“Right now we are planning our 3-D tour movie and James Cameron is directing it,” will.i.am tells VIBE. “We have the biggest director because we are the biggest group on the planet. The Peas are filming it in South America. People will be able to see us in the theater with the 3-D glasses and everything.""There will be a storyline that Cameron came up with, which will be dope," the BEP frontman continues. "It’s a full-length film and it's based around our tour activities. We’ve toured from America and Europe, to the Middle East, South America, Asia and Africa. It’s not like we go, 'Yo, we are international, you know what I’m saying? London and Paris!' Nah, that’s just two cities. We want to go across the planet.”

“I can tell you one thing about them,” Cameron laughs when Empire nonchalantly enquiries about storylines. “They’re gonna be bitchin’. You will shit yourself with your mouth wide open.”

Well, something has to support the Disney park in progress.
Cameron: You should make a Disney park based on "Avatar!"Disney: What's "Avatar?"Cameron: You know, the movie with the blue people?Disney: "The Smurfs?"Cameron: No, the other one. It made a billion dollars!Disney: So did "Frozen." I think we'll make a "Frozen" park.Cameron: Wait, wait! Does "Frozen" have ... a sequel?Disney: Of course it does. We have at least one in the pipes, maybe two.Cameron: Well, what f I told you "Avatar" had ... [looks at accountants and lawyers, who shake their heads cautiously) three sequels? [accountant slaps head]Disney: Well, Jim, I would say that's starting to sound like some Disney numbers. Does it have a princess?Cameron: It does!Disney: We're in. Someone go tell Elsa the bad news that she's going to Epcot's Norway pavillion. Jim and I have to get to work spending some blue money.

I feel in his heart of hearts Cameron would have preferred to just make an IMAX movie of people scuba diving, but he probably also thinks millions of people around the planet have been wondering what's up the magical world of Avatar and its colorful characters.

“We’re in a different world now than we were when I wrote this stuff, even,” Cameron continues. “It’s the one-two punch—the pandemic and streaming. Or, conversely, maybe we’ll remind people what going to the theatre is all about. This film definitely does that. The question is: How many people give a shit now?”

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER: Yeah never bet against James Cameron. Trying to spare hyperbole, but I’ve never seen anything like this from a technical, visual standpoint. It’s overwhelming.

These post screening "first reactions" dumps are always the same. "Cameron's best movie yet!" Like, no one thought it wouldn't look cool, no one thought Cameron was going to shit out some totally inept effort. Looking cool and being well-made are the minimal Cameron standards. Lately (which is to say, his last 30 years/three films), good acting and story and writing ... not so much. And those are the things that will keep me away, not the run-time.

The first avatar definitely one of those movies that looked ridiculous in the trailer and then wound up being genuinely good and even likable in its sincere willingness to appear silly and have the audience identify wholly with a newly created alien species and against the human villains. I agree with some of the consensus that the first film maybe didn’t have some sort of massive pop culture impact but that may also be due to the overwhelming ubiquity of the Disney machine taking up a lot of the air in the room w marvel and Star Wars. At the same time it really was a singularly massive success and that success is probably even more impressive considering its lack of ties to any pre-existing material.

For future installments, Cameron will build a series of 100 GIMAX theaters — 32 stories tall, a city block wide — equipped with fully mobile seats that will rise, fall, and swoop through the air. It will raise the cost of the next film to $12 billion, everyone will make fun of him, and then he will gross $25 billion.

For all its prettiness, a sad lack of imagination on display in this. The new Na'avi are just wet Maori stereotypes, and having them all talking English just lays bare how they're completely mundanely human in emotions and thought. The animals are all familiar aquatic animals with bits from other familiar species bolted on. They don't come up with anything really alien at all.
