His films have touched the hearts of moviegoers around the world. Having directed all five Mad Max films, fan favourites Babe and Babe: Pig in the City, The Witches of Eastwick and having won an Academy Award for Happy Feet, George Miller is a Filmmaker of incredible range. His ability to tell a story in his writing and directing still with laser-precision at 79-years-old.
The Australian helmer made a rare appearance in Toronto with the red carpet rolled out at Scotiabank Theatre for the Canadian Premiere of FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA, the latest in the celebrated franchise which already has won universal acclaim and also a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes. Starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, its story focuses on a young Imperator Furiosa (Taylor-Joy), abducted from her homeland and summoning all her strength in the name of survival and a promise of revenge.
Miller was a great sport walking the Black Carpet, speaking to several Canadian outlets, followed by an. introduction on-stage with CBC‘s Tom Power, before the first audience in the country to see the Film. The theatre was transformed into a stylish wasteland as War Boys inspired by those seen in the Film.
