“Mad Max: Fury Road” Prequel to be Biggest Movie Shot in Australia

"Mad Max: Fury Road" director George Miller is gearing up to start filming his new prequel movie "Furiosa" in Australia.

A press conference with director Miller and Chris Hemsworth in attendance took place in Australian state New South Wales Monday to confirm that the spin-off is preparing to film in the territory next year.

Miller is now in post-production on his romance movie "Three Thousand Years of Longing" and afterward will begin working on "Furiosa", which will also star "The Queen’s Gambit" actress Anya Taylor-Joy playing a younger version of Furiosa, who was played in Fury Road by Charlize Theron.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is also starring in "Furiosa" in an undisclosed role.

The filmmaker revealed that the movie will be a saga told over many years, as opposed to Fury Road, which took place in few days.

New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian tweeted on Twitter that Furiosa will be the largest film ever to be shot in New South Wales.
