\n\u201cI am thrilled\u00a0Furiosa<\/em>\u00a0will call NSW home thanks to the support of the NSW Government\u2019s\u00a0Made in NSW fund<\/em>.\u201d
\nDirector Dr George Miller said it was great to see the Mad Max franchise return to Australia.
\n\u201cWe are entirely grateful to the Berejiklian Government and for the advice and help extended to us by Graeme Mason, CEO of Screen Australia and Grainne Brunsdon, Head of Screen NSW. The support of the Federal and New South Wales Governments were pivotal.
