Anya Taylor-Joy only has 30 lines of dialogue in Fury Road prequel Furiosa, despite the Mad Max movie's 2.5-hour runtime

Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa in Furiosa.

Imperator Furiosa is a woman of few words. Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the titular character in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, only has 30 lines of dialogue in the movie, according to The Telegraph.  

Considering the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel clocks in at two hours and 28 minutes and the movie follows 15 years of Furiosa's life, that leaves a lot of room for silence, but director George Miller has his reasons. "The problem with dialogue," he told the publication, "is that it tends to slow things down, and film is a medium that’s often best enjoyed at high speed."
