Hitting the Fury Road: Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth go inside Furiosa, their full-throttle Mad Max prequel
EW – Witness this: On a bustling set at Quixote Studios in West Hollywood, just days before Oscars Sunday in March, cans of “guzzoline” are strewn about. What looks like a real missile lies on the floor, scrap metal is everywhere — including a wrecking ball and throwing spears — shades of red and orange light up a giant backdrop so bright you can almost feel the heat coming off of it, and the mechanical whirring of power tools reverberates in the distance.
This isn’t the set of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, though you’d be forgiven for thinking it could be. After all, stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth are here, and so is Furiosa’s car, Cranky Black, which is fittingly billowing angry smoke.
But some things are off. For starters, Hemsworth, 40, wants clarification on a shot because he admittedly knows nothing about the inner workings of cars — not ideal for anyone looking to survive the high-octane Wasteland of the apocalyptic Mad Max universe. Then there’s the fact that in between takes, Taylor-Joy, 28, and her costar joke around with goofy poses for the camera, a far cry, as Hemsworth points out, from the “definitely antagonistic” relationship between their characters, Furiosa and Dementus. As he puts it, “She’s trying to kill me this whole movie.”
