Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is set to make its debut in the United States in less than two weeks, showcasing the captivating transformation of Imperator Furiosa from a vulnerable child to a fierce warrior. The role of the younger Furiosa is portrayed by Australian actress Alyla Browne, known for her recent work in the film Sting directed by Kiah Roach-Turner.
Reflecting on her experience during the world premiere at Cannes, the 14-year-old Browne expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work on George Miller's epic production, describing it as an 'absolutely insane' experience. She acknowledged the privilege of collaborating with a talented cast, emphasizing the remarkable nature of the project.
Browne has built an impressive portfolio in a short span, featuring roles alongside industry veterans such as Nicole Kidman and Sigourney Weaver. Her encounter with George Miller on the set of Three Thousand Years of Longing led to her selection for the role of young Furiosa, with Miller noting her resemblance to the character during a unique moment of inspiration.
Following a virtual meeting with Miller, Browne swiftly secured the role in Furiosa, underscoring Miller's visionary approach to casting. The film also stars notable actors like Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke, promising a captivating post-apocalyptic narrative that aligns with Browne's personal interests.
Despite the film's R rating, Browne has already viewed it, expressing her enthusiasm for being part of such a significant project. Early reviews have lauded Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga as a 'visceral triumph' and 'epic in every sense of the word,' setting high expectations for its nationwide release on May 24, 2024.
