(Observer Network) According to US media Variety, after 13 years, the sequel of " Avatar " directed by James Cameron has returned and is scheduled to be released in North America in December. I am afraid that the audience will forget the previous story. The 4K audio and picture remake of "Avatar" will also be re-screened in North America on September 23.
Cameron recently revealed in an interview with "New York Times " that when filming "Avatar", the 20th Century Fox Films (acquired by Disney in 2019 and is now renamed "20th Century Pictures") asked him to shorten the length of the film and delete the 天文女 flight shot, but he retorted: "The building we meet now costs $500 million, and it was paid (using) "Titanic" (the money earned), so (Avatar) does what I said."
"Avatar", which premiered in 2009, received more than $2.847 billion (about 20 billion yuan) in the world, and is still at the top of the global movie box office list. On September 23 this year, the 4K version of "Avatar" will be re-screened in North America, pre-heating the "Avatar 2" released on December 16.
According to the American game and entertainment media website IGN on September 20, recently, 68-year-old Cameron revealed that he was "a little nervous" before he started remake of "Avatar", because there are many special effects movies now, and he doesn't know if the reprinted version can gain a foothold in the market. But he said he was not nervous now because the final production effect surprised him.
Cameron also said in an interview with The New York Times that he was very happy that Avatar could re-enter the theater. Since the movie was released on discs and streaming online, "young fans have never had the chance to see it in the theater. Although they think they have seen the movie, they have not actually seen it." Cameron believes that only by going to the cinema to see the 3D effect can you truly feel the movie.
was asked when looking back at "Avatar" now, "whether there are any details that I want to change", Cameron said he didn't have that idea. He had already struggled for the pictures left by each frame and was very satisfied with the "creative decisions" he made. The re-release version only upgraded the small details such as the character's face. He believed that the first "Avatar" is "still competitive".
Cameron also revealed that when he was producing "Avatar", he had disagreements with 20th Century Fox Films, and he needed to strive to ensure the presentation of some elements.
He gave an example that the producer believed that the length of the movie (released version is 162 minutes) should be shortened, and believed that the flying winged carnivore (a flying winged carnivore that can be tamed by Na Beauty ) was "too many" images, and hoped that he would delete it.
Cameron recalled that he said to the producer at that time: "Do you know? I filmed "Titanic". The building we meet now, the building on your plot that cost $500 million was paid for by "Titanic", so (Avatar) do what I said."
Cameron said that the audience survey conducted by the film crew after "Avatar" was released, showing that the protagonist was flying on a scattered stream beast, which was the audience's "favorite" scene, and the producer later thanked him for his insistence.
"I think my job is to protect their investment, so they often need to deny their judgment. But as long as I let their investment not lose money, everything can be forgiven."
As for the sequel, Cameron introduced to IGN that the story of "Avatar: Way of Water" took place 15 years after the first part, and the male and female protagonists formed a family and had children.
"This is not a Heman movie (a streaming media that provides a suitable film and television work for family viewing) family or Disney family, it is a family with a lot of problems, but in the end there is a core that family members will draw strength from the family, and I think this is something that is essentially different from the first movie," Cameron said.
