New Mad Max film expected to bring 'massive influx' of jobs, cash to regional NSW

ABC  

Regional towns are preparing for a cash boost — and a celebrity sighting or two — when another instalment in the Mad Max franchise begins shooting in New South Wales next year. Key points: Furiosa is the prequel to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road and will begin shooting next year Director George Miller says it will be shot "all over NSW" including Broken Hill The blockbuster will create 850 jobs and inject $350 million into the NSW economy Furiosa will create hundreds of jobs and inject $350 million into the economy, according to the NSW government, as money flows from the blockbuster franchise into regional cities like Broken Hill. Ms Vanderwalt, who won an Oscar for her work on Mad Max: Fury Road, said the blockbuster would bring people, jobs and opportunities to regional towns. George Miller, who created the franchise in 1979 with Mel Gibson in the lead, said the film would be shot "all over NSW", but so far only Broken Hill has been specifically named.
