The highest grossing film of all time and well, just the biggest everything when it comes to movies made it’s way to DVD and Blu-ray this week (it’s still in theaters). It even made its way to our City Strip. I’m talking about Avatar, and so is James Cameron, who sat down with The LA Times to dish some details on the films re-release and future sequel. Here are some highlights:
- Cameron confirms the re-release and extra footage: “We’re working on finishing an additional six minutes of the film — which includes a lot of Weta work — for a theatrical re-release in August.”
- Avatar 2 will take us into the oceans of Pandora: “We created a broad canvas for the environment of film. That’s not just on Pandora, but throughout the Alpha Centauri AB system. And we expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story – not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film…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 rain forest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well.”
He goes into great detail in this interview and sounds like a straight shooter. He also comes off as a gigantic nerd, something we appreciate here in the City. Not you Lucas, you can leave.
