Mad Max: Fury Road changed the history of cinema when it was released in 2015, with its realistic and spectacular non-stop car action that took the world by storm. The latest installment of the legendary saga, Mad Max: Furiosa, directed by the legendary founder and great master George Miller, will be released nationwide on Friday, May 31, 2024 (Japanese dubbed version / IMAX® / 4D / Dolby Cinema® / ScreenX simultaneous screening).
Tetsuo Hara has long been a huge fan of the Mad Max series, and says that the series' devastated world, biker gangs that rule through violence, and the protagonist's survival in despair have had a huge influence on his own work. Now, the long-awaited collaboration with Mad Max: Furiosa has finally come to fruition! In preparation for the release of the latest film, an illustration of the main character, Furiosa, drawn by Tetsuo Hara himself has been released!
Like a ray of light shining into a devastated world, the "Furiosa, the Angry Warrior" drawn by Tetsuo Hara has arrived!
The released illustration shows Furiosa looking dignified with a buzz cut, a prosthetic left hand, and a gun in her right hand.
The work is delicate yet dynamic, with Hara Tetsuo's characteristic dramatic touch, and Furiosa's nobility is depicted so vividly that it seems as if she could move at any moment. This is a masterpiece that conveys the passion Hara has shown in his collaboration with Mad Max, which he has admired for many years. Furthermore, a comment has arrived from Hara Tetsuo himself, who saw the film early! In addition to praising the film highly, he speaks of his respect for director George Miller as a spiritual mentor as a creator, and his passion is so strong that he has even asked to become Miller's apprentice because of his love for the film.
