My book "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild & True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road" has been out for a month! Let's celebrate that with some never-before-seen casting photos. Here's Gal Gadot from her London audition to play Furiosa. (And she almost got the role.)

Here is Charlize and Tom's very first casting meeting. They had a Skype call with George Miller that day so he could get a sense of their screen chemistry.

Nicholas Hoult was just 19 when he auditioned for FURY ROAD. George Miller was reluctant to even see him for the role of Nux because Hoult is 6 inches taller than Tom Hardy. But casting director Ronna Kress kept pushing for it. (He'd be 25 by the time the film came out.)

I absolutely devoured your book, loved it deeply. Literally day I finished reading it I rewatched Fury Road for like the 100th time and appreciated it all that much more.
