James Cameron He is currently focused on ‘Avatar 3’, a film that should hit theaters in December 2024. He still has plenty of time to do everything to his liking, but he himself has recognized that he needed help to improve both the third installment and what what is to come in this science fiction universe.
What do we need to improve on?
One thing that the also director of ‘Risky Lies’ was very clear about is that he did not want this to become an overdose of praise, since His goal was to get feedback needed to improve ‘Avatar 3’ and the future of the franchise. Cameron himself admitted that “This is something we’ve never done, which is to ask: How do we make the next movie even better for the fans? Go talk to them and find out what they think“.
For this reason, Cameron accompanied the producer Jon Landau to a special screening of ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ that took place this past February 16. The filmmaker himself wanted to make it clear to everyone present what exactly he wanted to get out of that experience:
You can be totally honest with us, this is not about telling us the things we want to hear, it’s about hearing things we need to work on more.
The question and answer session lasted over an hour. and you can listen to it in its entirety here. Cameron himself was in charge of distributing the microphone to all those who wanted to ask any questions and surely he took note of all the comments on aspects as different as character development, the choice of shots or even on his certain moments They looked too much like a video game.
Obviously Cameron then he will do what he sees fit with the information he has obtained, to which we must add that the filming of ‘Avatar 3’ ended a long time ago, so it is not clear how much room for maneuver it will have in certain aspects. Of course, some of those present assured that they had never seen a director take the reactions of the public so seriously, so surely some adjustment is made.
