We reported last month that ‘Furiosa’ is set to start filming in mid-March and wrap in June. That meant a lengthy 3.5 month shoot for the film.
Now, according to IMDb, the budget is said to be $168 Million. The cost of “Mad Max: Fury Road” was around the same, with estimations ranging between $154-185 million.
Taking on Charlize Theron’s role of Furiosa will be Anya Taylor-Joy. Joining her in the cast are Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in unspecified roles.
Details about the plot are still unknown, but this ‘Furiosa’ prequel will focus on the early days of the character, and how she grew to be the war captain under Immortan Joe.
As written in January, “Mad Max: Fury Road” topped our critics poll of 2010s Best Movies. Over 300 critics participated in the survey and, really, this kickstarted the film’s total domination of decade lists for the rest of the year, including also topping the AV Club, Consequence of Sound, Film School Rejects, and Paste lists.
