George Miller
'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth discuss their personal connections to and artistic interest in the characters they portray in George Miller's latest wasteland adventure epic, detailing the work they did behind the scenes to bring both Furiosa and Dementus to life on the big screen. Plus, writer-director Miller shares recalls the moment he knew he had to cast Taylor-Joy and how sitting in a makeup chair for long hours helped elevate Hemsworth's performance as a demented but engaging villain.

George Miller is an Australian film director, screenwriter, producer, and former medical doctor. He is best known for his Mad Max franchise, with Asfalttisoturi (1981) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) being hailed as amongst the greatest action films of all time. Aside from the Mad Max films, Miller has been involved in a wide range of projects. These include the Academy Award-winning Babe - urhea possu (1995) and Happy Feet (2006) film series.

Miller is co-founder of the production houses Kennedy Miller Mitchell, formerly known as Kennedy Miller, and Dr. D Studios. His younger brother Bill Miller and Doug Mitchell have been producers on almost all the films in Miller's later career, since the death of his original producing partner Byron Kennedy.

In 2006, Miller won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for Happy Feet (2006). He has been nominated for five other Academy Awards: Best Original Screenplay in 1992 for Lorenzo's Oil (1992), Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1995 for Babe - urhea possu (1995), and Best Picture and Best Director for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

    • Quotes
      Roman Polanski, a master filmmaker, said there is only one perfect place for the camera at any given time. When you shoot animation, and you have exactly the same performance, exactly the same words, exactly the same lighting, but you shift the camera, you're virtually able to prove that. You can experiment with the camera in animation with no cost. And you would find, as best as you could, that ideal place... That's why I think some of the best filmmaking comes out of places like Pixar and DreamWorks and all the animation houses, because they know where they can put the camera. [2015]
