There’s actually by no means been a movie franchise fairly like what’s about to occur with Avatar. Some studios have taken on an opportunity on making two sequels back-to-back; the final two Again to the Futures have been shot that method, as have been the primary two Matrix sequels. However James Cameron isn’t making two Avatar sequels again to again; he’s making 4 again to again to again to again. And whereas the primary of those films, Avatar: The Approach of Water, doesn’t even debut till December, Cameron has already shot a good portion of the fourth movie — which isn’t even scheduled to open in theaters underneath the perfect circumstances for an additional 4 years.
Franchise producer Jon Landau introduced some footage from The Approach of Water on the Busan Worldwide Movie Competition this week, the place he gave this data on the state of the franchise (through Selection):
We’ve accomplished many of the first act of ‘Avatar 4’ and there have been logistical the explanation why we would have liked to do this. We’ve designed many of the entire film for ‘Avatar 4’ however we haven’t really filmed all of it – simply the primary act.
The diploma of complexity and measurement of those films, and the organizational expertise wanted to drag this off is principally past my comprehension. To already be capturing Avatar 4, you’ve obtained to not solely have Avatar 2 completed, you’ve obtained to really feel assured sufficient in your plans for Avatar 3 that the movie gained’t change considerably. Except, I suppose, you work you may all the time reshoot Avatar 4 down the road if you might want to.
When folks say they don’t actually care about Avatar or they aren’t eager about seeing the sequels, that is the rationale I dismiss these complaints. Even in case you don’t care about Jake Sully or the opposite characters, Cameron is doing one thing remarkable right here. Why wouldn’t you wish to see what he comes up with?
The late movie critic Gene Siskel famously had this check for films, the place he would ask: Is that this factor I simply watched as attention-grabbing as a documentary concerning the actors sitting round and consuming lunch collectively? It seems like there must be some sort of expanded model for Avatar: Is that this sequel as attention-grabbing as simply watching James Cameron attempt to wrap his mind round making 4 gigantic movies with tons of groundbreaking particular results concurrently?
Avatar: The Approach of Water is scheduled to open in theaters on December 16, 2022. Avatar 4, which doesn’t have an official subtitle but, is at the moment deliberate for December 18, 2026.
