“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”

George Miller continues his Mad Max franchise, with Anya Taylor-Joy taking on the lead role of Furiosa. Chris Hemsworth plays Dementus, the main villain. Nick Lathouris and Miller wrote the screenplay Miller directed.

Furiosa’s Origin Story

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga follows the original story of renegade warrior Furiosa before she teamed up with Mad Max in Fury Road. Mad Max fans are sure to get their fill in this latest installment.

Dementus and Immortan Joe

Dementus is a warlord in the Wasteland. The deaths of this family shattered him, which explains his rage, instability, and fixation with power. He tries to manipulate Furiosa, claiming he can protect her or strengthen her. Still, the story shows he uses that as a reason for violence and possession.

Immortan Joe has military experience, which helped him rise to power after civilization collapsed. He captured the Citadel and established it as the core of his empire in the wasteland. His ultimate goals are domination, legacy, and survival. Joe has radiation sickness, which has caused him to obsess over creating a healthy heir. Dementus and he battle for control of the Citadel, Gastown, and the Bullet Farm.

Action and Visual Style

Miller orchestrates the action as large-scale, composed set pieces that deliver an epic and kinetic experience. The film’s visual design uses dramatic landscapes, emotional lighting, and striking imagery to create a mythical post-apocalyptic world.

“The Fall Guy” Trailers, Clips and Featurette, Poster

Inspired by the 1980s hit TV series, real stuntman and director David Leitch helms an all-star cast in The Fall Guy. We follow a stuntman, played by Ryan Gosling, who, like everyone in the stunt community, gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment.

And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life, played by Emily Blunt, while still doing his day job.

Leitch is the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night. The Fall Guy is his most personal film because he’s an original stuntman. It’s his love letter to the under-appreciated crew in this supposedly hilarious, hard-driving, apex-action thriller.

Gosling stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who left the business a year earlier to focus on his physical and mental health. He is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Blunt, goes missing.

While the film’s ruthless producer, played by Hannah Waddingham, maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while futilely trying to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces.

But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt becomes entangled in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.

The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke and Stephanie Hsu.
