Although there are still two weeks before James Cameron's blockbuster of the decade "Avatar" comes out, it seems that it was officially planned as a possible franchise. The main star Sam Worthington spoke to "Total Film" recently revealing that he was signed in for three movies. Here's what this guy with a great sense of humour said about it: "You work 18-hour days. I was on it for 14 months. Jim's still editing. We'll still be filming it up to the day it's released — probably after the movie comes out, knowing Jim! That commitment is what makes him the man he is. It's life or death. It's war. That's how he approaches movies… We're signed for a trilogy. But I think I'll be 94 by the time it finishes, to be honest. I know Jim's got some ideas in his big head."
Off course, this doesn't have to mean anything, it all depends on whether "Avatar" will storm the box offices like a hurricane or not, but it's nice to hear that there might be a continuation to the story.
Will the first one stand up to the hype? What do you think, Dezmond?

This film is SF adventure in its core. Some people just don't like SF, or don't care for an adventure for that matter. Still, this could reach wide enough audience.
ReplyDeleteI think it will live up to the hype with those people who know what to expect of Avatar. I'm sure I'll like this film well enough. And some others could be pleasantly surprised. Others of course would still wonder what's the big deal about this film. But that's OK. To each his own. :)
I wouldn't dare giving my opinion, Michele, since so many amazing movies didn't hit the general audience as they were supposed to, while some extremely bad movies became record breakers (as seen these last few weeks). I hope AVATAR will have a historical success in the name of all those ten years which were spent in its making.
