This December 17, James Cameron will open a new chapter in the history of Pandora. 16 years after the release of the first film carried by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, the director will propose the third film devoted to Pandora and the struggle of his peoples against the human invader. A few hours after the publication of the first trailer forAvatar: fire and ashan exclusive interview withEmpire With James Cameron reveals the director’s plans for the future.
Unsurprisingly, and while many prints 20th Century Studios are exported beyond dark rooms, hatching derivative series and other additional productions is a possibility. The dad of Terminator Even details the projects envisaged and which have been the subject of discussion with the Disney parent company.
A format that is popular
While animation anthologies like Love, Death + Robots, Secret Levels or even Star Wars : Visions Have many followers on platforms, James Cameron plans to adopt this format to further explore his distant planet and his immense gallery of characters. He explains:
“I said: ‘Listen, I want to make a series of animated anthology which takes place mainly in this universe but with unexpected stories”.
Cameron even enters the detail, evoking the possibility for him to tell everything that is happening out of scope in his cinematographic saga. “Who landed first on Pandora? The first expedition. We can go where we want”. Cameron notably talks about the animatrixet series how it was used to add more density to the Lore. “These are excellent examples of how we can add texture and baroque details to the Avatar universe”.
A film in the cinema?
In addition to the prospect of flooding Disney+ unpublished episodes in the history of Avatar, the director and producer says he is ready to start the production of an animated film for Disney+ or obscure rooms. For the platform, it would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the success of Avatar in theaters and to capitalize on the brand to extricate the image of a destination for children, fans of Star Wars and Marvel.
The fact remains that, for some time, Disney+ has reduced the sail on the series derived from its success in the cinema. The recent audience failures at Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, as much as a difficulty in gathering in theaters as before, prompted Bob Iger to review his long -term strategy.
The room remains the priority and the series are more independent than in the past. Proof if the big screen was needed at the center of the priorities of the entertainment giant, the series The Mandalorian will come back to the cinema for what could well be his great final.
Where are we?
If the development and production of Avatar 3 and its consequences seem to greatly occupy the director, all his projects are still on the agenda according to his declarations. He nevertheless concedes that they are still only at the embryonic stadium.
“We haven’t advanced much. We are still bringing together our stories and this kind of thing. I have to find the filmmakers and the animators who want to take care of them”.
An upcoming outing ofAvatar The series is therefore not on the program but Disney and 20th Century Studios explore all the tracks to allow its most popular intellectual property (on the scale of two films) to attract new followers. It remains to be seen now, if, as with Marvel and Star Wars, Disney is the victim of its sin of gluttony.
