Tsu'tey and Eytukan are back

Image
    This past week on his personal Instagram, Jon Landau posted the above photo. Essentially confirming we will be seeing more Tsu'tey and Eytukan flashback scenes or when someone connect with Eywa. I can't express how happy this makes me, I love the connections to the Omatikaya and specifically to these two characters who we lost way too soon in the franchise. One thing I am surprised about is that this was shared with us and wasn't kept under wraps, can you imagine the impact of seeing the movie and not knowing these two were going to make an appearance before hand? www.avatarsequels.com

Screen Rant Interview with James Cameron, Avatar 3 filming

Image
  Photo from Looper As we've seen several Avatar actors posting photos of them back at Manhattan Beach Studios doing Mo-cap for Avatar, there's been a lot of theories popping up online. Some speculated filming on Avatar 4 or possibly was happening, while others were a bit more tame, saying these were the reshoots and pickups for Avatar 3 being wrapped up. Well thanks to ScreenRant and an interview they had with James at this past Sunday's Saturn Awards, we have the answer. When asked about Avatar 3, here is what James had to say- "It’s pretty much in the can. We’re shooting pick-ups on 3, which is just filling in the last 2 or 3%, and we’ve also got live-action pick-ups in June, that's another couple percent. We've got about a quarter of movie 4 in the can. We’re post on 3 and now doing the VFX, which is an enormous job. I’ll need every second between now and then to get it done. The tech has reached the point right now where it’s really what we need. We make l...

James Cameron has ideas for Avatar 6 and 7

Image
  James Cameron gave an exclusive interview to People Magazine this past Sunday at the Saturn Awards. Here are some of the quotes from JC- “We're fully written through movie five, and I've got ideas for six and seven, although I'll probably be handing the baton on at that point,” Cameron told PEOPLE. “I mean, mortality catches up. But I mean, we're enjoying what we're doing. We're loving it. We get to work with great people.”  This is exciting for me, for one James was always known as a tough as nails director who many people hated to work with and be around early in his career. That clearly isn't the case now, I love that he's acknowledging his mortality but yet loves the process, and the people he's working with so much that he just wants to keep grinding and creating Avatar content for us fans. “Star Trek, Star Wars, the world building franchises that have been around since I was a kid, those were my inspirations," said Cameron. "A...

Happy 8 year anniversary of the Toruk Soundtrack release

Image
  Today is the 8th anniversary of the soundtrack from Cirque du Soleil's Toruk-The First Flight. Featuring vocals from Cumie Dunio, it is truly an Avatar classic. Toruk came at a time when Avatar 2 was no where on the horizon, and the fandom was waning, however it smashed Cirque records and was a huge hit in its own right. I wanted to take a moment to remember the soundtrack, as it was a integral part of the show and remains a must listen for me still to this day. Cumie's vocals are truly special, I recommend all Avatar fans to pick it up. www.avatarsequels.com Cumie Dunio Purchase the soundtrack here - Toruk - The First Flight Soundtrack Follow Cumie Dunio - https://www.youtube.com/user/CumieMusic

Zoe Saldana Collider Interview

Image
  Zoe Saldana recently sat down with Collider for an interview. It was focused on her Paramount+ show Lioness, but she did touch on Avatar. For the full interview click HERE . Collider-I spoke to Sam Worthington and Jon Landau and James Cameron, and they've all teased me about Avatar 3 and how Avatar 4 gets crazy. What can you tease about the upcoming films? Zoe-It's going to be amazing. Avatar 3 , it’s going to be amazing, and Avatar 4 and 5 , it just gets crazy. It's true. It really does. He's blown our mind. This is his legacy project. We all thought it was Titanic , and it turned out that Avatar is his legacy, and for us to be a part of something so groundbreaking and trailblazing, it's like it's a legacy for us, too. So I'm excited to go back. We go back to work next week, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. As I posted yesterday, it appears Zoe is now back to work on the Avatar sequels. Even though she just touched on Avatar bri...
