Given that virtually any item from a movie set can be sold as memorabilia these days — I once worked with a writer who bought some of the gritty, gravel-covered rubber frogs from the rain-of-frogs scene in Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia on a whim — it's no wonder that movie fans tend to have a small, lasting fascination with the items that movie stars sneak from movie sets. It might seem endearingly human for a celebrity to want a souvenir from a production — or just tellingly funny about what a given star values and thinks is cool.
Polygon recently got a chance to sit down with Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth to ask, among other things, if they wanted to keep anything from the set of Furiosa, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road prequel. Hemsworth says he wishes he could have kept the teddy bear his character, Dementus, clings to his body throughout the film — a small leftover detail from the anime series Miller planned to remake Furiosa. "I didn't. I should have," he says. "The detail was pretty incredible for the art department and from George. I'm gonna track that bear. We need it to get home.”
