James Cameron:
"It was a year and a half to generate three scripts and then six months for me to realize that the first sequel script needed to be two movies.
Then 18 months for me to go back and redraft and personally write all four of the shooting scripts, including the split of the first sequel.
The new film is much, much more nuanced in terms of performance, much more complex emotionally, i think, than the first film by a country mile, maybe an order of magnitude.
Not to diminish the first film but... that was more about the awe and wonder.
This second film is more about the characters."
It's going to do big numbers in countries like this compared to the first film.
After watching the trailers, it almost looks like a rehash of the first film story, but now with more water and better cgi, hope its not.
The more water part sounds good.After watching the trailers, it almost looks like a rehash of the first film story, but now with more water and better cgi, hope its not.
You would think, but movie merchandise isn't what it used to be. For example, for the first movie Avatar had a whole line of action figures from Mattel but for this movie there's only a small line of figures that are geared more towards collectors than kids. There weren't Avatar Lego sets in 2009 like there are now but again those are bought by collectors more given the price range.This is also the kind of movie that will do very well with selling merchandise and stuff around it so they'll be fine.
This looks so mid.
Just booked my tickets for 6am on the 17th!
Yep they do them at my local. For IW on opening day I went for a midnight showing and then home and back for a 6am showing, and then back again for a 3rd showing (can't remember exact time for that one) before travelling to Edinburgh for hols in early afternoon. #whateverittakesThere’s a 6am showing?!
