Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the breathtaking backdrop of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures that populate the majestic oceans

James Cameron discusses “Avatar: The Way of Water”
“We had to write four movies before I could start on the first sequel.”
“I wanted to map out all the stories and then get the economy of scale of capturing the actors across multiple films and then filming the live action. The thinking was we could consolidate the different stages of production together—performance capture, live action, and then post-production.”
“With ‘Avatar’ and where I’ve chosen to take the story and open up the landscape and the characters that I’ve brought in and some of the questions that get asked, I don’t feel there’s anything that I need to say cinematically that I will not say across these four films”
“You go into a movie theater, and you’re being transported to a fictional fantasy world. The more you can suspend your disbelief, the more fun it is. There’s almost a contract between the movie and the audience—we’re all just gonna join hands and skip off to Pandora together. It’s gonna be fun.”
“I tell people that Jim writes movies with themes that are bigger than their genre, and that’s why his movies resonate with people—and there’s no greater theme, universally, than family.”
“There’s pressure every day that you make a movie, but the pressure is the pressure that we put on ourselves”
“We want to push the boundaries of storytelling and captivating audiences. All that does is make us work harder.”
“We make movies for the big screen. Why do people turn to entertainment today? To escape. And you can only escape so far on your mobile device, or on a home big screen. When you go to the theater, you get lost in the images on screen, the characters, and the world of that movie. There’s nothing like it.”
“With 3D, High Dynamic Range, high framerate, we’re able to present a higher quality image today than we could on ‘Avatar’ by far”
“It goes beyond what was possible before, and we do all of this to service the narrative storytelling. It’s a window into another world.”
