The movie "Avatar", which was released 11 years ago, is currently being re-screened Chinese mainland, and the total box office of the re-release has exceeded 200 million yuan.
"Avatar" was re-released in the mainland, not only winning the Japanese box office in China, but also making it a global film box office champion again.
Chinese audiences are divided about the re-screening of the film more than a decade ago on the mainland. Some people think that this is its money in China, some people think that the film just wants to regain the championship position, and I think the reason why this film is re-screened is to warm up for "Avatar 2".
After all, more than a decade has passed since the release of "Avatar", and the audience has forgotten some of the plot of this film, so this re-screening can allow the audience to regain the plot and shock of the film of that year, and then they can continue to watch the next sequel.
Now "Avatar 2" is scheduled to be released in North America on December 16, 2022, not only this film, but also the three sequels of "Avatar 3", "Avatar 4" and "Avatar 5", which are also scheduled for December 20, 2024, December 18, 2026 and December 22, 2028, with a sequel every two years.
It is reported that the main shooting of "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3" has been completed and is currently in the post-special effects production stage.
Avatar 2 is subtitled The Way of water, and a lot of special effects shots will be done underwater. Avatar 3, subtitled The Seed Bearer, tells the story of former Marine Jack Sally, who was sent to work for a mining company on the planet Pandora.
It was reported a long time ago that the cast of the movie "Avatar 3" includes Chinese actress Yang Ziqiong, who will play a scientist Dr. Karina Mogue in this film.
Recently, Jon Landau, the producer of "Avatar", exposed a set photo of "Avatar 3", where actor Yang Ziqiong and director James Cameron were competing in Chinese kung fu.
Yang Ziqiong is the world's most well-known Chinese kung fu actress, who has collaborated with kung fu superstars such as Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao. He also played the role of Bang Girl in "007 Empire of Tomorrow", starring in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won many awards internationally. Therefore, Yang Ziqiong's international popularity is still very high, and the most iconic thing for her is Chinese kung fu.
From this set photo, we can also see Giovanni Rebisi, the actor who played the director Parker Cerfrich in Avatar. At the end of the first part, the character of Director Parker is finally forced back to Earth. Now that I see him on the set of "Avatar 3", it seems that he has also returned to the sequel.
There are still more than three years to go before the release of "Avatar 3", which means that we will have to wait more than three years to see the Faces of The Chinese in the "Avatar" series.
