Kerry D。,
A really fascinating and thorough look at the making of Mad Max: Fury Road。 I knew beforehand the production was fairly tumultuous, but didn't realize quite how insane things were。 It is truly a wonder that this beautiful film was made at all。The book covers all aspects of the production, with interviews with actors, stuntpeople, producers, crew, writers, critics, and more for a really full look of the decades it took to bring Fury Road to the screen (and the many, many stumbling blocks along th A really fascinating and thorough look at the making of Mad Max: Fury Road。 I knew beforehand the production was fairly tumultuous, but didn't realize quite how insane things were。 It is truly a wonder that this beautiful film was made at all。The book covers all aspects of the production, with interviews with actors, stuntpeople, producers, crew, writers, critics, and more for a really full look of the decades it took to bring Fury Road to the screen (and the many, many stumbling blocks along the way)。If I have one quibble, it's that much is made of the Tom Hardy/Charlize Theron tensions on set, and in skimming the sources it seems like most of Hardy's quotes from the book are taken from archival interviews rather than recent ones, which I wish had been made clearer。 I feel like that changes the narrative a little bit (though I'm sure he's the one who didn't want to talk about it much in present day)。A very fascinating read and if you enjoyed the film at all, there are so many amazing stories about the making of George Miller's masterpiece。 。。。more
Walker Iversen,
An inspiring oral history told with great love from the author, the artists, and the audience。 There's something here for everyone: the creativity of pre-production, the business journey of getting to screen after a 30-year gap, and the truth behind the Charlize/Tom feud。 An inspiring oral history told with great love from the author, the artists, and the audience。 There's something here for everyone: the creativity of pre-production, the business journey of getting to screen after a 30-year gap, and the truth behind the Charlize/Tom feud。 。。。more

If you're a die-hard Mad Max fan, curious about the aura surrounding Mad Max: Fury Road, or want a peek behind the Hollywood curtain, I highly recommend you check this out。It's a linear history about the Mad Max franchise and the kindhearted genius who created it told through interview snippets from the crew, cast, journalists, and major Hollywood players who are die-hard fans。 As a Fury Road lover who admittedly hasn't seen the previous four films, it was a fascinating, educational read。 It cle If you're a die-hard Mad Max fan, curious about the aura surrounding Mad Max: Fury Road, or want a peek behind the Hollywood curtain, I highly recommend you check this out。It's a linear history about the Mad Max franchise and the kindhearted genius who created it told through interview snippets from the crew, cast, journalists, and major Hollywood players who are die-hard fans。 As a Fury Road lover who admittedly hasn't seen the previous four films, it was a fascinating, educational read。 It clears up some misconceptions (the notorious bad blood between Theron and Hardy was largely because Hardy's deep commitment to method acting strained his relationship with the entire cast and crew。 not because Theron was difficult to work with - she was the opposite, actually), intriguing trivia (Eminem was briefly considered to play Max, and the short list also included Jeremy Renner and Armie Hammer!), and insight into the 10+ years that went into pre-production alone。It's a wild ride of a book and a smooth, well organized and enjoyable read。 Thank you so much to NetGalley and William Morrow for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review!Publication date: February 22, 2022⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5 。。。more
