James Cameron’s subtle underwater influences in the blockbuster Avatar didn’t go unnoticed by us the first time around, and his love for scuba diving and the sea certainly won’t be missed by the millions of Avatar fans in the much awaited sequel. The Oscar-nominated director announced recently that a large part of Avatar 2 will take place in the teeming oceans of Pandora to create a brand new canvas for the environment of film.
Cameron was stated telling the LA Times Hero Complex blog- “Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment – a different setting within Pandora. And I’m going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won’t be a rainforest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well” (see full interview)
With Cameron’s enthusiasm for the deep waters and his previous work including ‘The Abyss’, ‘Titanic’ and ‘Volcanoes of the Deep Sea’, it will definitely to be very interesting to see his vision of Pandora’s underwater and it’s inhabitants. If this an ocean adventure with the Na’vi is any thing like the first Avatar which was the highest-grossing film of all time, we’re in for a treat when it does come out.
The makers are attempting to complete the sequel in half the time and half the cost of the last movie, however Cameron think this will be an unlikely goal to accomplish due to the challenging nature of the shooting and the expectations to create the same magic they did the last time. In the meantime, you can now grab your very own copy of the original “Avatar” DVD or Blue-ray as Fox released it yesterday which was also ‘Earth Day’. And if that’s not enough for you, the film will make a comeback to theaters in August with an extra 6 minutes of added footage!
