls his populace by pumping water from the ground and warning them not to become addicted to it.
Furiosa takes its time and soaks in the details of Miller’s world, unlike Fury Road which is basically a jailbreak movie.
Production designer Colin Gibson went to Australia to retrieve old vehicles from the set of ‘Fury Road’ for use in ‘Furiosa’, including the War Rig and Gigahorse.
