Avatar The Way of the Water is currently a sequel to the 2009 Avatar film. However, there have been some changes to the initial idea they had for the film.
Avatar cost $250 million to make
Right now, Avatar is one of the most expensive films made to date. James Cameron confirmed that making the film cost at least 250 million for production to take place.
Some of the film’s previous actors such as Zoe Saldanha, Kate Winslet, and Sigourney Weaver return to the franchise more than a decade after the film’s first installment and second film release.
Thus far, the description of the film reads, “Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of Water” begins to tell 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.”
According to Complex, James Cameron and the writers found it difficult to write the story within a trilogy and decided that the film would not be labeled or take the form of a trilogy.
Official Trailer
The new Avatar film is set at least ten years after the 2009 film installment. It will focus on the Sully family and the challenges that the family face in their lives.
In the trailer, the Na’Vi people face an incredible threat after their land is invaded by robots. The trailer currently features the Na’Vi people flying through the clouds with some sort of flying creatures in the sky.
As for James Cameron, the producer and filmmaker are hoping that the film lives up to the franchise’s previous achievements. This comes as the film became the highest-grossing film of all time in 2009.
In terms of the plot, not much is revealed in the trailer and the information given in the description. However, Avatar is expected to be in cinemas on the 16th of December so fans will figure this out soon enough.
