10 Recent Movies That Were Absolute HELL To Make

While fraught with only a fraction of the hardship that beset the production of Mad Max: Fury Road - which saw stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy come to blows throughout - prequel Furiosa was certainly no filmmaking picnic either.

The gruelling nature of the shoot speaks for itself - the cast and crew spent five months in the baking Australian sun in uncomfortable costumes shooting technically challenging stunt sequences.

The focal set-piece where the War Rig is attacked by raiders reportedly took 78 days to shoot by itself, requiring the efforts of 200 stunt performers to complete.

But things weren't much more comfortable for the star cast, as lead Anya Taylor-Joy made abundantly clear during the film's press tour. During an interview with The New York Times, she said that she'd "never been more alone than making that movie," and "everything that [she] thought was going to be easy was hard."

When the interviewer dug for more information, Taylor-Joy replied with a curt, "Next question, sorry. Talk to me in 20 years."

While we might have to wait a while to learn the particulars of her experience on the film, it's clear that Furiosa wasn't a total walk in the park compared to Fury Road.
