The studio hasn&#8217;t disclosed why the drama&#8217;s distribution has been delayed for nearly a year, however.<\/p>\n<p>George Miller, who co-wrote and directed the six-time Oscar-winning <em><strong>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong><\/em>, has returned to the popular sci-fi adventure series, which he launched with the original 1979 dystopian thriller, <em><strong>Mad Max<\/strong><\/em>, starring Mel Gibson in the tile role. The filmmaker also served as a co-scribe with Doug Mitchell, and is helming, <em><strong>Furiosa<\/strong><\/em>, which features Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role that was first played by Charlize Theron in its 2015 predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>The Emmy Award-nominated Taylor-Joy will be joined by Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on screen in the movie.

The prequel is expected to be the biggest film production to ever take place in Australia, even beating the grandeur of the one-and-a-half-year shoot of <em><strong>Fury Road<\/strong><\/em> from 2012 through 2013. The origin story will reportedly inject at least $350M AUD into the local economy and create 850 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Since the production <em><strong>Furiosa<\/strong><\/em> was announced, the\u00a0 details of its plot have remained under wraps. But Miller teased to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/max-max-furiosa-structured-differently-fury-road-george-miller\">IGN<\/a> this pas April that the drama&#8217;s structure will be very different from the structure of <strong><em>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Miller also recently revealed in the latest edition of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/movies\/news\/george-miller-cast-anya-taylor-joy-furiosa-after-seeing-last-night-in-soho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Empire magazine<\/a> that he decided to cast Taylor-Joy as Furiosa after fellow filmmaker Edgar Wright screened him an early cut of his latest movie, <strong><em>Last Night in Soho<\/em><\/strong>. The psychological horror movie also stars the Golden Globe Award-winning actress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d known about Anya but I&#8217;d never seen her in a film until I saw her in <em><strong>Soho<\/strong><\/em>,&#8221; Miller told Wright during their conversation for Empire. &#8220;And I remember thinking, &#8216;Gee, she&#8217;s interesting.&#8217; I started to say to you, &#8216;I&#8217;m looking for someone to cast as Furiosa,&#8217; and I barely got the sentence out before you said, &#8216;Don\u2019t go any further, she&#8217;s great, she&#8217;s gonna be huge. She&#8217;s fantastic to work with.&#8217; You were so emphatic about it,&#8221; Miller shared.<\/p>\n<p>So Miller then contacted Taylor-Joy and asked her to audition for the <em><strong>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/strong><\/em> prequel virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. &#8220;I said to her, &#8216;I&#8217;d like you to do a very simple test, which is read something to camera,'&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;And it was the speech from &#8216;Network.&#8217; The &#8216;I&#8217;m mad as hell&#8217; speech&#8230;Anya did one version, which was really good. Then I gave her just a couple of simple notes about intention and she just absolutely nailed [it].<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I sent it to the studio.
