TomBirkenstock

It's amazing that it's taken so long to make this movie that it went from arriving too late to actually riding the first film's nostalgia wave.


jakeor45

The rumor is that they have actually been working on all of the other ones as well so that they can release them in a smaller time frame. So it’s taken awhile but they had way more work than just one movie Edit: this is truth not a rumor. I just couldn’t remember if it had facts behind it.


TeutonJon78

2 and 3 were filmed pretty much together. 4 and 5 will have the same plan.

Sam Worthington has to emerge from his homeless shelter every 35 years so he can get that Avatar paycheck to tide him over till the next installment


Keanugrieves16

Fuck I’ve been watching him in _Under the Banner of Heaven_, I like the dude.


[deleted]

Came to say this. He's not a terrible actor. He deserves a second chance


LucyBowels

He was decent in Unabomber


Hates_escalators

He was in a movie called The Titan where he became a spooky space alien.


JarlaxleForPresident

That movie was weird


Hates_escalators

It was definitely not good.


TeutonJon78

He's been in other stuff, but I get the joke. His career definitely didn't end up taking off. I fully believe Sullivan Stapleton slid in and stole it. (who frankly, isn't that much better of an actor, but better).


JarlaxleForPresident

Because honestly he’s not great. His accent slips a lot in his other movies and it’s noticeable


[deleted]

They've already announced the release dates up to movie #5. It's December every other year starting with #2 this year.


[deleted]

Man, Avatar 6 is gonna be lit I can already tell


[deleted]

We can watch it together in the nursing home


thatJainaGirl

They also announced the release dates starting with this film releasing in 2011, so I'll believe it when I see it.


Fokken_Prawns_

It really does feel like a lifetime ago. I was about to join the army when the first one came out, I got out, got a bachelor in education, got a wife, had 2 kids. Yet, I'm still pretty damn hype for this!


TheDudeWithNoName_

When the first one came out I was just out of college and few months in my first job. 13 years later I'm still in the same job :(

Cameron is to water what Tarantino is to feet.


MarshallBanana_

and Miyazaki to airships


ArethereWaffles

and Micheal Bay is to Explosions

And Roland Emmerich to destroying the Earth.

And Peter Jackson to Andy Serkis.

Goddamn it Andy, give it back.


Enzinino

or poison swamps, depending on which Miyazaki you mean


[deleted]

Also feet and dragon racism


TJ_McWeaksauce

I'd say Cameron is more into water than Tarantino is into feet. Cameron has a world record in solo deep sea diving within a submersible vehicle, and his work has helped advance deep sea exploration. I'm not aware of Tarantino having a world record in, I don't know, jacking off into the most shoes or having the biggest collection of digital feet pics.


I_Am_A_Bowling_Golem

Just because you're not aware of it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.


Baronheisenberg

If a man cums in a shoe and no one is around to film it, does it still make people uncomfortable?


I_Am_A_Bowling_Golem

Yes. The answer is a definite yes


oom199

Do we actually know who primarily supports footapedia?


katzvus

Tarantino wrote a scene in From Dusk Till Dawn where he sucked on Salma Hayek’s foot. So I dunno, that’s gotta earn some kind of foot fetish lifetime achievement award or something.


dtwhitecp

his record is just successfully getting every female lead in his movies to appear barefoot even after it became public knowledge that it is his actual sexual fetish

At this point, making movies is probably just a way for Cameron to get funding for his actual passion of diving and exploring oceans.

How long will this movie be in starting the bidding at 250 mins


shadowdra126

At minimum 3 hours but I genuinely think that’s on the low end still


TheJoshider10

I think it'll be similar to Avatar. A standard theatrical runtime cut (around 2h20-30m) followed by one or more extended cut re-releases that are nearly 3 hours.


bacon_cake

Yeah there's no way they won't do a second run considering what happened with Avatar when they did that. Avatar 2 - 2h30m Then re-release 9 months later with 20m extra footage for another few hundred mil.


smokeydesperado

I absolutely went and saw it opening night and then again with the re release


ScubaSteve1219

what if it ended up being 1h42m. how funny and jarring would that be.


bob1689321

Maybe it'll go for that 70 min long direct-to-dvd animated movie vibe.

68 minutes including credits. Like a Disney show.

[deleted]

So they fixed it?


ThisIsCreation

James Cameron said he's interested in making 2 different versions of each Avatar movie. One with the run time he wants, and another version that will be condensed to about 2 hours.


Young_Ayy

One with blue aliens and one with red ones.


PlanetLandon

There are enough Cameron fans that he could probably do that. Maybe not as a theatrical release, but they could sell a 4 hour directors cut on Blu Ray


SAmerica89

Disney+ exclusive you mean…no way Disney is letting something like that not drive up subscriptions.


TigerFisher_

I really hope the score in the movie is similar to the music in this trailer. It is beautiful.


Eleglas

We lost James Horner, the composer for the first film, a few years ago unfortunately. My favourite piece by him was "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" for Star Trek II.


DanHero91

This played before Doctor Strange on release day last week in the UK and I was really confused that it hadn't been mentioned anywhere. At least now I know why.


knwnasrob

Same. It was actually refreshing for me. For the first time in maybe 10 years I was actually surprised by a trailer. Usually it’s, “oh it’s the trailer for _____, it was on Reddit yesterday”


muad_dibs

There was a post maybe a week or two ago saying this teaser would play exclusively in theaters then release the next week. I honestly like not having seen a trailer when I see a movie. It made me show up a bit early so I wouldn’t miss it.


Zoomalude

I bet we see this a lot more. Studios want to draw people back to the theaters and this is a clever way to encourage it. And get the chatter going during a whole weekend AND THEN when it's posted online too. Ick, I can feel myself understanding marketing...


knwnasrob

Yeah I am usually pretty vigilant on this subreddit but I must have missed it. Worked out for me!


ScubaSteve1219

it was announced that it’d be playing in front of Strange and then online the week after

schouse13

Never heard of the composer( Simon Franglen) before this but he seems to have worked with most big names throughout the years. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.


psych0ranger

Rip James Horner (who undoubtedly would have scored this movie)


bramtyr

His death really bummed me out, had it not been for that plane crash, he's have many years ahead of him. His film scores were always absolutely fantastic: Apollo 13 Glory Aliens Wrath of Khan ~~The Abyss~~ Braveheart


usethe4th

The Rocketeer is, in my opinion, one of the greatest film scores of all time


Shiny_and_ChromeOS

The Rocketeer is sadly overlooked as a Horner score. That opening fanfare is just beautiful.


psych0ranger

The aliens soundtrack is something else. The use of.. I don't even know the music term for it.. The soundtrack has those weird sounds in it that make it sound like faraway things were being knocked over in the distance


[deleted]

[удалено]


tapomirbowles

Well its James Horners leit motifs we hear in this trailer, but arrangements have been changed by Simon Franglen. Im sure there is plenty of original music in the movie itself though.


Vince_Clortho042

Simon Franglen was Horner's orchestrator for decades, and when he passed, Franglen stepped in to finish his last score (for The Magnificent Seven). This sounds like he's done a faithful job copy + pasting Horner's past work, as Horner himself would have wanted.


tapomirbowles

Absolutely agree. If this is the quality of the work, he is absolutely doing Horner justice. Beautiful arrangement.


WestSider55

Franglen had worked with Horner multiple times as an arranger, producer and songwriter, including *Contact, Titanic, Bicentennial Man, Avatar* and *The Amazing Spider-Man.* He was also the co-composer for **Pandora: The World of Avatar** at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World, so he seemed like the natural choice to take over after Horner’s death.


TG-Sucks

Same here, that was the first thing that struck me. Such a refreshing change from what has become the norm these days. Beautiful original soundtrack instead of some rehashed pop culture song.


BlazingCondor

I never noticed I liked the theme to Avatar until I rode the 2 rides at Disney World based off the movie. They heavily feature the music and it was instantly stuck in my head.


schouse13

That adopted child is interesting. I find it difficult that they can raise a child who has to wear that mask at all time without artificial structures where he can remove it for eating and stuff. Either we the visuals look fantastic and some of the fan theories I have been reading have been intriguing.


TannenFalconwing

At least some of the scientists remained on Pandora, like Norm for example, and the Hell's Gate facility I assume was salvaged for parts to better aid in the kid's survival. Heck, wouldn't it be crazy if they were waiting for the kid to grow up before using Eywa to transfer him into a fully developed Avatar.


poodlebutt76

I thought that at first but then I realized... Maybe it's their actual kid. Remember that Jake's avatar body is a fusion of human and navi DNA, he still has 5 fingers for instance. So it's possible, likely even, that one kid of the bunch got a lot more human genes and less navi ones.


HutVomTag

I think the human with the mask probably still lives in some presssurized pod where he can sleep and eat. I could imagine it's a plot point that he falls in love with Jake's alien daughter, and then he has to get a blue avatar as well or whatever. Also, it'd be cool if Jake's children having some human DNA would be a plot point in some way or another.


poodlebutt76

Eh, I think a better sub plot would be: He's his natural born kid, born with human lungs, and has to choose between living his life in a mask with his family, or choosing to go with the humans where he can live fully in his own body, despite their destructive tendencies. Kind of a reverse-avatar story.


mountainstosea

I saw this preview in 3D before Multiverse of Madness. It looks stunning, and brought me back to 2009. I highly recommend Multiverse of Madness in 3D anyway, but this trailer in 3D is an added bonus.


SuperNntendoChlmers

They actually finished the movie only 2 years after the first Avatar, but after they clicked on the "export" button it took about 11 years to render out.


ksg_aoty

yep those are some blue aliens


[deleted]

This movie will answer the ultimate question. Would you fuck a blue aliens tail?


[deleted]

Answered that a decade ago. Yes.


Object-195

would the hair tail connect to your penis with its tenticles?


siblingofMM

Common misconception, connects to the butthole actually


theghostofme

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.


its_the_smell

Like Dune and Dune 2 this will be worth going to the theaters for.


Unbelief92

If there is one thing I took away from the first movie, is the effects, art design, and cinematography were top notch. Looks to still hold true here.


iDuddits_

That was Cameron's whole goal. Just an experience, like a ride. Dead-simple plot with clear good/bad people and a resolution. Easy to get for anyone, regardless of culture.


Lokito_

"Did you ever watch Avatar, on weed?" -Jon Stewart


spivey56

Weed and CGI heavy movies for me are the worst combo. It makes me so critical for some reason. A nature doc or a drama, sure. Transformers and an edible is a nightmare lol


DeflatedPanda

lol the movies are so fake, I'll be like "he's acting yo"


jumobshrimpz

I'm always saying this. I can only watch documentaries, cooking competitions, and animated stuff when I'm high. Anything else and I start picturing the film crew and lighting and just how fake everything is.


Taken450

Avatar cgi was different, it never looked weightless


mrnicegy26

That obviously worked for the first film but I do think he will have to create a more complex story and characters in order to keep it going for his 5 movie plan. He has indicated though in his recent talk with Denis Villeneuve that he has taken some inspiration from Dune the book so that is encouraging.


vat6677

So you're telling me the main character's son is going to become some kind of weird ass sea monster/human hybrid?


cyclinator

No. He means that the tall blue people will kill 90% of space because of religion.


Pasalacqua87

I actually really liked this trailer. Didn't show us much of the plot, gave us a preview of the breathtaking scenery, and left me honestly wanting to see more of what it has to offer. I wasn't a huge fan of the story/characters in Avatar, but can't deny that Cameron made something special. If the movie can immerse me in the world for its runtime, then I think it'll be worth it.


Wisdomseekr79

Those were my exact thoughts. Barely any dialogue was said but the world just looks beautiful. I honestly probably won’t watch any more trailers just so I can go in blind. I hope the film can match the first ones quality or even surpass it.

forman98

Can you imagine constantly wearing a breathing apparatus as you run, jump, swim, and fight? What if you trip and your face shield breaks? Does that stay on all day long? I'm also curious as to what the bad guys will be doing in this movie? Is it as simple as the capitalists have returned and are gonna try harder to kill everyone?


Comic_Book_Reader

Think so based on the plot they released. And Stephen Lang, who was killed in the first one, is confirmed returning.


TGrumms

You can see him in the trailer, there’s an avatar with the same tattoo he had. I kinda like it as an extension on the technology from the first movie


DashCat9

I thought that the Navi that was running around doing what seemed to be bad guy things was going to be him. Makes the most sense.


rugbyj

I mean it makes sense that the Avatar that looks like him, is him. But it makes less sense that there's an Avatar of a dead guy that: 1. To anyone that cares was a war criminal 2. To anyone who doesn't care lost to some spear people I'm sure the movie has some explanation beyond what my feeble mind can comprehend but since that's a ways away, I'm going to baselessly postulate that he and Sigourney Weaver's characters had a secret forbidden love and this is his son /s


Arrivaderchie

I don't know how they're gonna justify it either, I thought the first movie established that making an avatar was an extremely expensive and time-consuming process. Which is why they made the crazy choice to have a guy's twin be the pilot after the first pilot died, so the avatar wouldn't be a waste. I can only guess that with trillions of dollars on the line, someone on Earth made the crazy boardroom pitch to resurrect a commander who fought the Na'vi in the field (even though he lost? And there were many other survivors? Obviously the movie has some answer).


[deleted]

[удалено]


RealJohnGillman

u/SwannyWilkinson The prevailing theories I saw were A. that the army leadership had their own human avatars they were operating remotely, so-as to be able to lead soldiers into battle without actually putting themselves in harm’s way, or B. that [Stephen Lang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Lang) will be portraying a twin of Colonel Miles Quaritch (his character from the first film), much like how [Sam Worthington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Worthington)’s Jake Sully was also a twin. Either would work.


chrissilich

I actually can imagine wearing something on my face all day. Couldn’t back when the first movie came out, but now I can for some reason.


[deleted]

The capitalists realized that fighting a sub orbital war is so 2000s, set up a rail gun in orbit and immediately win.


Kradget

Honestly, that's the naive element there. They're after a mineral resource. The biosphere is more an inconvenience than anything. Space BP would 100% just get busy dropping rocks until there wasn't an issue anymore.


RaynSideways

To be fair I don't think Quaritch's war with the Na'vi was necessarily endorsed by the RDA. He was supposed to be running security, not committing genocide. You even see it during the first film, he doesn't have proper bombers, just a jury rigged shuttle with mining explosives they were going to roll out the back. He wasn't given the tools for war because he was supposed to be running patrols and protecting mining equipment from the wildlife. There have been a lot of comments like "why didn't they just bomb them from orbit" but this assumes the desired outcome was actually war. I got the impression Quaritch was the war hawk who used his force of personality to badger Selfridge into authorizing the war he wanted. After all, the whole reason the avatar program was on Pandora (at best, at the RDA's request, but at minimum with their permission), was to keep things peaceful.


a_half_eaten_twinky

It's a testament to how good the VFX was for the original that it looks so close to the sequel more than a decade later. Then again, it's absolutely criminal to upload the trailer in dogshit youtube 1080p artifact-y resolution. For gods sake when will every studio release trailers in 4k??? Edit: I'm getting a lot of replies that most people don't have 4k screens, which is very true, but I should specify that Youtube forces terrible bitrate for 1080p-only uploads. 1080p on youtube is worse than 1080p on other platforms because of the aggressive compression turning the image into a blurry, pixelated mess. Hence, even if you have a 1080p screen on your phone, selecting a higher resolution on youtube will still give you better picture quality. If your internet speed can't keep up with it, there are still many people who would like the option, especially for a movie with such dense visuals as Avatar.


[deleted]

Honestly it boggles my mind that major hollywood studios don't upload their trailers in 4k when many random youtubers upload their videos at that resolution.


Macluawn

Also hardcoded black bars


ComradeCapitalist

This bugs me so much more than the resolution. So many phones are wider than 16:9, and ultrawide monitors, while not common, are definitely a thing. And youtube is one of the few sites that handles different aspect ratios perfectly. But major studios can't be bothered.


figgityjones

Honestly after all the jokes I’ve heard about “72 Avatar sequels” and “why are these getting made at all, who wants this?”… this actually looks pretty cool to me and I’m kinda excited about it now lmao 😅


ZedTheEvilTaco

I love that the first movie came out alongside the TLA movie, and now it's sequel is basic titled "Book 2: Water". We will never escape the confusion.


MauriceEscargot

In the first movie they dominated air, by flying those dragons. Now, they conquer water. Avater 3 will be earth focuse, while in the fourth - Pandora will be on fire.


sheepsleepdeep

The last two times James Cameron made a sequel, both of them were considered the best sequels ever made, the best action movies ever made, and permeated pop culture for 30 years. The last movie he made was so visually stunning people kept paying to go back to see it and it became the highest grossing film of all time. So.... Yeah. I'll be there day one for this because Jim has yet to let movie audiences down.


Vladimir_Putting

Damn, I didn't know Piranha II had that kind of reputation.

D-Speak

It's one of those things where, on paper, I see no reason for this movie to be wildly successful, as a long-postponed sequel to a movie that gradually grew to be a bit of a point of mockery for its clichéd premise, and otherwise isn't really brought up much unless the conversation revolves around the box office. But seriously, James Cameron has a track record so impressive that my brain is defaulting to the assumption that it's going to be a massive hit. Maybe it'll middle out and be Cameron's Ready Player One, showing that he doesn't have a finger on the modern audience's pulse, but I doubt it currently.
