Avatar 2 Begins Filming Next Week

>Avatar 2 Begins Filming Next Week

>James Cameron will begin principal photography on Avatar 2 next Monday, September 25th, as was confirmed at the special Terminator event that was held in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, September 19th. Back in June, Cameron’s longtime coproducer and Lightstorm Entertainment head Jon Landau said that filming on the Avatar sequels (all four of them, back-to-back) would indeed begin in the last week of September of this year. The latest update on the project confirms that it is currently moving along right on-schedule, for the time being.

>Cameron and his Avatar sequels cast – which includes returning players Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), Zoe Saldana (Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (Grace Augustine) and Stephen Lang (Miles Quaritch) along with franchise newcomers like Oona Chaplin (Taboo) and Cliff Curtis (Fear the Walking Dead) – have already begun running through the motions on the films’ “virtual” sets, ahead of the start of filming.

>This further goes to show just how meticulous Cameron is as a filmmaker, from both a technical perspective and a storytelling one – having spent the last several years fine-tuning the Avatar sequels’ scripts with a team of four other screenwriters.

If you doubt Cameron you are literally retarded.

>all four of them, back-to-back

Jesus imagine the amount of making-of and behind the scenes footage once the collector's box with all movies in it comes out. How much extra stuff was on the LotR special edition blurays?

>has spent 8 years in preproduction
genuinely anticipating what he does

we are so close now, we'll see our azure goddess (and some other cute na'vi) on the silver screen again in our lifetime.
Almost makes you want to count the days
1,185 days remaining

I remember some Asian dude killing himself after watching Avatar in cinemas, wishing he could live on Pandora

>Quaritch returns
My body is ready

I literally could not care. Avatar was one of the worst popular movies that I have ever seen in my life. Literally everyone I know who went to see it did so because of the 3D effects.

The characters are unlikable and forgettable. The Navi are downright creepy looking. The idea of having your soul taken by their demonic mother goddess is truly scary.

There was nothing good or entertaining about Avatar. It's just not a good film. Deal with it.

I watched it 2 days in a row in 2D and it was a magical experience. It somehow grasped you and didn't let go till it ended a 2nd time

It's a laughable, forgettable movie with awful acting and ridiculous concepts. It appealed only to morons who were easily amused by shapes and bright colors.

I'm sure your taste in films is much more sophisticated

This. Dont really care about Avatar but Cameron has got to have something cool looking up his sleeve.

Damn you are smart. I love how you cut through all the bullshit.

I remember when one of the characters first said "unobtanium" people in the theater actually laughed.

Agreed. The fact that he actually brought in four writers makes me hopeful that this time around the narrative will be more compelling.

There's literally nothing wrong with that line

>In all this time there still haven't been people on mars

We are literally descending into Idiocracy

That's because the general public is ignorant.

I dont know how the new Avatars will do well unless they shift the plots heavily. The core audience for the first movie was middle aged women who think owning ferrets and dabbling in Wiccan/New Age crap is a good idea, while the rest of Box Office came from normies who wanted to be amused by the 3d special effects.

There'll be no CGI for the characters
The Navi will all be anamatronic puppets
Look at the Avatar ride in Disneyworld
Crazy good

Do normies like or even remember Avatar?

Based Quaritch did nothing wrong. The true hero of Avatar.

Who cares?

were waiting on Russia to have to appropriate tech to reach Mars

>Cliff Curtis
eeeeuuughghgh dammit i hate this faggot

whither our sweet prince?

This is the science fiction saga that will be remembered. Not those new Star Wars and Star Trek movies that are as save and generic as can be. This will be an actual well thought-out sci-fi world.

The studio should care if they want to make a bazillion dollars again.

This is it...over a century of cinema has led up to this one moment

Do you doubt?

>all four of them, back-to-back
How many reshoots will there be?

non. all movie magic

this phrase gets abused a lot but quaritch really did fight to save the human race albeit brutally

He died in the first movie, no?
>yfw the absolute madman Cameron does a Quaritch origin movie as one of the 4

Or maybe it's because it sounds completely ridiculous

>Begins Filming
Jesus.
They've waited that long to just start filiming it?

He wasn't even brutal about it
He gave every opportunity for the navi to leave.
It was Jake that dropped the ball by chasing blue puss instead of actually telling them to get the fuck out

are you saying you want to rush it out like these superhero movies on an accelerating conveyor belt?

>Do normies like or even remember Avatar?
Of course not. People forgot about that shit a week after they saw it.

JC will either say he has a backup cloned body on Earth or have him become part of the Treenet like Siggy Weaver did

Did you see the first Avatar? It was one of the worst mainstream films of the last decade, right up there with capeshit

He spent 8 years rolling around in shit so that he could feed audiences the best, most fermented shit possible

There is difference between rushing a movie and releasing a movie timely to keep the interest going.
Disney World already has a nearly finished Avatar Park because they thought that at this point in time the third movie was about to be released.

>science words sound funny to stupid people

Shocker

>A na'vi Quartich rallying different tribes into fighting Jake's
You know what, I'm fine with that too

>Trying to defend unobtainium

Sorry james, it just sounds stupid.

I watched it opening night in the cinema. only time I ever thought it was worth paying for 3d

We are talking about James Cameron. The god of cinema. The god of cinema creating his own sci-fi universe in which he invested years and years. Have faith.

>anamatronic puppets
>implying Jim didn't perfect the science of cloning and gene splicing to create actual Na'vi for his movies
I bet you doubt Avatar being actually shot on another planet, too.

Why did the Navi look like creepy blue rats?

this was all made-up hype, that "Pandora syndrome" or whatever the fuck they called it then. I saw it in theaters and even then I thought the CGI wasn't the best

>he builds a mech suit for himself out of broken mechs, wood, treenet fibers and all the fauna on Pandora

Will they at least be rated R and contain extensive nudity?

You were supplied with a source that this term is an actual scientific term within the scientific and engineering communities. If you still think it sounds dumb you are no better than the people who laugh at "Uranus" or "Coccyx". Grow up and try reading a book.

Yeah Dances with Smurfs and Space Ferngully were so original.

James Cameron is a dumbass

>You were supplied with a source that this term is an actual scientific term within the scientific and engineering communities.

No one gives a fuck you Space Smurf loving pleeb.

Seemed to compell audiences and critics world wide. The autistic outliers hating the movie on an Indonesian condom repair image board don't matter.

>Terminator was good, but there's no way that the director of Piranhas 2 can make a good sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, it's too perfect
>Ok, Aliens was good, but Terminator 2 is going to be terrible. How many stories can you make about killer robots chasing damsels?
>Ok, Terminator 2 was great, but how is an action movie director going to make a love story on the Titanic a hit? It can't be done
>Ok, Titanic was good and it broke records, but that was just a fluke. Blue cat people in space? Guaranteed flop
>Ok, Avatar broke all the records that Jim set with Titanic, but that was just a fluke too. There's NO way Avatar 2 is going to be any good

>Einsteinium as an element exists
>reee unobtainium is too silly a word
state of redditors

Nice argument. You must be some kind of scholar.

Avatar? More like Avaturd.

>>Titanic was good

Avatar 2’s final world wide box office will be less than $1 billion.

If Ridley Scott can go senile, so can James.

Nah. People only went to see it because of the 3D and then they forgot about it a day later because the plot was so stupid and forgettable.

>hating on Titanic

Insecure kissless virgin detected.

>Titanic wasn't good

Ridley isn't going on sole missions to the bottom of the sea for shits and giggles. Cameron is a mad man but not senile

And that reflects on its quality, how?
No matter how you feel about the movie or James Cameron, you have to give the man props for being this ambitious.

it's a bad film that will no doubt spawn bad sequels but i'm pretty sure the tech and visuals are why most people are into it

>movie had extremely strong legs and strong word of mouth
>was in theaters for a really long time because the drop-off was so slow
>many people kept seeing it over and over again

Yeah looks like reality refutes your claim. People don't get that thrilled by shallow effects or 3D but by emotionally comeplling experiences such as the brilliant world building of Avatar and experiencing the world of Pandora through the screen. Keep posting hate though. God knows you have enough time on your hands with nothing better to do.

>We named an element after the guy who spearheaded the Manhattan Project
>Makes sense

>Naming an element after the word unobtainable
>Doesn't make sense.

>blames Cameron for a word that was established and defined by scientists in the 50s

Smart.

avatar was plain and boring so really, nobody cares

Very few people have forgotten it, you're mistaken.

>I am not hungry therefore nobody is hungry

>ignoring Livermorium and Californium
face it, your point was shit.

Titanic is fucking amazing and I hate romantic movies.

>Avatar 2 Begins Filming Next Week
>Begins

Nigga what!? I thought they were already half way though 3 by now

Although I wouldn't be that harsh I agree mostly.

Seeing Avatar isn't interesting to me, the story was self contained already, and no amount of planning will make it compelling in the end. Its just the same as getting "hyped" for the planet of the apes movies. Hell, maybe even less meaningful.

They're well made blockbusters and no more. I'd rather wait to see the next thing that Refn and Von Trier make because at least their shit will be divisive and unique for the most part.

really, nobody cares. *yawn*
cameron has wasted the final act of his life on capeshit in space

Seriously nobody is hungry.

>Since the late 1950s,[a][1] aerospace engineers have used the term "unobtainium" when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects, except that it does not exist. By the 1990s, the term was in wide use, even in formal engineering papers such as "Towards unobtainium [new composite materials for space applications]."[2][3] The word unobtainium may well have been coined in the aerospace industry to refer to materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures expected in re-entry.[1] Aerospace engineers are frequently tempted to design aircraft which require parts with strength or resilience beyond that of currently available materials.

So basically it was just a fun nickname for expensive stuff. Do you really think the humans would continue calling it unobtainium instead of I dunno Pandorium?

And you're wasting the best years of your life on a micronesian basket weaving mail correspondence.

Thought that was a blue Tristar unicorn for a second.

As far as we know the name unobtainium may just be a nickname for the material in the Avatar universe and has an actual name. It doesn't matter. What matters is that retarded people have no clue that unobtainium is an actual real world scientific term that perfectly fits a material such as the one in the movie.

>brilliant world building of Avatar
Uh what? I think it's visually compelling, but what fucking world building? The Navi are pretty much jungle Indians.

There was more to the world building of Avatar than just the Na'vi, or even just Pandora.

The problem is that it makes sense in the script but in the context of the actual film you see some caricature of a typical evil capitalist use the term.

It's basically Cameron's "For You" moment.

>Wah wah wah my diaper is full of big, wet, smelly Avaturds!

>As far as we know the name unobtainium may just be a nickname for the material in the Avatar universe and has an actual name.
Then don't you think the the scientific minded people would have used its official name.

Let's just be honest the use of Obtainium in Avatar is foreshadowing with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. And that's an unforgivable sin, James Cameron did not make Avatar with the idea of having it be "grounded" in any real sense. It's a superhero movie.

Suicide postponed.

>As far as we know the name unobtainium may just be a nickname for the material in the Avatar universe and has an actual name.
it's a real life term to describe just such a thing, NASA coined it.

You think scientists wouldn't call a material with the properties of the one in the movie "unobtainium"? Google stupid scientific names or something like that and you'll see how much scientists like to give stuff ridiculous names.

Keep in mind how much silicon impacted us. How much we accomplished thanks to this material which is why there's this era called thze Silicon Age. Now take a material with such incredible properties that it borders on magic. A room-temperature superconductor. Do you have any idea what the possibilities would be? That would make silicon look almost trivial. I don't doubt at all that scientists would actually name that element unobtainium just to signify how incredible it is. It would propell human technology a thousand years into the future.

He was too pure for this world.

He's with Eywa now.

>And that's a forgivable sin,
Fixed.

>Avatar

Oh, thanks for reminding me OP. I need to add this word to my filter list.

I hate this movie and I hate the fans even more.

i remember watching titanic when i was 16 or smth and i thought it was like the best movie ever, such epic love story omg. why am i such a pussy

What part of the world building was particularly emotionally compelling to you?
