One of Entertainment Weekly's Best Books of 2022! 'New York Timesjournalist Kyle Buchanan details the bonkers construction of directorGeorge Miller'slong-awaited and often seemingly-doomed fourthMad Maxmovie 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 WeeklyA full-speed-ahead oral history of the nearly two-decade making of the cultural phenomenon Mad Max: Fury Roadwith 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 Millers 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 dont understand how theyre not still shooting that film, and I dont understand how hundreds of people arent dead.Kyle Buchanan takes readers through every step of that moviemaking experience in vivid detail, from Fury Roads 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 films 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 directors 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.
