George Miller likes to keep things interesting, and he’s returning to one of his most innovative ideas as the filmmaker is looking to turn cinematographer Simon Duggan’s work into a monochrome masterpiece with a new black-and-white version of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Miller reveals the plans for the new version, stating:
“We’ve done it already. It’s the last thing I did on this film, and I call it ‘Tinted Black & Chrome,’ or I want to call it Tinted Black & Chrome. “I must say, it’s really interesting. I’m still trying to demystify why the black and white, for me, has something more elemental to it. I still can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s not because they look like old black-and-white movies; it’s something else. It’s like if we took a picture of ourselves right now, it might look a little more dramatic if it was black and white.”
