One of Entertainment Weekly's Best Books of 2022! "New York Times
journalist Kyle Buchanan details the bonkers construction of
director George Miller's long-awaited and often seemingly-doomed
fourth Mad Max movie via testimony from the filmmaker, Charlize
Theron, Tom Hardy, and a host of others. The result is an epic and
- when it comes to the Theron-Hardy on-set relationship -
acrimonious tale no less jaw-dropping than the movie itself." -
Entertainment Weekly A full-speed-ahead oral history of the nearly
two-decade making of the cultural phenomenon Mad Max: Fury
Road-with more than 130 new interviews with key members of the cast
and crew, including Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, and director George
Miller, from the pop culture reporter for The New York Times, Kyle
Buchanan. It won six Oscars and has been hailed as the greatest
action film ever, but it is a miracle Mad Max: Fury Road ever made
it to the screen... or that anybody survived the production. The
story of this modern classic spanned nearly two decades of wild
obstacles as visionary director George Miller tried to mount one of
the most difficult shoots in Hollywood history. Production stalled
several times, stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron clashed
repeatedly in the brutal Namib Desert, and Miller's crew engineered
death-defying action scenes that were among the most dangerous ever
committed to film. Even accomplished Hollywood figures are
flummoxed by the accomplishment: As the director Steven Soderbergh
has said, "I don't understand how they're not still shooting that
film, and I don't understand how hundreds of people aren't dead."
Kyle Buchanan takes readers through every step of that moviemaking
experience in vivid detail, from Fury Road's unexpected origins
through its outlandish casting process to the big-studio battles
that nearly mutilated a masterpiece. But he takes the deepest dive
in reporting the astonishing facts behind a shoot so unconventional
that the film's fantasy world began to bleed into the real lives of
its cast and crew. As they fought and endured in a wasteland of
their own, the only way forward was to have faith in their
director's mad vision. But how could Miller persevere when almost
everything seemed to be stacked against him? With hundreds of
exclusive interviews and details about the making of Fury Road,
readers will be left with one undeniable conclusion: There has
never been a movie so drenched in sweat, so forged by fire, and so
epic in scope.
