I liked her in the VVitch, idk if I see her as Furiosa though. Also I won't believe this movie is actually happening until I'm watching it.

The cast for this is already coming together so unless there's a major development that would require it to be shutdown it's definitely happening. Guessing it'll shoot next year and then maybe go for a Cannes 2023 launch right before releasing like Fury Road did.

lol yeah but you know what I mean. This project is finally becoming a reality now.

 

Also it's been fun watching Yahya take over Hollywood seemingly overnight with all these big projects and winning an Emmy. Everyone wants to be in the business with him. You know he's also Disney's #1 choice for the voice of Young Mufasa in that Barry Jenkins Lion King prequel/sequel thing too.

They're clearly looking at a starry Cannes bow as a launching pad to build buzz over the course of a month with this release date choice.

I thought this would flop w/o Charlize but Anya in The Queen's Gambit converted me. What a natural star charisma! Yep this gonna be big.

Anya's gonna be Charlize's age when this actually drops lmao

I wonder if the recent IATSE news is the reason why this delay happened. If they strike, then Hollywood as a whole is likely going into a long coma. I could see this delay as Warner preparing for such an outcome.

I still think making a Mad Max prequel without Mad Max is going to blow up in their face. That being said, as much as this will flop, Anya Taylor Joy is a great casting choice

It feels a little early to push a film’s release date based on a potential strike. The strike authorization isn’t going to happen until beginning of October, and at this point no one knows when a strike would actually happen (hopefully it won’t and the threat of a strike plus support from the other major guilds is enough to get a decent new contract in place.)

This shit is already shooting lmao. They wanna pull a Maverick or what?
