The release of “Furiosa”, the new chapter in George Miller’s “Mad Max” saga, is fast approaching, with its premiere scheduled for May 24 in cinemas.
The movie tells the story of the origins of a warrior played by Anya Taylor-Joyce. But as we know – and hope – Miller, as well as inventing a distant future, has always managed to heighten our fantasy as car fans with absurd vehicles hurtling at breakneck speed through the dunes of an unforgiving desert. And this time, too, expectations are starting to rise in line with the forecast. At least according to what Chris Hemsworth, one of the main actors in “Furiosa”, posted on social media.
“Thor” shared a photo from the film set and, although many noticed the long unkempt beard and scruffy look of his character, the villain Dementus. Not so much because of the shape, but because of the central engine, which evokes the bygone era of chopper models and threatens chaos and destruction as it passes by.
The process of creating such a vehicle must certainly have been a difficult task for Miller’s vehicle builders. But imagine for a moment, in that lonely desert, having to build such a metal monster. From the protection of the radial cylinders to the transmission layout, every detail of this chopper seems to have been built with care and attention, at least from this photo. We also know that George Miller doesn’t mess around with vehicles and that all the vehicles seen in the cult hit “Mad Max: Fury Road” were working, so we expect the same from this “radial chopper”, which will not – we hope, but we’re sure – only have an aesthetic role. At this point, however, we can’t help but wonder what an engine like this sounds like and we’d also like to know which skilled hand created this monster.
