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. 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.
