Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (yes that's the subtitle) | May 24, 2024 | Anya Taylor-Joy is Furiosa + Chris Hemsworth

[TMP]

 

[TLK]

Anya Taylor-Joy doesn't work as a young Charlize. They must be casting her for a different role.

Great to see John Seale is returning. Expected him to retire again after Fury Road. The same production designer returning is also great. I assume Margaret Sixel is returning too (cuz she married to Miller).

Do they really need to use a lot of CGI to make Theron look like she's in her 20s? She's playing 30 year olds in the movies she stars in right now. They won't need anywhere close to the amount of deaging CGI used in The Irishman and MCU movies.

 

But if they're casting someone else, I wouldn't mind Samara Weaving (who's also Aussie).

Charlize is South African not Aussie

I think he's talking about George Miller and the franchise's Aussie roots

Is responsible for MMFR success.

Is replaced by a younger actress.

Bravo Hollywood. (sarcasm)

I doubt Theron can play a character in the mid-50s lol. And she wasn't completely responsible for Fury Road's success.

[Valonqar]

Theron isn't completely responsible, of course, but she was a very big part of the success.  And she is right to voice her true feelings about it. If she was hoping to get her own franchise, she very well deserved it but WB gave it to a younger actress. It's a bad look, no matter what their excuse is and no matter what talent their got for the part. It's a bad look. No way around it. 

[JGAR4LIFE]

This should’ve come out around 2017/2018 when Fury Road was fresh in people’s minds

 

Why can’t they just go ahead with the Mad Mad sequel?

[Valonqar]

Actors too old.

"Bad look" just means that you're more concerned with how something looks (to you) than with what it is. This entire series is Miller's baby, not WB's or Theron's, and he has the right to take any risk with it he's interested in taking. (Lord knows it's paid off in the past.) If he succeeds in this case we might get another Brando/De Niro pair of iconic performances of the same character, or at the very least another case of Gibson/Hardy. If he doesn't, sucks for him (and for whoever he'll have cast) but Theron's performance will remain untarnished. But this "tsk tsk but she deserved a franchise!" finger-wagging ffs cry me a fucking river.

A big downgrade from Madden tbh. It's not like I don't like Hemsworth. He seems like a good dude but I find him to be very middle of the road.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Is Hemsworth even true? Jeff Sneider suggested that name last week on his youtube show based off character description and the director preference to cast Australians.

That's kind of the bummer about being so tuned into movie news. I saw this in my inbox and went "Well yeah I thought we knew?"

 

but YAY YAHYA.

[MOVIEGUY]

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.
