‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ was a critical and commercial triumph—but, in an excerpt from KyleBuchanan’s new book, members of the cast and crew recall the feud that nearly derailed it.
It was very interesting to sit in a truck for four months with Tom and Charlize, who have completely different approaches to their craft.Tom is very physical and all over the place and would try very different things. Charlize is cerebral and very consistent in the way that she approaches a character. They’re both powerhouses, but in their very different ways of working. Which, weirdly, is why the film works: It’s all pouring out on the screen.
Eventually, veteran producer Denise Di Novi was dispatched to Namibia to mediate the conflict between the film’s two stars.I don’t want to rehash things, but it came out of a really bad moment where things kind of came to blows between me and Tom.I remember vividly the day. The call on set was eight o’clock. Charlize got there right at eight o’clock, sat in the War Rig, knowing that Tom’s never going to be there at eight even though they made a special request for him to be there on time.
He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point, because then she said, “I want someone as protection.” She then had a producer that was assigned to be with her all the time.It got to a place where it was kind of out of hand, and there was a sense that maybe sending a woman producer down could maybe equalize some of it, because I didn’t feel safe.There’s something that you can’t put your finger on unless you are inside it and you know what went on there.
