James Cameron shares details about Avatar 3

James Cameron, in an interview with Empire magazine said that they had ''too many great ideas packed into act one of movie 2,” adding, “The [film] was moving like a bullet train, and we weren’t drilling down enough on character. So I said, ‘Guys, we’ve got to split it.’” This led to the creation of the second part, Avatar: The Way of Water.𒈔 He also revealed that the third instalment will be a little bit longer than the second one, which had a runtime of three hours and 12 minutes.

Amanda Silver, the co-writer of the script with Cameron and Rick Jaffa, said that Fire and Ash🤪 is a separate film from the second one because the story goes beyond just action and visual spectacle.

🔯Talking about the thought process behind the characters, he said that the depth was drawn from his personal experience. Cameron said, “These characters are amalgams of us, our childhoods, our role as parents, the mistakes we made, and probably to some extent continue to make as parents''.

♔Giving examples, he added, “I mean, Jake is a hard-ass motherfucker. He’s very hard on his kids. Well, that’s me.”

🦩Rick said he gave a lot of himself into Jake’s middle child, Lo’ak. He said, “A good friend of mine who saw Way Of Water — a woman I grew up with — wrote to me after she’d seen it and said that the relationship between Lo’ak and Neteyam reminded her of the relationship I had with my older brother.”
