‘Mission: Impossible’ Helmer Christopher McQuarrie, ‘Mad Max 2’ Headline BFI, London Action Festival Partnership (EXCLUSIVE)
BFI partners with London Action Festival for Art of Action season, featuring John Frankenheimer's 'The Train' and George Miller's 'Mad Max 2.'
The 1982 post-apocalyptic thriller will be accompanied by a special contribution from Miller himself, along with an in-person appearance by “Mad Max: Fury Road” producer Iain Smith. The London Action Festival’s screening series has previously hosted sold-out events including “Die Hard” in 2022, where director John McTiernan settled the debate on whether his film qualifies as a Christmas movie (it does), and “The Italian Job” in 2023, which saw audiences donning English soccer attire while a jazz quartet performed “The Self-Preservation Society.” “Christopher McQuarrie and Eddie Hamilton are not just incredible filmmakers, but both passionate and eloquent in equal measure about the subject of cinema,” says London Action Festival co-founder Julian Alcantara.
