Mad Max: Fury Road took home six awards over the course of the night, far surpassing any other film (its closest competitor was The Revenant, which earned just three). The last instalment in the Mad Max series, Fury Road, was supposed to be filmed around Broken Hill but unusual rainfall meant the landscape was too green and the film had to be relocated to Namibia in Africa.The biggest win of the evening may have gone to Spotlight, but it was another film entirely that really won this year's Oscars. "And there's no more iconic Australian franchise than Mad Max," he said. "Most importantly it reinforces NSW as the economic capital of Australia, but also, I believe, the cultural capital of Australia," she said.įederal Minister for Arts Paul Fletcher said Australia was experiencing a boom in the film industry thanks to the country's virtual elimination of COVID-19.Ī location incentive established by the federal government, worth $540 million over eight years, had brought 22 productions down under so far, Mr Fletcher said. Ms Berejiklian said the movie would create 850 local jobs and inject at least $350 million into the state's economy. Mr Mitchell concurred and said no other state could match the sum. "We are by far the most generous when it come to film investment." "The reality is, if you want to make a movie in Australia, you don't want to make it in Queensland, you want to make it in NSW," Mr Perrottet said.
NSW Treasurer Dom Perrottet said Furiosa was being partly paid for by the "Made in NSW" fund, which was worth $175 million per film over five years. Producer Doug Mitchell, actor Chris Hemsworth and director George Miller speak at Fox Studios in Sydney. The actor said the fact the film was being made on home soil was a huge driving factor for him signing on. "It's something I'm going to put my heart and soul into because it really is for me, out of everything I've done, the biggest pinch-myself moment because I've grown up watching it."
Hemsworth, who recently moved to Sydney from Byron Bay to film the new Thor movie, said like most Australians, he grew up watching Mad Max and felt a "lot of pressure" to do the franchise proud. The post-apocalyptic action film will be released in cinemas, unlike many which have gone straight to streaming services during COVID-19. "It means we are keeping the really brilliant talent here who previously went overseas." "This has always been our home, Sydney and NSW, and we have shot so much here," he said. The movie, starring Chris Hemsworth, is set to be the biggest to be made in NSW.ĭirector George Miller said the movie, titled Furiosa, would be released in mid-2023 and filmed "all over NSW", including parts of Broken Hill.
