"Remember me?"
Warner Bros. has released the first clips from George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, highlighting what will likely be a couple of key sequences from the upcoming Fury Road prequel.
In the first clip, we see Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) take aim at Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), only to come to the realization that the wily warlord also has her in his sights. One rocket launcher blast later, and everyone appear to be down for the count.
The second sneak peek finds Dementus at the mercy of Furiosa. After commending her on her survival skills, the villain makes a grab for her boot knife and gets a gun-barrel in the face for his efforts.
Full reviews are still under embargo, but the social media responses have been highly positive so far. More press screenings take place next Friday, so be sure to check back for our reaction/review.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga arrives in theaters laster this month, and as the press tour kicks off in Sydney, Australia (you can check out some photos of stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth below), Warner Bros. has shared a tonne of new promotional material for George Miller's Fury Road prequel.
In addition to a new international poster and still, we have three action-packed TV spots.
The spots reuse some footage from the previous teasers, but there is also quite a bit of new stuff, including a face-off between Furiosa and Dementus in which the Dark Angel prepares to test the warlord's "high pain threshold."

“Furiosa,” George Miller’s prequel to his Oscar-winning “Mad Max: Fury Road,” will have its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Anya Taylor-Joy stars as the titular warrior in the epic saga that spans 15 years and charts the title character’s origin story. A young Furiosa is kidnapped from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth. As they trek across the Wasteland, the gang come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war over dominance, Furiosa faces many trials to find her way home. Oh yeah, and she’s definitely out to kill those who murdered her family.

Turns out, Anya Taylor-Joy has a shaved head in “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa.”
The “Queen’s Gambit” star recently told Empire magazine that director George Miller told her to not shave her head for the role; however, in the new trailer, a buzzed cut is boasted by the star, mirroring Charlize Theron’s look as Furiosa for “Fury Road.” Taylor-Joy is almost certainly sporting a wig in the film; we sure haven’t seen her growing back long locks in the time since.
“I feel very lucky that, from the second I read the script, I just knew this person. I felt so fiercely protective over Furiosa, and fiercely protective of her interests,” Taylor-Joy said of taking over the character from Theron. She also told IndieWire that “Furiosa” was the “dirtiest and the bloodiest” she’s ever been onscreen.
Much of that blood may be from Chris Hemsworth,...

The first official trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures’ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga confirms two important details. One, Anya Taylor-Joy looks totally badass as the titular character. And two, the long wait between Mad Max films has been worth it.
The two-and-a-half minute trailer’s loaded with gritty action, and Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller’s epic action thriller captures its predecessor’s vibe.
In addition to Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), the Fury Road prequel stars Chris Hemsworth, Alyla Browne, and Tom Burke. Miller co-wrote the screenplay with Mad Max: Fury Road‘s Nico Lathouris.
Miller reunites with production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, sound mixer Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan, and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt for Furiosa. His behind-the-scenes team also includes first assistant director Pj Voeten, second unit director, stunt coordinator Guy Norris, director of photography Simon Duggan, composer Tom Holkenborg, sound designer Robert Mackenzie,...

Director George Miller first thought of Mad Max’s world in black and white terms as far back as the production of The Road Warrior. Now, after the smash success of Mad Max: Fury Road, he has the freedom to explore what that world would really look like. Out today from Warner Home Entertainment is Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition, which you can obtain as a two-disc Blu-ray or find it included in the complete High Octane Collection.
The film is here in its entirety but has been carefully processed in black and white by Miller and chief colorist Eric Whipp. Max’s desolate world of the future looks even bleaker and less welcoming in two colors but, interestingly, the grays, the in-between tones actually allow you to assess characters and situations through fresh eyes.

There were a lot of genre film geeks last year who greatly looked forward to director George Miller’s long-awaited continuation of the Mad Max franchise in Mad Max: Fury Road. What many did not expect, however, was just how amazing the film turned out to be. While not exactly a classic tale, the story itself was just complicated enough to keep things interesting and the action moving, and amazing in its simplicity (It’s pretty much we want to go there, let’s drive, and we want to go back, let’s drive — with complications built in, of course).
More than anything, the plot made sure not to draw from the real star of the film: the visual effects. Mad Max: Fury Road became a testament of visual effects done well. So well were they, that many pointed to it as an example of why practical effects were so...

Now that rumors surrounding George Miller’s immediate future at the helm of Warner Bros.’ Mad Max franchise have been put to bed, the director has been reflecting on the one film that helped catapult the Road Warrior back into the zeitgeist: Mad Max: Fury Road.
With little over a month to go until the 2016 Academy Awards, of which Fury Road is up for 10 nominations, Miller himself spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the groundswell of love for the Doof Warrior and the anticipated black-and-white cut, which has now been confirmed to come bundled in a second DVD release of Mad Max: Fury Road.
Word of Warner Bros. double dipping is hardly surprising; Miller’s effects-heavy franchise revival was an expensive shoot, and one that didn’t exactly pull in the big bucks during its theatrical run. Now, said black-and-white cut – one which the director champions as the “best...

As his fans surely know, George Miller has said of his Oscar-contending "Mad Max: Fury Road" that "the best version of this movie is black and white." Indeed, this rendition has been cut and is ready to go, but if you bought the movie on Blu-ray in September, you did not find it there. According to the director, that's because Warner Bros. is planning a double dip release with more features coming, including the version Miller really wants you to see. Read More: Review: George Miller's 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Starring Charlize Theron & Tom Hardy "The best version of 'Fury Road' was what we called a 'slash dupe': a cheap, black-and-white version of the movie for the composer.

Few films in recent memory are quite as visually explosive as Mad Max: Fury Road, which makes any of the men and women behind its images an immediate point of interest. But for all the talent that’s on the screen, and for all the effort it must have taken to make that come through, cinematographer John Seale will tell you the process wasn’t always conducive to innovation — if only because George Miller and his team of confidantes had been waiting to go for so long.
This, I think, is all the more reason to sit down with the director of photography, whose enthusiasm for the project was so strong that it forced him out of retirement. Fury Road is being celebrated at Poland’s Camerimage International Film Festival — several months after its U.S. release, but not enough time for our curiosity about the picture to die down.

During the noisy, gasoline stenched build up to the release of "Mad Max: Fury Road" earlier this year, one curious tidbit that surfaced was that George Miller had an alternate, black-and-white cut of the film in the can. And even more, that it would be included in the home video release. "We spent a lot of time in Di (digital intermediate), and we had a very fine colorist, Eric Whipp. One thing I’ve noticed is that the default position for everyone is to de-saturate post-apocalyptic movies. There’s only two ways to go, make them black and white — the best version of this movie is black and white, but people reserve that for art movies now. The other version is to really go all-out on the color," Miller told Slashfilm in May. "The usual teal and orange thing? That’s all the colors we had to work with. The...

During the press junket madness surrounding George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road" came talk of an alternate, black-and-white cut of the film - one that Miller hoped to include in the home video release.
At the time, Miller said everyone did post-apocalyptic movies with de-saturated color so in order to differentiate this film he and colorist Eric Whipp could go two ways - full black and white, or over saturate and really hype up the film's color.
Miller ultimately chose the latter, but said the best version of the film is the black and white one and in fact had demanded Warners release the black and white cut on the Blu-ray along with an isolated audio score track.
Today, details have emerged about the U.K. release of the film over at Blu-ray.com (via The Playlist) and there is no mention of an alternate cut. The cut certainly does exist,...

There has been a lot of talk about the practical effects used for Mad Max: Fury Road, but not so much discussion about the visual effects in the film, which are also quite impressive. In fact, the most impressive thing about the marriage of practical and visual effects in the film is how unaware we are of them most of the time. Fury Road wasn't like a film such as Avengers: Age of Ultron or Transformers: Age of Extinction in that whole characters were CG creations. The hand-to-hand battles here were just that, hand-to-hand, and, for the most part, much of the environment seen in the film was pretty much exactly as it was on set. Well, at least in some ways... FX Guide has just posted an excellent piece on the totality of the digital effects in Fury Road, here's their introduction: But the intense Namibian shoot, and further filming in Sydney,...

Few summer blockbusters can hold a candle to the high-octane action pizzazz that is Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller’s sequel may have been a long time coming, and persevered through a series of trials and tribulations during filming, but the general consensus is that it was absolutely worth the wait, cramming in enough show-stopping set pieces to make a Michael Bay film seem like a Saturday cartoon by comparison.
But the genius behind Fury Road is that despite its eccentric, over-the-top sequences, each is as coherent as it is jaw-dropping, and it’s a testimony to Miller’s astute directing that the film is being hailed as a masterclass across the board. Strip away all of this, though, and you’ll soon find that Mad Max: Fury Road adopts an actions-speak-louder-than-words approach, but what if the little dialogue was taken out altogether?

Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the best action movie of this generation isn’t done making waves just yet. I saw director George Miller‘s de-saturated post-apocalyptic masterpiece in 3D (as it was my only option) and now that I’m hearing about an option on the Blu-ray release to watch it in black and white, I have to say I’m a little more than intrigued.
Speaking with /Film, Miller discussed a black and white cut of Fury Road that he says is the best version of the film:

John Seale was retired. Then George Miller dangled a "Mad Max" movie in front of his face and, well, how can an Aussie say no? The 40-year veteran jumped right into the maelstrom Miller and his team were conjuring in the desert of west Africa and, along with killer second unit teams, captured one of the most innervating experiences of the year in "Mad Max: Fury Road." Oh, and he turned 70 years old while doing all of this. Seale won an Oscar for "The English Patient," the first of a three-film collaboration with the late Anthony Minghella. He also partnered up with Peter Weir on a trio of projects ("Witness," "The Mosquito Coast" and "Dead Poets Society") and he's worked with many great filmmakers besides, from Sydney Pollack to Ron Howard, Rob Reiner to Wolfgang Petersen. In addition to the win, he has three more Oscar nominations to his credit and I must say,...
