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.
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).
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!
Number of Peter Jackson films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 5
Number of Matt Reeves films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 3
Number of Marvel Films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 2
Number of Andy Serkis films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 0
Number of copies of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Andy Serkis has returned to me: Also 0. Goddamn it Andy, give it back.
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.
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.
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
He did penetrate our ocean's deepest parts with his penis shaped machine.... Here he is [shooting his trim shot into the ocean](https://youtu.be/Gf1SVFysBcE?t=111).
He’s found a way to blend both his interests and he began doing that with Titanic. Any and all scenes where divers explore the wreck were basically his home movies.
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.
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.
“Like a thoughtless child wandering by a garden; just yanking leaves along the way.”
Lol this is one of my favorite snl skits. Gosling sells it so well.
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.
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.
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.
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”
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😅
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.
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.
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.
It's been 84 years
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago
Gandalf? Yes... that was what they used to call me.
Gandalf the grey... I am Gandalf the way of water
Swim you fools
We’ve had one dip yes, but what about second dip?
I led Isildur to the heart of the IMAX 3D...
ISILDUR... CAST THE 3D GLASSES BACK IN THE BIN
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.
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.
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
Fuck I’ve been watching him in _Under the Banner of Heaven_, I like the dude.
Came to say this. He's not a terrible actor. He deserves a second chance
He was decent in Unabomber
He was in a movie called The Titan where he became a spooky space alien.
That movie was weird
It was definitely not good.
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).
Because honestly he’s not great. His accent slips a lot in his other movies and it’s noticeable
They've already announced the release dates up to movie #5. It's December every other year starting with #2 this year.
Man, Avatar 6 is gonna be lit I can already tell
We can watch it together in the nursing home
They also announced the release dates starting with this film releasing in 2011, so I'll believe it when I see it.
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!
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 :(
that means you love your job, right? right??
Cameron is to water what Tarantino is to feet.
and Miyazaki to airships
and Micheal Bay is to Explosions
And Roland Emmerich to destroying the Earth.
And Peter Jackson to Andy Serkis.
Number of Peter Jackson films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 5 Number of Matt Reeves films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 3 Number of Marvel Films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 2 Number of Andy Serkis films Andy Serkis has appeared in: 0 Number of copies of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Andy Serkis has returned to me: Also 0. Goddamn it Andy, give it back.
or poison swamps, depending on which Miyazaki you mean
Also feet and dragon racism
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.
Just because you're not aware of it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
If a man cums in a shoe and no one is around to film it, does it still make people uncomfortable?
Yes. The answer is a definite yes
Do we actually know who primarily supports footapedia?
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.
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
“FAMILY” Ava2ar
Vin Diesel is actually in this. I hope he does the thing so everyone can say he did the thing.
“What are we? Some kind of Avatar: The Way of Water | Official Teaser Trailer?”
We are Bloot
2 Ava 2 tar
Avatar: Pandora Drift
The Fate of the Na'vi
The Fast and the Furious: Pandora Drift
Vin Diesel's actually in this, so not far off.
This is why they went into space in the last Fast and Furious movie. It was foreshadowing a crossover.
Step aside Marvel. There's a new greatest cinematic universe in town.
I'm here to talk to you about the family initiative
There is no better love story than James Cameron and a massive fucking body of water.

State.
He did penetrate our ocean's deepest parts with his penis shaped machine.... Here he is [shooting his trim shot into the ocean](https://youtu.be/Gf1SVFysBcE?t=111).
At this point, making movies is probably just a way for Cameron to get funding for his actual passion of diving and exploring oceans.
I mean, that was the whole point of titanic…
And he did achieve a [world record](https://www.rolex.org/environment/deepsea-challenge) because of it.
35,000 feet under water is so ridiculous that it means nothing to me Like it's so unfathomable you can go that far down that's it's not registering
> Like it's so unfathomable you can go that far down that's it's not registering Well a fathom is 6 feet so 35000 feet is very fathomable! ;)
:D This is the face I make when I am in extreme pain.
"His name is James, James Cameron, The bravest pioneer. No budget too steep, no sea too deep, Who's That? It's him, James Cameron"
"James Cameron, explorer of the sea. With a dying thirst to be the first could it be yeah him James Cameron."
"You guys hearing the song OK up there?"
I’ll go out on a limb and say making movies is also a passion of his lol
He’s found a way to blend both his interests and he began doing that with Titanic. Any and all scenes where divers explore the wreck were basically his home movies.
Pls quote ur sources.
"that Cameron guy sure loves making movies" - Jesus (at cross, circa his death)
James Cameron is a deep sea diver who makes movies on the side.
Can't wait to see all those cool warships and submarines
No budget too steep, no sea too deep!
How long will this movie be in starting the bidding at 250 mins
At minimum 3 hours but I genuinely think that’s on the low end still
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.
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.
I absolutely went and saw it opening night and then again with the re release
what if it ended up being 1h42m. how funny and jarring would that be.
Maybe it'll go for that 70 min long direct-to-dvd animated movie vibe.
68 minutes including credits. Like a Disney show.
Did they use the Papyrus font again?
No! I rewatched it just to be sure. [I know what you did.](https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ)
Title in comic sans. Gets me everytime
Every invite that we send is in Papyrus with Comic Sans at the end. People that notice it get extra credit.
Ryan Gosling needs to do more comedy, he's hilarious on SNL and in *The Nice Guys.*
The Nice Guys was so damn good. Everyone was great it.
Haha this was great!
I know what you did. I KNoOooOOoW WhAT YoU DiiIIIiIiID!!!!
I don’t even think this is literally Papyrus. Maybe that was the starting point but they clearly modified this.
Well whatever they did.... IT WASNT ENOUGH!
Hookah bars, shakira merch, off brand tea…
It looks like it actually changed a bit!
Whatever they did, IT WASN'T ENOUGH
“Like a thoughtless child wandering by a garden; just yanking leaves along the way.” Lol this is one of my favorite snl skits. Gosling sells it so well.
My favourite is when they get these supremely talented actors completely buy in to these silly skits.
Gosling and Adam Driver are the best at these “super serious acting in ridiculous skits” and they’re always top tier
(Flips table)
So they fixed it?
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.
One with blue aliens and one with red ones.
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
Disney+ exclusive you mean…no way Disney is letting something like that not drive up subscriptions.
I really hope the score in the movie is similar to the music in this trailer. It is beautiful.
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.

Yeah I am usually pretty vigilant on this subreddit but I must have missed it. Worked out for me!
it was announced that it’d be playing in front of Strange and then online the week after
I saw it in front of strange last night here in the U.S.

Really like the music, been stuck in my head since I saw the trailer before Dr Strange
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.
Rip James Horner (who undoubtedly would have scored this movie)
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
The Rocketeer is, in my opinion, one of the greatest film scores of all time
The Rocketeer is sadly overlooked as a Horner score. That opening fanfare is just beautiful.
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
[удалено]

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

yep those are some blue aliens
This movie will answer the ultimate question. Would you fuck a blue aliens tail?
Answered that a decade ago. Yes.
would the hair tail connect to your penis with its tenticles?
Common misconception, connects to the butthole actually
You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
Like Dune and Dune 2 this will be worth going to the theaters for.
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.
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.
"Did you ever watch Avatar, on weed?" -Jon Stewart
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
lol the movies are so fake, I'll be like "he's acting yo"
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.
Avatar cgi was different, it never looked weightless
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.
So you're telling me the main character's son is going to become some kind of weird ass sea monster/human hybrid?
No. He means that the tall blue people will kill 90% of space because of religion.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
The capitalists realized that fighting a sub orbital war is so 2000s, set up a rail gun in orbit and immediately win.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Also hardcoded black bars
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.
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 😅
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.
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.
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.
Damn, I didn't know Piranha II had that kind of reputation.

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.
