Absolutely not! Still 930 something days until Avatar 2 afterall. I predict a larger network of fans after the first trailer hits then masses of converts / new users once it's killin it in cinema.

 

That quote being real is hilarious... A2 is going to be unreal.

Pretty sure that king ended up alone, powerless, and embittered on a desolate island in the South Atlantic.

How about this one?

 

 

 

That article is cool,

Cliff sounds like Jim's sorta guy

Eh.

 

 

 

I think a better analogy for Jim is Cinncinnatus. He briefly emerges to change the way the game is played, then wanders back to his fields (or deep sea diving) for a long while until needed once again.

The Titanic director was speaking to 1 NEWS Reporter Kimberlee Downs in Sydney at the launch of a walk-through experience documenting Cameron's deep ocean explorations, when she asked him about the influence of Maori culture in his Avatar films.

 

'I love the sound of the Maori language, so I introduced some of the sounds into naming the animals and the Navi language and so on, hopefully not to the level of cultural appropriation but more of an homage," Cameron said.

 

Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis, who plays the leader of an ocean going alien race modelled on Polynesian culture called the Reef People, helped the director create a haka for them in one of the new Avatar sequels.

"I want something that is somewhat like a haka but interpreted through different body structures and how we use the tail and he said [Cliff] 'I know exactly what to do' and I said 'is this ok should we check with the iwi on this?' and he said 'I think it's a great idea, lets just do it' so there you have it," Cameron recalled about the scene.

Cameron went on to say Maori would find many "familiar" things in the world of Avatar, outlining what a big impact New Zealand has had on him since he bought parcels of land in the Wairarapa region.

He also went on to say how he and his family are vegan and are using the land to research organic farming not using animals.

Cameron will move production on Avatar 2 and 3, which are being shot simultaneously, to Wellington next year. He will then spend close to a year in the capital city working with Weta Digital and Weta Workshop on the films.

I would prefer to see him put a gun on the table and say he's open to talk about anything

Can we give a shoutout to all the Cameron doubters who thought Avatar was going to bomb? Remember this video and the comments when you hear people say nobody cares about Avatar 2.

It's going to be even more fun when the doubters here get the heat put on them with A2's release.

Thanks for the laughs.....that was pretty good. If the poster who created this in Aug 2009 was sick of the hype I can't wait to see what they are going to do with the next one, Donald Trump would be good....

It got me thinking how many people will go to Avatarland before DEC 2020? It could seriously increase Avatar 2's dom by like $50m or something. People reeeeeeeally love the flight of passage.
