Apparently they already do hold more stake in the franchise.

Right, I forgot about that.

 

Either way, I really do hope Disney doesnt buy Fox. More studios is better and besides, Fox is becoming the most underrated studio in the world.

I'm hoping for some great visuals, imagery, and even some superb action sequences with that "tech" stuff. Sounds super-promising anyway.

Namor comes to mind, but the rights are in endless loop with Universal, who refuse to give them up, despite doing nothing with the character. 

I have googled it and read that Namor's filming rights are back to Disney/Marvel since 2016.

That's exactly the reason why Disney should buy Fox now, when Fox is at a low creative/business moment, when you can buy "cheap". And also because Disney is mostly interested in getting Fox's filmic archive for their upcoming streaming service in 2019. Not to mention Avatar, X-Men and full StarWars franchise rights (Ep I to VI).

I'm just gonna say the thought of kids having learned to stay 3-4 minutes underwater really unnerves me and I hope that filming goes perfectly smooth.

look cameron's all about escalation and raising the stakes. trying to drown ed harris every day was fine in the 80s but now it's gotta be a group of kids for anyone to care.

Just looked it up as well, and yep Marvel finally has the rights back mostly. They haven't gotten a film rolling yet. If anything it wouldn't surprise me if they debuted Namor in a TV show or after phase 3, first as a supporting character.

The underwater tech should keep them safe, but knowing Cameron, he'll probably go overboard like he did in The Abyss.

Yep, totally agreed. I know "Trust in Cameron" is the bromide of choice, but he damn well better know what he's doing here.

Insurance costs being what they are in 2017, I'm positive that every precaution is being taken to ensure the safety of everyone working in the tank.

How does Disney hold more stakes in Avatar than Fox?

I'm sure that they have a ton of precautions in place. Being someone who can't swim, it freaks me out somehow.

You re all talking out of your ass, like yeah, shooting for 6 months,12 hours a day scuba dive scenes for The Abyss was done gonzo style without safety measures whatsoever.

Sure.

Like @CoolioD1 said in one of the thirty JL threads that's how you know theyre going all-out with the underwater stuff here

Their investment in that Avatar World at Disney Land. The paid $500m to build it.

[CoolioD1]

if he hasn't actually perfected that Abyss breathing liquid by 2020 then mark this up as a failure. by 2025 they're gonna be handing it out to audiences in cinemas and we're all gonna be watching avatar 5 underwater. that's the plan, i believe.

Not enough to keep Ed Harris from punching Cameron, apparently.

I implied no such thing. That doesn't mean there is no risk.

Cameron has spent half his life under the sea.

I guess he s going for the stasis, lack of gravity you feel when you scuba dive, he wants the audience to feel what it s like to be one with the sea when you watch the movie, to connect with mother! like we did in the womb of our mothers.

 

It s crazy these movies have taken so long because of this exact Cameron wish/demand : underwater mo-cap or bust.

Each time there was an interview about those films, the R&D argument to find a way to do under water mo-cap was mentionned.

 

Cameron movies always have a never seen before aspect top them, that s what excites him in the morning, doing something deemed impossible and never been done before him.

 

Let s see what the crazy canuck has in store this time.

 

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the creatures and I have to wonder how the Na'vi deal with the water version of a Thanator, we might see a few humans get munched up for lunch.....

dude had to act in a helmet full of water for long stretches of that flick. there's no health and safety precaution that makes that not fucking insane.
