You’re like, Come on, it’s midnight and we want to go home.Įventually, veteran producer Denise Di Novi was dispatched to Namibia to mediate the conflict between the film’s two stars.Ĭharlize Theron: I don’t want to rehash things, but it came out of a really bad moment where things kind of came to blows between me and Tom. Tom Clapham (production runner, Fury Road) : Tom was more in his trailer a lot of the time and would come out for the takes-and sometimes not on time, either. Matt Taylor (stunt driver, Fury Road ): And when you’ve got someone like Tom who’s a larrikin and is late and very Method in his performances, just in sheer personality, there was always going to be a clash. Sometimes I would just call her and say, “We’re going to be ready in an hour,” and I knew she would always get in the car, get her makeup on, and get on set. Samantha McGrady (key second assistant director, Fury Road) : Charlize is the easiest person to deal with in terms of, Okay, we’re ready. Mark Goellnicht (camera operator, Fury Road ): Between Tom and Charlize, it was literally the most contrast I’ve ever seen between two actors. Let’s be nice to each other.” We were functioning, in a weird way, like our characters: Everything was about survival. Which, weirdly, is why the film works: It’s all pouring out on the screen.Ĭharlize Theron: Because of my own fear, we were putting up walls to protect ourselves instead of saying to each other, “Fuck, this is scary for you and it’s scary for me, too. They’re both powerhouses, but in their very different ways of working. Charlize is cerebral and very consistent in the way that she approaches a character. Kelly Marcel (screenwriter and friend of Tom Hardy): Tom is very physical and all over the place and would try very different things. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (“The Splendid Angharad”): It was very interesting to sit in a truck for four months with Tom and Charlize, who have completely different approaches to their craft.
In the exclusive excerpt below, the film’s cast and crew recall one of Fury Road’ s biggest hurdles: the bad blood between stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy.

#MAD MAX FURY ROAD CAST AND CHARACTERS UPDATE#
IndieWire will continue to update the list as breaking news around the project is announced.Mad Max: Fury Road was a critical and commercial triumph, grossing nearly $375 million worldwide and earning 10 Oscar nominations (with six wins). Production won’t start until next year, but there’s a lot to get excited about right now in regards to “Furiosa.” Our rundown below includes every detail we know about “Furiosa” so far. The future of “Mad Max” looked bright after “Fury Road” thanks to Theron and Furiosa, but Miller is choosing instead to continue the franchise by rewinding the clock for a prequel about everyone’s favorite Imperator. “Initially unyielding in her toughness, steady revelations finally let Max - and the audience - into her deep emotional reserves, with Theron marrying Furiosa’s toughness and smarts with an unshakable sense of nostalgia and destiny.” “Furiosa is the real hero of the story, armed with not only intelligence and grit, but serious skill behind the wheel of a war rig,” IndieWire’s Kate Erbland wrote of the character. IndieWire named Charlize Theron’s performance as Furiosa the ninth best of the decade. It didn’t take long for the character to join Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley from the “Alien” franchise or Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor from “The Terminator” films as one of cinema’s most definitive action heroines. George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” is widely considered one of the greatest action movies ever made (the film ranked ninth on IndieWire’s list of the 100 best films of the 2010s), and a big reason why is Imperator Furiosa.
