Anya Taylor-Joy had some thoughts on her starring role in Furiosa, based on the extreme conditions faced while filming the Viking epic The Northman.
Anya Taylor-Joy's experiences filming The Northman prepared her for her next role in the Mad Max spinoff Furiosa. The Northman sees Taylor-Joy reuniting with The Witch writer-director Robert Eggers to tell the brutal and epic tale of Amleth, a Viking prince played by Alexander Skarsgård, on a quest to avenge the murder of his father. Taylor-Joy plays Olga of the Birch Forest, a love interest to Amleth, whose own quest for revenge mirrors his.
Eggers is known for his exacting attention to detail. In The Witch, everything is period-accurate, from the early modern English the characters speak, to the boning in the women's corsets, to the thatching on the cottage's roof. Eggers even flew a white pine tree to set to make the hemlock forest of Ontario look more like New England. The Northman is no different.
"I remember, there was a very specific moment where I was looking out at all of the green of Ireland, if you've ever been lucky enough to visit, it's a very specific green. And I just remember looking and thinking, 'I'm not going to see green, or snow.' It will be a vista this impressive, but it will be entirely the opposite of this wet, fertile place. I'm just like, 'Wow, okay, I'm really going to experience both extremes this year.
The long in the works prequel to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road has had a bumpy road to the screen. Financial disputes between director George Miller's production company and Warner Brothers and the shutdown from the Covid pandemic have both delayed the picture, which is now finally slated to premiere in 2024.
Facing adversity can breed strength of character, something the immensely talented Taylor-Joy believes. Film sets can already be endurance tests for cast and crew. 14-16 hour workdays are not uncommon, sometimes even lasting longer, with a short turnaround. Not to mention night shoots or filming in rugged environments can take a physical toll on the body and test a person's mental strength, not to mention wreak absolute havoc on their sleep schedule.
