Avatar: The Way of Water | 16 DEC 2022 | Don't worry guys, critics like it

I wonder if the anticipation and fandom will die down enough to hurt it at the box office.

I say yes. I see a significant drop-off. At the moment, I'm predicting $400-$450M for Avatar 2

History has told us, twice, that Cameron doesnt need a fvcking high anticipation to produce astronomical numbers.

[vc2002]

interesting doc made by Keanu Reeves, as himself interviewing these giants in movie business talking about digital vs. film. Holy shit I hope we can get this documentary as soon as possible.

Keep waiting...keep waiting...

He's texting from down there! ;)James Cameron (@JimCameron)3/25/12 2:59 PMJust arrived at the ocean's deepest pt. Hitting bottom never felt so good. Can't wait to share what I'm seeing w/ you @DeepChallenge

[Elessar]

Heh, just wanted to post the tweet. It's kinda funny, imagining him tweeting from the deepest point in the world.

http://news.yahoo.com/james-cameron-begins-dive-deepest-spot-earth-201353959.htmlLooks like he will be there for 6 hrs, and then the ascent takes 70 minutes. So crazy!

[kayumanggi]

Congratulations. Now, AVATAR ll please.

[Dementeleus]

The quick @JimCameron summary: basically, Tony Stark, if he made films instead of weapons.

Congratulations. Now, AVATAR ll please.

I think this is part of it

[riczhang]

Avatar II is supposed to be about Pandora's oceans right?

[Dementeleus]

Yeah, he's got a RED Epic camera rig down there. I suppose he could actually use the footage for A2... but I suspect he'll use it more for research into how/what it should look like. (He's also shooting footage for Nat Geo too).

[AniNate]

Yeah, he's not actually doing a scene down there, but I'm sure it will influence creature designs and geography.

[fishstick]

He`s a total legend and trully unique individual. More power to him. I hope he`ll release some footage. It`s totally amazing that he`s doing this dangerous as shit stuff for the benefit of science. he even worked on designing the sub like he worked on designing cameras and other tech. Just incredible, versatile, balls of steel man.

[riczhang]

He's doing some footage for Nat Geo, so I'm assuming we'll see that footage in the near future...

[Dementeleus]

Yeah, Nat Geo and Rolex (!) are co-financing the dive (along with Cameron's own investment), so there'll be a documentary on it coming out at some point.

[fishstick]

I`ve always been madly in love with him. What charisma, what courage, what a genius, what a man.
