I hope he finds a spaceship down there, and it's gotta be alien, because the coral on it is three hundred years old, but what if it's a time-traveling American spacecraft, and there's something alien inside, and now people have uncontrollable mind powers, and it's the coolest story you've ever read until you realize ten years later that Crichton stole the premise wholesale from Solaris.
In the new Making of Empire Strikes Back book that's just released, it shows that in the earlier drafts of the script, Luke runs into his dad, who's not Vader, and he tells him about his sister, who's not Leia.
So there.
Not sure how Michelle Rodriguez would know this, but the sequel will apparently be set underwater.
Well, Cameron himself has said several time that he plans to explore the oceans of Pandora in the sequel.
Yeah, this is old news. Cameron's been talking about an ocean-central film in the series since the first one came to theatres.
Cameron and Water, I think the actors are going to suffeeeeeeeeeer!:D
WTF

Jon Landau Says Avatar 2 Is Four Years Away
January 11, 2012 by Brendon Connelly in Film
This morning, Hannah attended a preview screening of several scenes from the new, 3D version of Titanic and afterwards, got to exchange words with producer Jon Landau.
I hope she’s going to be able to remember enough of what was said to bring you a full piece later – dictaphones and other recording devices were curiously banned – but she’s just filled me in on one particular avenue of conversation.
When the Avatar sequels were first announced, I believe that we were told to expect them in 2013 and 2014. Well, time keeps on slipping (slipping, slipping) into the future. According to Landau this morning, the first sequel is “four years away.”
So that’s 2016 by a literal count, though we could be bendy and assume that Christmas 2015 would also be an option. Expect Avatar 3 a year later, as the performance capture and cinematography would take place back-to-back with the second film.
Landau promised that Avatar 2 was going to showcase advanced technology, from the 3D camera system used to the CG and performance capture, but also in terms of a higher framerate. This, he says, is the new frontier that he and Cameron are most interested in pushing.
Since the only thing the first movie had going for it was the technology, I think they should wait until they have another technological breakthrough to make the second movie. 4 years should be the minimum.
Home viewing re-watches of the first film were not kind. It's a pretty awful movie, particularly when you don't have the 3D to distract you.
Well balanced? Not even close.
The movie's a poorly written (laughable, even) mess, uneven in tone and poorly paced.
It's awful. The occasional visual beauty doesn't outweigh how deeply flawed every other aspect is.
Hyperbole is the greatest thing evaaaaar!!!
I agree with meg. A second watch at home just highlighted how shallow and silly the actual story is. It's a chore to sit through without the bells and whistles of 3D.
I dunno who's being accused of hyperbole here, but I definitely meant what I said. It's a bad movie.
I didn't like it the first time I saw it, so I suppose I was ahead of the curve. I was pleased to discover Cameron still displaying some action-direction chops, and witnessing such lavishly goofy art direction in a grand-scale blockbuster was amusing in a demented kind of way, but those were pretty minor sources of succor in the film's grand scheme of bloat and idiocy.
