‘Furiosa’ Fires Up Cannes With 6-Minute Standing Ovation for Anya Taylor-Joy and Teary Chris Hemsworth
George Miller's 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,' starring Anya Taylor-Joy, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and earned a six-minute standing ovation.
Taylor-Joy kept sticking her tongue out at the cameras, while Hemsworth looked to be in great spirits in a dashing white tuxedo jacket that violated the strict Cannes dress code (he left his bow tie back in Australia). The fifth installment of the “Mad Max” franchise opens in theaters on May 24 in the United States from Warner Bros., which is hoping the film will match (or exceed) the $380 global box office of “Fury Road.” With a budget of $168 million, “Furiosa” will need to do big business to turn a profit. Beyond Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth, the film also stars Alyla Browne, Tom Burke, Lachy Hulme, Goran D. Kleut, Nathan Jones, Josh Helman, John Howard, Angus Sampson, Charlee Fraser, Quaden Bayles andDaniel Webber.
