On December 16, we will be able to watch the most anticipated sequel of all time. James Cameron is directing the first, second, and potential third and fourth installments. Production of Avatar 3 has actually already been completed, and work on 4 has recently started. However, not everything is as simple as it may seem.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter , the director said that Avatar: The Essence of Water would have to do very well in the market to finalize the sequels.
We’ll probably finish the third movie regardless, because everything is already shot. Now let’s hope we can tell the whole story, because five is better than four, four is better than three, and three is better than two.
– he told industry representatives about the next productions
It turns out that Disney has already allocated as much as $ 100 million for Avatar ‘s budget!
The director also talked about the difficulties of making films. Due to the availability of actors, the scenes of the individual parts had to be recorded together.
I said, let’s treat it like it’s a six-hour miniseries and we’ll only go to Frankfurt once. We’ll be shooting all scenes from 2 and 3 at the same time. That was more or less the leitmotif. The availability of actors was also a problem. Anything that had to be done with a specific actor, we did all the scenes for 2 and 3 together – and a bit of 4. Because once again I had to take the kids into account. They’re entitled to the age of six in the middle of the story, so I needed everything before that and everything after we’ll do later.
