Director George Miller is back in the wasteland with "Furiosa", the prequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road". Warner Bros has unveiled the first trailer for this action-packed instalment, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, who shaves her head to portray Imperator Furiosa, a role initially played by Charlize Theron in the 2015 action film.

The Cannes Film Festival slips into high gear on Thursday by screening a new "Mad Max" film and firing the starter's gun on its competition for the Palme d'Or prize.

Mad Max: Fury Road is an upcoming post-apocalyptic action film directed, produced and co-written by George Miller, and the fourth film of Miller's Mad Max franchise.
