hasn’t all the technology already got cheaper???
Not cheap enough, he should wait another 20 years
He could make blue giant dildos for merch, and simultaneously go fuck himself with one of those.
Would making the movies cheaper translate into cheaper ticket prices? My local is $26 a ticket now. It’s ridiculous! I’m not going to see everything that comes out when it costs that much, and we’ve got access to streaming now.
It was a fucking Trilogy man.
Why is everyone saying he’ll use AI? Boring or not, he did make visually amazing movies with cgi. What makes you think he’ll cheat?
he wants to be able to produce movies cheaper.
Vfx cheaper. But in this article and everywhere else he does stress “if they do make one”. It’s clear he won’t if he can’t. I don’t think he would use AI.
wish he would go back to making cheaper movies and working within a constraint set. his older stuff was way better.
Or, hear me out, you could use your impressive creativity to make other non-Avatar movies that are beloved classics like you were making before Avatar.
The indiginous species have been oppressed by the shitty humans for 3 movies now. WE GET IT.
They also had the same bad guy for 3 movies…
And he got away again, I couldn’t believe it!
Wait for real?! Good thing I didn’t bother to watch 3 yet, after the end of 2 was just setting up yet another rematch.
Yep. Many parts of 3 were a literal repeat of 2, including whale hunting, a big showdown at the water village, and Quarritch AGAIN gets away at the end.
Hear me out. Muppets.
Hear me out … don’t produce another
Bingo
If James Cameron’s; Muppet Avatar: The Way of Fuzz happens, I might never watch any other movie, ever again.
Easily done:
- Wait for AI bubble to burst
- Buy render farm on the cheap
- Avatar 4
Although I’m assuming that the raw rendering pipeline is what costs the most. I could be dead wrong about that - there’s a whole army of artists, technical people, and actors that go into such a production too.
Source Engine?
It’s easy to joke about, but I feel like this is a microcosm of the problems plaguing Hollywood. The notion that a franchise routinely closing in on $2B a movie at the box office is somehow not profitable speaks to how absolutely unhinged the budgets are going in.
Everything about movies is just stupid. Napoleon dynamite cost 400k to make. Half of that money went into the jamiroquai song. Marketing for a movie costs more than a movie used to cost. A movie made 10 million dollars? Absolute failure. People like the rock get paid 50million per movie to just be there. I really hope Hollywood just collapses
Dude it’s okay, you can stop, in fact many of us prefer you do

Is this a story that needs telling?
Yeah, maybe don’t film in HFR anymore.
This should be a fun thread
I have an idea: cut the film length in half, remove the warfare and turn it into a nature documentary.
My mom really likes the movies, so I went with her to the cinema. I like the progress in CGI and have read their papers on water rendering a bunch of times, and I can feel myself getting immersed when things start off. They are beautiful worlds with so much creativity!
And then the warfare starts and it all turns into a CGI mess with no story value. Such a disappointment.
