Mad Max prequel Furiosa to be filmed in NSW

Cars have always played a crucial role in the Mad Max films with Fury Road taking post-apocalyptic vehicular design to the next level, with all 88 designs hand-built for the film and completely drivable. More than half of them were destroyed during the filming too.

So what will Furiosa hold in terms of Aussie post-apocalyptic vehicular design? Well, we will have to wait unfortunately with co-writer, director and producer George Millar keeping the storyline and cars close to his chest.

Furiosa is set to star Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor-Joy and Yahya Abdul Mateen II joined George Miller and Doug Mitchell in Sydney where it was announced that filming will begin in June 2021. 

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said securing the production of Furiosa in NSW was an important win for the state and the film industry.

“This is great news for NSW – Furiosa is expected to support more than 850 local jobs and bring in around $350 million into the NSW economy,” Ms Berejiklian said.

On our wish list for Aussie cars to feature in the film include:
