Sci-Fi Avatar: The Way Of Water

Not sure if this will appear in one of the movies or just something Mercedes Benz have teamed with Avatar on for aesthetics and theme purposes, but either way it's pretty cool imo and i thought worth posting.

I think people are underestimating Cameron’s ability to reinvent special effects once again with these water sequences. I mean in terms of CGI, Aquaman is currently the (low) bar and this will utterly destroy that just by Cameron’s passion for realistic underwater photography.

Further plot details are scarce, other than the first sequel will involve the children of Worthington and Saldana’s characters, but Cameron promises the end result moviegoers will see on screen is nothing short of jaw dropping.

“I deal with images in that world every single day and there are some days when I look at those images and say, ‘This is really amazing,’” Cameron remarked to the Sun. “I’m not patting myself on the back with that comment.”

Much of the new Avatar action will take place underwater, with Cameron utilizing underwater motion-capture technology.

“It’s a distillation of some of the best designers in the world and a great cast,” Cameron said. “But if you’ve got the script right and the design right and you have a great cast, then it’s just an iterative process to get the whole thing shot and assembled.”

I always thought Avatar is overrated, because we‘ve seen the story so many times...but boy am I intrigued for that new movie.
The visual were out of this world and will be even better now.
And this time Cameron needs to come up with an original story, because Pocahontas 2 sucked

****ing Christ.

 

[terry78]

That shows how powerful this thing is when you can even stagger the Cam.

 

[:eek:]

Almost beginning to think these movies are cursed...

Still, I must say I pretty much have expected this latest delay for some time now.

 

[Marvolo]

There was no reason to delay these.

 

[#root]

2020? They mean 2022 for Avatar 2, right?

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh Lord. Aren't they already filmingthe third movie? I would understand the delay if they just started filming but thats not the case here. But I guess thats one less blockbuster to watch next year.

 

[Filmfreak]

Second and third movies are being shot back-to-back.

December next year seemed more than enough time to be able to finish the movie but what do I know, especially in these uncertain times? Still, I have a feeling the delay domino effect has more to do with Star Wars and less to do with Avatar.

I do want to see what they look like with modern day weta tech. The 2009 ones still hold up to an extent.

 

[Pennywise]

Hopefully, I’m still alive by 2028 and manage to see 2-5, lol!

[Broseph44]

Really cool design.

 

[Schlosser85]

Cameron is always good for some cool tech.

[Boom]

So can the Na'vi breathe underwater or something?

So can the Na'vi breathe underwater or something?

Not sure if all can, but it seems like Metkayina Clan (who lives off the reef) can do deep diving.

[Kate Winslet] plays a character who's part of the Sea People, the reef people. The one thing she did do is demand that she do all her own water work. I said, 'All right, that's fine, we'll have to teach you how to free dive.' The other actors are up to three- and four-minute breath holds.

Apparently, Part Of Avatar 2 Is Being Shot Underwater

The Metkayina Clan will include Bailey Bass as Tsireya, a graceful and strong free-diver – the young Neytiri of the ocean. Filip Geljo will portray Aonung, a young male hunter/free-diver son the Olo’eyktan of Metkayina Clan. Duane Evans Jr. rounds out the bunch as Rotxo, who is also a young male hunter/free-diver.

‘Avatar’ Sequels: First Images Of Cast Revealed – Deadline

Cliff Curtis is playing a new character named Tonowari, the leader of the Metkayina, a reef clan from Pandora. James Cameron has been saying for years that a lot of Avatar 2, and presumably the other sequels, will be taking place underwater. With this new casting, it looks like that will indeed be the case.
