by archyde

Avatar The most successful movies in the world by the skill of directing James Cameron It took more than 13 years for a sequel to come out for fans.skinIt was seen that a year at that time was spent writing the script. and was completely blown away.

James Cameron revealed to The Times that he and his crew had dropped the script. Avatar 2 It took a year to write because it still doesn’t reach the essence enough

“When the writers and I started making ‘Avatar 2’ I was told we wouldn’t be able to do a sequel. until we understand why the first part was a success.” “We have to decipher what happened.”

After analyzing it, James Cameron and the team found what made it a success.

“Every movie can be successful. It’s because of the level of the script. The first level, for example, is a ‘texture’ containing characters, problems, and solutions. The second level is ‘thematic’. skinWhat are you trying to convey? and on the third level that is The ‘subconscious mind’ which ‘Avatar’ also uses in this third level. I have written all the scripts for the sequel. And as I read it, I realized that the chapter had not yet reached its third level of essence. Everything is boom! start over again After a year of doing it.”

James Cameron also revealed that he almost fired the scriptwriters for Avatar 2 because they originally intended to create a new story. Rather than searching for the essence that made the first film the most grossing in the world.

“When I was writing the sequel, I knew there would be three more chapters. which eventually became four sectors I gathered a group of screenwriters and told them, ‘I don’t want to hear any new ideas from anyone until we’ve spent enough time figuring out what made the first film a success. What is it connected to? And why does it work?’”

“Well, they kept saying they wanted to do something new, so I said, ‘We can’t do that,’ and in the end I threatened to fire them all because they did what the writers did. which is to try to create a new story. Then I reiterated that ‘We have to understand what it is and treat it. Protect this pile of coals and flames.’”

James Cameron was also asked if this was the reason we had to wait 13 years for a sequel, to which he replied,

“Well, because I’ve been exploring the ocean for a while too.”

by archyde

Both on Android phones and iOS, WhatsApp seeks to become one of the main communication applications. For this reason, during the pandemic, Meta, the company behind the development, shared several changes to calls and video calls. Users can now create calls for their work or study.

Precisely, this conference tool will make an important technological leap in the future with the use of avatars. In the same style of the Metaverse, you will be able to create your own virtual character that will attend the conferences; this way, you won’t have to expose your face.

For now, it is a fairly distant patch, but the WaBetainfo media has shared a screenshot to see what the new video calls section would look like in WhatsApp Beta.

This is what your avatar will look like on WhatsApp

“As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp will automatically create its own sticker pack based on the avatar configured within WhatsApp Settings so that you can finally share your personalized stickers that express who you are with your chats and groups.

As an additional feature, it will also be possible to use the avatar as profile picture in the future”, details the mentioned medium.

They warn, of course, that it is a tool under development. Meta has not confirmed the official release date for the avatars. In the capture we not only see the little character as a profile picture, but it will also be part of the chats.

You will be able to share unique emojis that interact with different elements such as hearts in the eyes, musical notes, broken hearts, cakes, etc.

James Cameron Was Worried Avatar 2 Might Have Taken Too Long

by archyde

That long awaited Avatar sequel is almost here.

After a film grosses almost $3 billion at the global box officeyou have to imagine the studio behind it would want to cash in immediately. Get a sequel into theaters ASAP. Strike while the iron is hot. Avatar director James Cameron is not that kind of person though. He doesn’t rush things. And yet, even he admits that the 13 years it will have taken between 2009’s mega hit and its December sequel Avatar: The Way of Water did worry him just a little bit.

“I was a little concerned that I had stretched the tether too far, in our fast-paced, modern world, with Avatar 2 coming in 12 years later,” Cameron told the New York Times. “Right until we dropped the teaser trailerand we got 148 million views in 24 hours. There’s that scarce seen but wondered at principle, which is, ‘Wow, we haven’t seen that in a long time, but I remember how cool it was back then.’” Cameron continued. “Does that play in our favor? I don’t know. I guess we’re going to find out.”

Cameron is no stranger to sequels with long waits in between. In the same interview, he points out he made Aliens seven years after the first film, and it’s considered one of the greatest sequels ever. He also made Terminator 2: Judgment Day seven years after the original and not only is it too is considered one of the greatest sequels ever, it exponential outgrossed the original. So even if he was worried about Avatar 2 for a bit, he did have some proof that waiting and getting it right could work. “I think I could have made a [Avatar] sequel two years later and have it bomb because people didn’t relate to the characters or the direction of the film,” he said.

But Cameron hasn’t made an out and out “bomb” in 40 years. His track record is basically unmatched. So we have to imagine, working on this movie for over a decade, his care and confidence are through the roof. One thing he couldn’t work on in that time, though, is Avatar’s cultural impact, which isn’t close to the other mega blockbusters of its time. Almost $3 billion grossed and yet, very few toys on the shelves, quotes in the lexicon, and only a smattering of extremely brave cosplayers. It’s going to be beyond interesting to see not just if the film is a hit, but how big of a hit—and if the wait will bring in a new generation of fans. Then there’s the follow-up, though the wait for all the subsequent Avatar sequels will be minuscule in comparison to this one. Avatar 3 is scheduled for release December 2024, with parts 4 and 5 coming two years after the previous. Could that be too short of a wait? Who knows? Well, maybe James Cameron.

For an Avatar refresher, the original film is coming back to theaters this weekend. Avatar: The Way of Water opens December 16.
