The big-screen epic "Avatar: The Way of Water" has been confirmed to be released nationwide on December 16 and landed in IMAX theaters. Following the stunning "Avatar", legendary filmmaker James Cameron has forged his painstaking work, exploring the whole new frontier of the planet Pandora, and continuing to write a magnificent epic story.
It is reported that in order to welcome this film event, IMAX specially released the "Avatar: The Way of Water" concept visual poster. The poster is themed on the underwater secrets of the planet Pandora, where alien sea creatures that once existed only in the imagination swim vividly in the deep sea corner, combining imagination and breathtaking beauty, making people think of how fantastic Pandora Ocean World will be in IMAX theaters. The IMAX logo standing on the bottom of the sea conveys a distinct three-dimensional sense with the sea beasts passing around, highlighting the irreplaceable presence advantage of the big screen over the small screen viewing.
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is undoubtedly the most topical giant in the world film industry in recent years. The previous work "Avatar" surprised the world as soon as it came out, not only promoting epoch-making changes in film technology, but also setting off a wave of movie-watching that swept the world, triggering phenomenal social topics beyond the scope of the industry, and bringing the IMAX viewing experience to many Chinese audiences for the first time, and many IMAX audiences still remember the grandeur of that year. As a world-renowned legendary filmmaker, James Cameron is known for his excellence and talent for "shooting is a classic", and his polished "Avatar: The Way of Water" has been continuously anticipated by hundreds of millions of fans around the world for many years and is recognized as a must-see blockbuster on the big screen.
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is set more than ten years after the plot of the previous work, and many of the original cast of "Avatar" have returned. Jack and Netteri start a family and move to live near the water to avoid the threat of RDA mining operations, and they also take in a human child, "Spider". However, the crisis does not dissipate, and the Sally family does their best to protect each other and fight to survive, embarking on an adventure and epic war in the secret waters of Pandora. "Avatar: The Way of Water" will take the audience to the previously hidden waters of Pandora Planet, deep into the majestic deep ocean, and encounter never-before-seen marine life at zero distance.
Director Cameron's meticulous design and imagination will be vividly displayed with the help of the large screen, the audience will seem to be truly swimming in the gorgeous ocean of Pandora, dancing with fantasy behemoths at zero distance, driving amphibious sea beasts between the sea and sky, and will reap the thrill of watching movies in the fiercely escalating alien war.
Director Cameron expressed his confidence in "Avatar 2" in an interview, "Avatar 2" spans two worlds, some stories that take place on Earth, and I have built a colorful and rich planet with multiple ecosystems. There's a lot of backstory, a rich culture, and different levels of technology. To give viewers a taste of the real planet Pandora, Cameron also invited astrophysicists, anthropologists, music professors and archaeologists to participate. These experts used their expertise to perfect Pandora's atmospheric density, create three-tone Na'vi music, and examine the history and social structure of the Na'vi people to perfect the fictional elements in the film.
"Avatar 2" is 190 minutes long, half an hour longer than the first one. Cameron said that this is because "Avatar 2" focuses more on character relationships and emotions, "because it needs to serve more characters and more stories." Taking the opportunity to promote the new movie, Cameron also expressed his dissatisfaction with Hollywood superhero blockbusters. He believes that most of the characters in those films lack emotional depth and appear irresponsible: "No matter how old they are, they act like college students." He didn't think that was the "way of making films" he identified with.
In terms of actors, in addition to the return of the original cast, there are also new actors joining. Cameron previously personally announced that Kate Winslet will play a character named Ronal in Avatar 2. "Kate and I have been talking about working together again since Titanic, and 20 years have passed, and this time it has finally come true." In addition, Michelle Yeoh will play a scientist in the film, and actors such as David Hewlis, Vin Diesel, and Chaplin's granddaughter Ona Chaplin will join.
"Avatar 2" has a large number of underwater shooting scenes, not only to use professional underwater shooting equipment, Cameron also created a set of motion capture system specially prepared for underwater shooting, restoring the real scene of underwater diving. The crew specially prepared a huge tank with 900,000 gallons of seawater to simulate ocean currents to the greatest extent. Cameron said: "In fact, whatever problem encounters water, it is ten times more difficult than before. The actors of "Avatar 2" are all trained and have diving licenses, and Kate Winslet once said in an interview: "The longest time I held my breath was 7 minutes and 14 seconds, which was crazy." ”
The birth of "Avatar" in 2009 brought subversive changes to the creation, technology, concept, box office, etc. of the film. "Avatar" opened the IMAX + 3D film technology revolution, breaking more than 100 box office records around the world, with a total box office of 2.923 billion US dollars, making it still the box office champion in global film history today.
As a "technology madman", Cameron still wants to subvert this time. In his opinion, the 3D craze at the screening of "Avatar" is outdated, so "Avatar 2" will become the world's first glasses-free 3D movie. The film will provide bright images at a high frame rate, which will make it possible to watch 3D movies without the need for 3D glasses, presenting a wonderful world that is both real and fantastic. "Avatar 2" will be released in Chinese mainland in full formats such as 3D, IMAX 3D, CINITY, and Chinese giant screen.
"Avatar 2" can be called the strongest "ticket king" in history. As early as 2010, director Cameron confirmed that there would be a sequel to "Avatar", and there would be two, the second and third filmed at the same time, and he expected the second part to be released in 2014. However, "Avatar 2" only officially started filming in September 2017, and in September 2020, Cameron announced that live-action shooting was completed. For the distant release time, netizens even played a homophonic meme, "When will "Avatar 2" be released?" Who knows (the way of water)? "So when the official announcement of the final file news really came out, it immediately aroused everyone's high enthusiasm. On the Maoyan platform, the number of people who want to watch "Avatar 2" has exceeded 600,000 in just a few hours, and it has now reached 720,000.
Cameron believes that the global success of "Avatar" is due to the film's construction of "dreamlike feelings" that allow viewers to reach the safety they want to be. "Whether it's the feeling of freedom and excitement that comes with flying, or being in the deep woods where you can smell the earth, provides a deep sensory connection. This is the spirit of Avatar. ”
"Avatar 2" is more than 3 hours long, and 5 years after the first part, the story tells that Jack has become the patriarch of the Na'vi clan, forms a family with Nietini and has a pair of lovely children. Until one day, a brother of a tribe died unexpectedly, shattering their peaceful life, and Jack, who has a sense of reconnaissance and experience, guesses that there is a human avatar mixed into the tribe. This time, James Cameron moved the planet Pandora to the Mariana Trench, about 7 miles under the sea, and built a special deep-sea submarine worth $5 million during the filming. In addition to the return of the first actor such as Sam Worthington, Kate Winslet, Michelle Yeoh, Vin Diesel, etc. will also appear in the second part.
