Avatar starts filming this fall...2,3 and 4 to be filmed at same time.

yip and it was awful, not by cameron though!

I bet it was made by the same people that said hey let's make a movie about Abe Lincoln killing vampires

 

[threeyoda]

It was made by a company that releases unofficial quickly-made cheap rip-offs/sequels of movies. It's called The Asylum.

 

[yeti]

Is this real?

While not an official sequel, I'm sure whoever made this B-Movie was counting on that assumption.

Actually, that same whoever has a very familiar last name. Guess talent or luck in the industry isn't always hereditary (unless we're talking about doing cockney accents, for which there frankly wasn't much talent to begin with).

Now how's this for a thread going...wait for it...adrift?

 

[DisneyWall-E]

Is this real?

God I hope not.

Good news about the 3 new movies to come out.I thought the 1st one was good. I never jumped on the its just a Pocahontas remake. IMHO a lot of movies out of Hollywood are just remakes/borrowed ideas from previous movies.
I do hope that the new land will blow us away tho.

Wow, rating of 1.2 out of 10 on IMDB. That's even worse then Raise the Titanic!

 

[Bob Saget]

I still think Cameron needs to make a titanic sequel. LOL

There is a James Cameron Titanic sequel, which tells of what happens when the frozen corpse of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) is rescued from the ocean depths.

 

[Rivers Rowe]

Isn't Avatar the highest grossing film of all time? So someone apparently went to go see it. If the second one trumps the first at the box office get the rights will have been a genius move by Disney.

 

[ellie-badge]

... three more sequels? Wow, Cameron must really be dedicated to Avatar.

 

[olinecoach61]

Well I hope the movies are successful for the sake of the parks. I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see the plans and what is actually developed for AK.

 

[HenryMystic]

I understand the sentiment of "build a great attraction and people will love it", but why force it? Cars Land made sense because it sold merchandise. All Avatar has done is sell overpriced 3D movie tickets. There are no clear merchandising or food and beverage opportunities.

I am accepting that the land is happening, but that doesn't mean I understand it.

 

[Contrast]

I think that Avatar is a hugely overrated film but I must admit I am intrigued to see what sort of attractions they come up with.

 

[wickedsoccer22]

You people are too nit-picky. You do realize this is a director and writer with an unbelievable track record for box office and critical success? He's a perfectionist and is known for being overly critical of his own work until he deems it perfect. I don't think these films are going to flop at all.

And remember, no film has even gotten close to the same experience people felt while watching Avatar.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

I totally enjoyed Avatar when I saw it in the cinema. A forgettable story, but my does Cameron understand spectacle! Also I thought the movie was real pretty. Pandora (its moon for all you pedantics, grumble) was lovely.

I am not all that keen on Avatarland in AK. Then again, I must be the only one who is glad Beastly Kingdom was never build either. What can I say? I love my animals real or extinct.

I still think Cameron needs to make a titanic sequel. LOL

Yes!

The 'Revenge of Jack' where he didn't die but is recued by mermaids and one falls in love with him when he fought a great white shark to save her and they almost married but then Rose threw the diamond necklace into the sea and he dove after it and so remembered Rose and then he sirened for her and so Rose dove into the sea and the mermaids taught her to breathe underwater and be young forever and then Jack and Rose marry and then have all sorts of underwater adventures but that's more for part three 'Jack and Rose vs the Jealous Little Mermaid'

So a combination titanic,pirates 4, and little mermaid epic

 

[DisDadEddie]

As I've been saying in other threads, I don't care how the rest of the movies are, or how the first was perceived. Just build a great attraction, and everyone will be happy.

I agree 100%. If they build a great attraction all the complaining about it will stop. If they fail, I can't imagine the backlash.I myself will watch the Avatar sequals, once they are released on Blu-Ray as I did with the first. I'm surprised Disney isn't trying to get in on the Hunger Games franchise.

 

[NoChesterHester]

I liked Avatar... all three hours, but I don't know if I want to sit through 9 more hours of it. I can absolutely see a sequel - three more??? Can anyone say the Chronicles of Narnia?

 

[grandmath]

With 500 million $, Avatar land will be surely great. You may not like the movies (I never watched any Harry Potter movies before visiting the WWOHP), but everyone will love to explore Pandora - in real.

 

[CinematicFusion]

Avatar made 2.7 billion dollars world wide with 3 more movies coming from James Cameron with a pretty amazing track record. I think Disney is taking a great educated risk here with building this park in animal kingdom.

I think the only thing that could derail this concept is the story line Cameron uses. If he keeps pushing through all his next three movies the subtle America sucks vibe....people in America (where the park is going to be built) might get turned off.
It was the one aspect of the avatar movie that left a bad taste in my mouth.
The story was a rehash told many times. Had they gotten Kevin Costner to play the lead, it would have been dances with wolves in space.
Otherwise I enjoyed it and do look forward to the theme park. I just hope Cameron doesn't make the film too political and have the bad guy USA military come back with the evil American corporations to rein holy hell on pappa smurfs and the village.
I don't like going to see a movie and being forced to here one guys opinion(James Cameron) on how he feels politically about America. Don't make Disney a political park. I go there to escape and be a kid again....I don't want to ride the msnbc/fox news adventure.

I love Avatar and I rewatch it with my buddy all the time. He's a marine and he made sure we watched it before he left for training. One of the things he asked me when he came back from bootcamp was how the AK project was coming along. Of course I didn't have much to report. In short, I have friends who love the film and watch it again and again, but even though it does have a fanbase, i'd rather see it end with dignity as a trilogy. As it's been said before, it smells like another pirates4. There are infinite possibilities with this environment though. I'll have to see where the sequel goes. A solid franchise tied to AK could be prosperity for the park.

On the other hand, if the substance of the land is met with budget cuts and is scaled back, that will be an issue. The weaknesses of the source material and thematic fit into DAK will be amplified if the substance of the attractions and landscape of the area aren't top notch.

On a positive note, if it does stink, maybe in a few years they will give it the DCA treatment.
