i hope it's like the master in doctor who in the 70s ("The Master? I thought you were dead?" "Aha, No!") so he just gets killed in every movie and keeps coming back with no explanation.

They killed Quaritch! Those bastards!

That just sounds bad. Stephen Lang as the villain was probably one of the weaker aspects of the film. He was just really one dimensional. To have him back for all the sequels they definitely have to make him a lot more interesting.

IMO he's one of the stronger aspects. He's one dimensional but he's one badass villain. He's like T-800 in Terminator 1, whose sole purpose is to overpower you and fuck things up.

 

The real weak bad-guy link is Giovanni Ribisi's character. He's also corporation-hired but he doesn't want to see things get too ugly. That character should've had a bit more to it. But then that is mainly due to the lack of explaination of that evil mining company RDA and its connection with the Earth. This is actually the part that I look forward to the most from the sequels. After watching all the fancy stuff on Pandora, I'd love to see what's really going on on the Earth. We had a glimpse of it in Avatar 1 but obviously there are a hell lot more that could be done in the sequels.

Lang was awesome but I'm a bit puzzled how this is going to happen

[The Panda]

I'll be honest, the biggest weak link for Avatar is the characters in general.  None of them stick out for me, I just kind of see the movie as blue people vs. white people.

Cameron is said to be pretty chill guy, I am surprised.

Good for Brolin.  Cameron has been known to get a little "heated" when it comes to making movies, but if Brolin's take on what happened is real, Cameron didn't need to be that petty. Oh well, I 'm sure both are happy where they are so not too big of a deal 

[Cochofles]

Lang was just one of a whole bunch of AWESOME aspects of Avatar.

Cannot wait for the sequels to open, so we can see what filmmaking awesomeness and box office slayage is all about.

[AniNate]

Lang filled the single-minded general archetype pretty well. I think there's potential in the sequels for playing with that mindset from a place of humility, especially if he has to end up an avatar.

Well, Sean Connery turned down Gandalf. Wouldn't be the first stupid decision...

Well there's a difference. One is a new project that many doubted, another is the sequel to the highest grossing film of all time.

 

But I dont trust that article. The original article basically says "Kosinsk says Brolin told him he turned Cameron down." I dont know the credibility of Esquire.com, but I tend to not 100% believe in anything from the internet these days, unless it has an official source or in this case let's say there's video that can prove it. There're just too many fake stuff in this internet era. There actually have been tons of those that were proven wrong or fake, so better keep a sharp eye on these stuff.

Cameron can be no chill at times it seems. The quote about Verhoeven in that article is one of my all time favorites

Brolin doesn't need it.  I say that as a believer these films will deliver.

I reckon he's going to want to try out some less mainstream roles with audience goodwill built up after next year.

Brolin was just afraid of Cameron. He made Ed Harris cries like a wimpy snapper and got into Ahnuld's face like a bad mofo taking no shit from anybody on set so Brolin is peanut butter.
