Director George Miller plans to share more ‘Mad Max’ stories; Celebrating the pioneering English Channel swimmer in ‘Young Woman and the Sea’ and other news

Director George Miller, the mastermind behind the “Mad Max” franchise, revealed that there are more stories to be told within the post-apocalyptic universe. Just a day after the world premiere of the fifth film in the series, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” at the Cannes Film Festival, Miller hinted at the possibility of exploring additional narratives.

“We wrote, in order to tell the story of ‘Fury Road,’ we had to know the back story of Furiosa and Max in the year before,” Miller shared with journalists, suggesting that there are untold tales waiting to be brought to life on the big screen.

In another exciting development, Hollywood is set to celebrate the incredible achievements of Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, the pioneering English Channel swimmer, in the upcoming film “Young Woman and the Sea.” Ederle made history in 1926 by becoming the first woman to swim across the English Channel, beating the men’s world record in the process.

Meanwhile, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola debuted his long-awaited passion project, “Megalopolis,” at the Cannes Film Festival. The 138-minute epic science-fiction tale, inspired by Roman history, marks a significant moment in Coppola’s illustrious career, as he vies for the prestigious Palme d’Or once again.
