If so and want to find out the answer, just keep reading!
keep the legacy
Under the director’s commands James Cameron“Avatar”, the science fiction feature film released in 2009, revolutionized not only the way that computer graphics were used in cinematographic productions, but also in all production of works made for the big screen in the following years.
The first film was prepared for 12 whole years and, despite its acclaim and several requests for sequels from the public, a new production would not be so easy to carry out because, if it were made with the tight preparation time, it might not get the same quality.
So, to maintain the legacy and excellence of “Avatar”, 20th Century Fox and director James Cameron decided to carry out the entire process of creating the plot, characters and effects, without prioritizing speed of delivery, but rather the commitment to an impeccable result.
Script production time
Despite the delay,avatar” came back surprising the public by confirming a quartet of sequels that are being produced simultaneously, and are scheduled to premiere in 2022, 2024, 2026 and 2028.
However, for the development of the films to work without any problems, the scripts of the works took four years to be finalized, a time that can be considered long, but which is punctuated by Cameron as an investment. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the filmmaker said:
The scripts took four years [para ficar prontos]🇧🇷 You could call it a delay, but it’s not really a delay, because from the moment we hit the button to actually make the movies, we’ve been running smoothly — because of all the time we’ve had to develop the system. We weren’t wasting time, we were investing in the development of technology and design. So when all the scripts were approved, everything was designed. Every character, every creature, every setting.”
Waiting for technological advances
Also, taking into account the first film’s milestone, it’s likely that James Cameron expected new technological advances to further improve the special effects and techniques used.
The theory may have been confirmed by the director himself who, when talking about the development of the second film in the franchise entitled “Avatar: The Way of Water”, stated that he found the perfect method for the underwater scenes and, therefore, the production of the sequel has advanced, as reported by the Love Cinema.
