James Cameron's Avatar to get four sequels - The message will still be the same

To its credit, at least it wasn't rushed out.

I honestly expected all of these movies to come out 2 years ago by now. So.... I guess that's better?
 
Is the general public still into Avatar? It's been a decade now.

My grandma really liked the first one. If this sequel ever comes out and she lives long enough to see it, it'll have at least one fan.

But I feel like Cameron has to do something like glassesless 3D in order to really get people's attention, unless there are way more Sam Worthington fans than I thought.

But still, imagine making the highest-grossing movie ever while also leaving no cultural footprint in the process.

If people can't even name a single character from the film outside of maybe Jake Sully, I can't imagine Avatar still being a huge juggernaut in the general public, if it even was that to begin with.

Makes you wonder what Cameron's ulterior motive(s) may be. He made Titanic because Marine Biology is his main passion, he wanted to do that before becoming a filmmaker, and he convinced Fox to pay for an exploration of the original Titanic wreck in order to promote the movie. According to Michael Biehn, he made Avatar to finance his Marine Biology expeditions (or whatever you call it).

Sam Worthington won't even be in it except as a mocap model for his in-universe fursona (unless they do flashbacks or reveal that surprise! his twin isn't dead after all.) But yeah, the 3D fad appears to have run it's course (again) and Marvel has pretty much saturated the "extravagant CGI orgy" market with the added bonus of the occasional story that isn't complete shit. Rate me :optimistic: all you like, but I don't know if the public even remembers Avatar well enough to go back for a second helping- "forgotten, but not gone."

In the states, probably not. But It'll probably its budget back overseas. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney rolled out Avatar 1 in theaters before Avatar 2 came out. Or they'll lay the ground work to get the public interested in the series again. Honestly, more time is better.
 
Remember Avatar was actually based off a video game called Albion, there by making Avatar the most successful video game movie adaptation of all time.

Also yes people do give a shit about Avatar in the states, the Avatar Area in animal kingdom is some of the longest wait times in the park IIRC.

I think Cameron's passion for deep sea diving is pretty well documented (also see The Abyss).

I don't know where I read it, but wasn't one of the sequels supposed to take place underwater as well? I guess that means we can expect alien mermaids and those awful humans destroying the coral reef because science bad.
 
yeah iirc one of the sequels was to be underwater, early draft another planet in the same system, then revised to still on Ferngully but underwater
And to be fair I've heard a lot of positive things about the Disney attractions. I still have some early art of the boat dark ride in my wallpaper rotation. It's a nice piece.

His other movies are probably culturally significant enough for him. Terminator and Aliens are still talked about forty years later. Avatar was a mercenary project and I feel like he looks at that two and half billion dollars and feels totally fine with how no one will remember it.

He is going to make 4D glasses, and with them you get to see the movie made in 100 years from now.
 
this is going to make sooo much money in china... they havnt seen the smurf movies or that one with the wolfes, or all other movies with the same story, and they love cameron.
it will look good, will have hot navy,etc.

Wasn't it just Chinese peasants who were affected? They had never seen such an immersive media in their entire medieval-technology level of existence, and it just blew their minds.
