Director

George Miller is the creator of the 'Mad Max' series, which began in 1979 with Mel Gibson as the titular anti-hero.

He is back at the helm for the prequel.

However, the 78-year-old director was initially reluctant to make the movie because he wasn't confident that CGI could successfully de-age Charlize Theron, who played Furiosa in 'Fury Road'.

That problem was ultimately solved by a re-casting.

Speaking to the New York Times, he said: "For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-aging on Charlize, but I don't think we're nearly there yet. Despite the valiant attempts on 'The Irishman', I think there's still an uncanny valley. Everyone is on the verge of solving it, particularly Japanese video-game designers, but there's still a pretty wide valley, I believe."
