Furiosa may be one of this year's most hotly anticipated releases, but the wheels started turning on the Mad Max prequel long before even action classic Fury Road roared into cinemas.
"So Furiosa was ready, in a story sense, 15 years ago" Doug Mitchell tells Total Film in our new issue out on Thursday April 25, which features Furiosa on the cover. "And it’s been percolating, the way things do in George’s brain, ever since."
"We had finished the script of Furiosa before we shot Fury Road," Miller confirms over Zoom from Sydney.
It's certainly been a long road to get here. At one point, Furiosa was envisioned as an anime project, then titled The Peach, and was set to be directed by Mahiro Maeda, whose fingerprints have touched everything from '90s classic Neon Genesis Evangelion to Studio Ghibli, and one of the short films in The Animatrix.
Over a decade on, it's almost here. Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the the titular warrior fighting through the Wasteland. She is joined in the cast of the Fury Road spin-off by Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is released in cinemas on May 24. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the new issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, April 25.

The franchise features an incredible variety of antagonists, but one particularly strange detail regarding a group of villains has gone mostly unremarked upon for decades. Although recent titles have tended towards having more individual true villains, a trend that has produced some of ’s most terrifying characters, the traditional «Team» still has a role to play in any given region. However, while all Teams have their own unique aesthetic, one also has a much more subtle, and ironic, quirk visible on close examination.
Despite having a packed roster of projects in the works, Marvel Studios faced another setback as they were forced to scrap yet another project. A planned series featuring a fresh character was reportedly axed, allegedly due to the poor reception of another film.
Fallout games have never really been put together particularly well, but that's what gives them a lot of their charm. Would Fallout New Vegas really be the same game if Doc Brown's head didn't creepily spin around from time to time, or if bodies didn't clip into the ground slightly and result in a horribly malformed ragdoll of a human being? Basically, they're very buggy, which makes the fact that Fallout 3's sunlight has been secretly broken ever since launch not all that surprising.
