Without a doubt, Avatar: The Path of Water It’s the movie of the moment. Its box office, curiosities, or the statements of James Cameron, its director, are among the most discussed topics on social networks. And it is precisely the filmmaker’s new words that have caught the attention of Internet users. It is well known that avatar 3 is filmed in its entirety, and that some scenes of avatar 4 They have already been worked on, what motivated James Cameron to make this decision?
During an interview for Entertainment Weekly, Cameron spoke about the process of filming scenes for the next installments of the saga. Although his justification makes sense, he also drew some comment for the words used to criticize another successful project: stranger things. Here their comments:
“If it had been the opposite, you get – and I love Stranger Things – but you get the Stranger Things effect, where they’re still supposed to be in high school, but they look like they are 27 years old. I love the program. Okay, we’ll suspend disbelief. We like the characters, but, you know,” she commented.
Cameron’s statement is interesting because it allows us to understand how much time he spent in post production. the path of water. According to the director, Jack Championwho plays Spider, she was twelve years old during the start of filming, and is now eighteen. According to some viewers, the growth of the actors is remarkable even when Cameron took care of all the details. Some point out that there are scenes in the first act where the actor looks much younger than at the end.
On the other hand, it should be remembered that Avatar 2 and 3 there won’t be a big time gap within the story, so the actors had to look pretty much the same at all times. In the case of avatar 4, the beginning will be located a short time after the previous film, but after that there will be a major jump in time. That explains why the production took advantage of the actors while they looked young.
Cameron’s urgency to film his actors at the right age also forced him to defy COVID. In the first months of 2020, when the pandemic began and New Zealand (where he filmed the films) established a severe confinement, the director sent a letter to the government of that country to allow him to film with all the necessary protocols. The reason? The aforementioned Jack Champion was growing by leaps and bounds and still had scenes to film. According to information from The Hollywood Reporter, the government agreed. James Cameron and a team of 31 people flew into the country on a single plane to complete filming for Avatar 3.
