Sci-Fi Avatar: The Way Of Water

[I Am The Knight]

He is trying to turn this into a big saga. We'll see if it works.

The context of Cameron's comments are pretty obvious. Many have said similar things before.

Anyway, I do give him points for having White people/invaders lose and the White savior gave up his Whiteness completely, due to the sci-fi aspect.

I like Avatar but this 3-4 movies back to back filming is kinda nuts. He should focus on Avatar 2 first and then maybe more sequels.

He is trying to turn this into a big saga. We'll see if it works.

We all said he was crazy twice before with Titanic and Avatar 1, I think he'll do the impossible.

 

[moviefreak]

James Cameron -- the master of making the impossible possible and crazy sane. lol

He's though getting a but too long in tooth and inactive for a long while.

When i saw that title i got scared due to how impossible a project that seems, but it aparently was just Cameron shutting down the idea and mentioning how he can't "scale down" the franchise. Sounded good, even though he offered no news on the franchise's present development. Best bit there was the announcement that Abyss has already received a remaster and might come to blu ray soon.

 

[Kane52630]

classic click bait.

Each day that passes is a day everyone cares even less.

When it kind of became this global phenomena, it was within a very, very short time that the man said to me, 'You're coming back,' and I said, 'How?' He said, 'I told you that already!' And you know, he'd mentioned it once, a long time ago, when we'd been shooting, but it was speculative! You don't dare to believe anything. 'It's totally not real.' [laughs]

But what it says is that Jim had a saga, an epic in his mind, all the time. Now, I think that certainly if Quaritch had not been as successful a character as he was - and it was interesting, the number of people who liked Quaritch, along with reviling him. But I think it's possible he wouldn't have come back, but the circumstances just made it, I wouldn't say inevitable, certainly not in my mind, but perhaps they were in Jim Cameron's mind. We had a good working relationship. It was a successful character, and, you know, lucky me!

Dave Filoni would make Avatar interesting.

 

[Lord]

They talk as if Quaritch had become some kind of Darth Vader or Hans Landa. Few people realy cared for that character, they would probably gain more from having a brand new villain than trying to revive an old one.

 

[Binker]

I can't be the only one who feels this way: wouldn't it be much better if Cameron didn't end his career after Avatar, a film series no one cares for and sees as a gimmick 3D-in-theaters-only movie; but instead went full circle and gave us, finally, an awesome Terminator film, since his career found success with that film and later franchise?

 

[titansupes]

^ Wait, has Cameron actually said he's ending his career with this franchise? Or do you just mean it feels that way because he's devoting so much time to it?

 

[Rocketman]

I honestly think they're trying to create a franchise that isn't there.

The movie felt like a one-and-done thing by the time it was over, and now Cameron is retconning his idea.

This all feels like Lucas making up stuff as he went along and trying to tell us he had the whole saga planned out from the beginning, when the evidence shows otherwise.

 

[Lord]

He's been talking about making Avatars 2 and 3 even before the first film came out though.

 

[Victarion]

Terminator / Avatar cinematic universe time boyos.

 

[:eek:]

Terminator / Avatar cinematic universe time boyos.

An Abyss/Avatar cinematic universe probably would make more sense...

 

[Rocketman]

How 'bout we get an Avatar universe this century first? lol

I love how he admits he overwrote, but doesn't seem to understand how that is a problem.

 

[Rocketman]

I know, haha.

None of his scripts are ever tightly written or fiscally responsible. It's always got to be an overblown, fatty epic that ends up getting an extended cut / deleted scenes on DVD. The man hasn't dialed it down since the first Terminator 32 years ago.

This isn't a bad thing imo. The problem came when this took a couple of sequels to 4. Surely that means a lot of superfluous stuff is in those scripts.

Is Quaritch the guy with the scars? Cause I dont know anyone that gives two ****s about that generic *****ebag. He was a throw away cliche paper thin character. He wasnt successful. He wasnt anything. He was just there.

 

[titansupes]

^ Yup.

Stephen Lang Offers “Avatar 2” Update

Hard to believe but the “Avatar” sequel was originally targeting a late 2013 release, that was until filmmaker James Cameron kept expanding the scope of his films and adding further entries so at this point they’re aiming to do four more films in the series. It has taken a long time to get things in shape but now it looks like production is about ready to kick into high gear in a few months.
One of the returning faces for the trip back to Pandora is the first film’s villain Colonel Miles Quaritch played by Stephen Lang. Lang, who stars in this past weekend’s box-office topper “Don’t Breathe,” recently spoke with AICN and says filming will begin early 2017. Talking about the delay:

“Yeah, the reading of things. We’re getting there. We’re in good shape. We’ll be starting certainly early in the new year. But you know, the thing is, as you can imagine with a film like Avatar, it’s not like the work hasn’t been going on. The design, the production design, the various worlds, and creatures and environments, that’s all being worked on.”
That’s what he’s done, he creates problems in which he then needs to invent a technology and a new way to do it, and I believe that’s part of the quite perverse joy for him in this is creating these seemingly insurmountable problems, and then bringing aboard people who can be helpful and say, ‘This is what we’ve got to do.’ So it’s a massive effort, but I have every expectation because I’m pretty intimately aware of what’s going. It’s going to be an absolute joy to behold.”
​

Lang says right now things are on track to meet the target release dats with “Avatar 2” in December 2018, “Avatar 3” in 2020, and then “Avatar 4” and “Avatar 5” in 2022 and 2023.
