THR's own.

It's happening.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

In before fuckery.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Good thing Sam Worthington was able to make room in his busy shooting schedule for this.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Where is shooting starting? I imagine there’s nothing(?) on location.

Curious if/when we’ll see some set pics/ actor/mo cap rigs.

Whew.

I just made it!

 

[TheXbox]

So are they shooting all four sequels back-to-back?

 

[SpaceWolf]

I swear we were already told they had started shooting?

They've been doing non-principal performance capture work over the past 2 years in bits and pieces.

 

[OrangeAtlas]

I almost forgot James Cameron was a film director for a bit.

I can't wait to see this literally be the only theatrical release in its month because everyone else is just getting the heck out of its way.

 

[Hexxen-Panda]

Huh whut? James Cameron was in my town, in rural Canada, just a couple days ago investing in an organic pea farm.

What was he doing here when shooting starts this close?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

inb4 a last-minute delay and the addition of Avatar 6.

 

[Musolf815]

Avatar 2-5 will be filmed entirely at the organic pea farm.

 

[Trouble]

Good thing Sam Worthington was able to make room in his busy shooting schedule for this.

 

[7he Talon]

Why did it take so long?

 

[Not]

James Cameron is going to live to be like 117, isn't he

 

[clevbrowns94]

This kind of needed to come out by 2012. No one cares at this point. It also rode the 3D wave, which is kind of dead by now.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

To be fair, dude has been in pre-production on the films for years and has already shot a bunch of capture stuff without the principal actors.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

He's replacing the paint used for those little performance capture face dots with organic peas. Aiming for a 100% eco-friendly set. Spared no expense.

James Cameron is going to live to be like 117, isn't he

117 = Master Chief
Halo is inspired by Aliens
James Cameron directed Aliens

James Cameron is directing the Halo movie.

 

[BlastCore]

Sam Worthington is literally kissing the floor that James Cameron has walked on as we speak

 

[jett]

Sam Worthington is sure hoping so

 

[LFMartins86]

Why did it take so long?

FernGully 2 was out of stock everywhere and James Cameron needed it to write the script.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Good thing Sam Worthington was able to make room in his busy shooting schedule for this.

Of all the elements you chose to bend, you chose salt.

 

[Surfinn]

I hope they're good. I enjoyed avatar

 

[Jacob]

Are they filming Avatar 2 & 3 at the same time? I vaguely recall hearing something about simultaneous production a few years ago. They announced that there's gonna be a gap between the first two sequels and Avatar 4 & 5 though, right?

 

[SpaceWolf]

I am so goddamned fascinated to see how well Avatar 2 is going to do.

 

[gamz]

Can't wait to see this beast!

 

[Finky Spunky]

Sure to be epic

 

[Surfinn]

I am so goddamned fascinated to see how well Avatar 2 is going to do.

It's gunna bomb!!

Spoiler

No it's not

3 year gap between Avatar 3 and Avatar 4.

One year gaps otherwise.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

It's gunna bomb!!

Spoiler

No it's not

It'll do like $1.5 billion and there will be thousands of articles asking "what went wrong" talking about how huge of a "comparative failure" it is, followed by questioning if the next 3 are even worth completing.

Spoiler

the same will happen with Star Wars 8

Who? Is it this guy?

Yes, in Saskatchewan right? I read that story too.

Film could make $2b worldwide and people will try spin it as a flop.

I await the first trailer thread.

It didn't ride the 3D wave, it was the 3D wave, you've got to give it more credit than that.
Also, box office will show you whether people care or not.

Bruh, it created the 3D wave. It didn't ride it.

 

[elrechazado]

Don't believe his lies

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I mean, realistically it will happen at any amount less than the original's.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Dang, so close!

 

[Surfinn]

Any projection on the budget, per film?

 

[Stinkles]

Bruh, it created the 3D wave. It didn't ride it.

Yeah, the golden age of cinema and TV tech.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Don't believe his lies

Believe.

 

[Killthee]

Fucking finally.

 

[Chezzymann]

I got a good feeling about this. Avatar 2 will have an 80+ metacritic score.

 

[JCHandsom]

Obligatory

 

[yanipheonu]

I guess? I genuinely wonder if the same interest for Avatar remains. It certainly hasn't had the same staying power of a Star Wars, or even Titanic.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Obligatory

I was just about to say this

 

[Fox318]

Does this movie even need to exist?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Good thing Sam Worthington was able to make room in his busy shooting schedule for this.

The box he lives in outside James Cameron's house was finally starting to fall apart.
