More than eyeing to match or surpass the box-office success of “Avatar” as the most successful film in history, Director James Cameron wants viewers to enjoy “Avatar 2” in the most interactive way possible.
He has been employing state-of-the-art filming technology in the shooting of not just the sequel but also the next two films of the franchise – “Avatar 3” and “Avatar 4.”
These were, in fact, the reasons why from a 2016 playdate, “Avatar 2” has been moved to a December 2017 release to global theaters. “Avatar 3” and “Avatar 4” will come out to cinemas in December 2018 and December 2019, respectively.
In another recent interview, Cameron said that it is mainly because of the technological constraints given the advanced technology and filmmaking equipment needed for the filming, that prompted them to push back the release date of the movie.
Cameron said that he wanted to show a novel ecosystem in Pandora which means various underwater scenes that needed cutting-edge motion capture technology for higher frame rates, sharper visuals, and realism.
The director added that he wants nothing but the best for “Avatar 2” and that is why he is not pressured into releasing the sequel to the most successful film in history based on ever growing fan clamor.
Instead, he is taking his sweet time in making a really good movie, perhaps even thinking of equalling or surpassing the feat of “Avatar” when it was released in 2009.
