They reveal he wrote a full script that bridges ‘Avatar’ and ‘Avatar: The Manner of Water.’
For many years, James Cameron has been engaged on constructing the world of Avatar, a franchise that he actually is aware of higher than anybody else. Cameron wrote the primary draft of Avatar in 1994, and this lush world he’s created shall be even additional explored in Avatar: The Manner of Water, and the a number of deliberate sequels. Whereas this sequence of movies will definitely broaden what we learn about this universe, Cameron is aware of a lot about this sequence that Cameron has even written a script tying collectively the primary and second movies that we are going to by no means see.
In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, Sam Worthington (Jake Sully) and Zoe Saldaña (Neytiri) mentioned this full script that Cameron confirmed them to assist fill within the gaps of the occasions between Avatar and The Manner of Water. When requested if that they had smaller backstory particulars or experiences that they got here up with to tell their performances within the films, Worthington replied, “Jim [Cameron] gave us a script of 1.5 that he wrote that reveals the time between Avatar and Avatar: The Manner of Water, and he wrote a full script.”
Worthington continued on to clarify that Cameron gave it to him and mentioned, “‘Look, learn this. We’ll fill within the blanks of what Jake’s been doing.’ I mentioned, ‘When will we shoot this one? As a result of that is wonderful.’ He goes, ‘No, no, that’s simply one thing I wrote over the previous 12 months to provide you his backstory.’”
Whereas The Manner of Water does give audiences an concept of what has occurred between the 2 movies, particularly Jake and Neytiri elevating their 4 kids, and their life after combating the people, it sounds as if Cameron has a whole movie’s value of fabric that we’d by no means see. Contemplating The Manner of Water takes place over a decade after Avatar, there are a number of movies value of tales to be advised, and who is aware of if Cameron will ever discover a motive to launch this script to the general public.
Worthington continued to say that he lent the script to Zoe, who says “It was wonderful.” Worthington says that he thinks Zoe misplaced the script, to which she mentioned, “No, I’ve it,” and said, “I simply by no means returned it. I used to be like, ‘I’m retaining this.’”
Even when we by no means see this Avatar 1.5 (leak the script, Saldaña!), there’s nonetheless loads of Avatar to return. After the discharge of The Manner of Water, Avatar 3 is scheduled to be launched on December 18, 2026, with Avatar 4 deliberate for December 22, 2028. Past that, Cameron can also be hoping to make Avatar 5, though that can doubtless rely on the success of the primary three sequels. But when these sequels do in addition to the primary movie, possibly Avatar 1.5 may get made in some capability as effectively.
