'Avatar: The Way of Water' was easily the most-awaited project of the year, and it is only a few days away. James Cameron returns to the big screen as a director after more than a decade. The film has a huge ensemble cast, with several new names joining the franchise. Among them is Kate Winslet, who worked with Cameron in 'Titanic'. In a recent interview, Winslet revealed what prompted her to accept the offer.

While speaking to Empire magazine, she said she loved the first movie. "The deeper themes it conveys about our declining planet, were extremely poignant, and that mattered to me. So, I had no reservations at all. Plus, I was jumping into a well-oiled machine, so I was excited to think that everything they had learned as filmmakers from the first movie, would have only been ironed out and amplified in its second go around. And that's fun!" she said.&nbsp;

In the answer to another question, she said that Cameron remains a "perfectionist" and that "part hasn't changed at all. And that is what makes his movies precise in every tiny detail. All those tiny components are huge when assembled, and it’s Jim’s vision and his determination that produces extraordinary filmmaking that will stand the test of time."

'Had no reservations at all': Kate Winslet on reuniting with James Cameron in 'Avatar The Way of Water'

‘Avatar’ fans in the southernmost state of India, Kerala will have to wait a bit longer to watch the upcoming sequel of the James Cameron film. The Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK) announced its decision to not release the much-awaited film.

This decision comes in the wake of the disagreement between the FEUOK and the ‘Avatar: The Way of the Water’ makers over the profit-sharing terms. The &nbsp;body of Malayalam cinema termed the new conditions of the makers of the Hollywood blockbuster as “unusual.”

In a statement, K Vijayakumar, the president of FEUOK said, “It is not being banned here. We cannot accept their terms and conditions. They are demanding unusual pay from single-screen theatres in Kerala. That we cannot accept. We are not going to ban any films. But, we are not going to release Avatar 2 in Kerala. We are expecting negotiations from their side,”&nbsp;

Reportedly, the bone of contention between them is the 60% share of revenue they are asking for. Theatre owners in Kerala are not ready to go beyond the regular 55% share of revenue.&nbsp;

The decision will affect ‘Avatar: The Way of the Water’ release on about 400-odd screens across Kerala.&nbsp;

The film is slated to release on December 16 this year.&nbsp;

'Avatar: Way of the Water' won't release in Kerala, India because of this shocking reason

James Cameron's highly anticipated film 'Avatar: The Way of Water' will be released in mainland Chinese cinemas on Dec 16 when it hits theatres globally. 20th Century Studios announced the news on Wednesday on its official Weibo account. The film is the sequel of Cameron's blockbuster film 'Avatar' which had released in 2009.&nbsp; 
 
'Avatar: The Way of Water' is one of the few foreign films to get access to the Chinese market in recent months, with others including the latest film in the 'Minions' franchise and Sony Pictures’ 'Where the Crawdads Sing'. 
 
Foreign movies have long struggled to gain release dates in mainland China due to strict quotas on the number of international films allowed to screen. Several films are also blocked as the contents are deemed inappropriate by Chinese regulators. 
 
Hollywood blockbusters recently have had a tough time getting clearance to show in China. The six latest Marvel movies did not make an appearance in China and earlier this year, 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' was also denied a China release.

Increased scrutiny of Hollywood films has occurred in conjunction with a rise in China's film studios making their own versions of the high-octane blockbusters that US studios are known for.

Chinese-made hits include the 'Wolf Warrior' franchise and last year's breakout success, 'The Battle at Changjin Lake', have proven popular with Chinese audiences keen to see more Chinese-centric stories on the big screen.

That said, even though Chinese movie ticket sales topped US ticket sales for the first time in 2020, the movie market in the country has been hit by tight COVID-19 curbs. Cinemas across the country are frequently asked to suspend operations or cap audience numbers.

Especially as cases continue to grow, people in many cities around the country are refraining from going to cinemas.

'Avatar: The Way Of Water' gets cleared for release in China, to release on this day

Thanks to its sky-high budget, 'Avatar: The Way of Water' will need to gross a lot of money just to break even. A whole lot of money. Director James Cameron has revealed that the film will need to be the third or fourth highest-grossing movie of all time if its earnings need to just equal its production and marketing costs. In an interview with GQ, Cameron said the film is "very fu**ing" expensive." The franchise will get at least three more sequels, each reportedly costing $250 million to make. Cameron added that the film represents “the worst business case in movie history."

"You have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history. That’s your threshold. That’s your break even," he added.&nbsp;

Interestingly, Cameron's own '1997 romance-disaster film 'Titanic' is the third-highest-grossing film ever, followed by 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.&nbsp;

The original 'Avatar' was the highest-grossing movie of all time in terms of worldwide returns, and Cameron had more story to tell in the franchise -- thus a sequel was inevitable. We are getting at least three more sequels. There was a significant delay between the first and the second movie. 'The Way of Water' comes out after 13 years.

The epic sequel to 2009's 'Avatar' brings moviegoers back to Pandora, the Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System.&nbsp;

Disney is leaving no stone unturned to promote and market possibly the biggest movie ever made: 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. The sequel to 2009's 'Avatar', which is the highest-grossing movie of all time in terms of worldwide collections, the film marks James Cameron's return as director. The film just got a new trailer.

The trailer also promises a never-before-seen visual extravaganza that will wow audiences, particularly in 3D, a format Cameron insists is here to stay.

The film continues the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their children) as they encounter new challenges and undergo fresh adventures. They come across a new tribe of the Na'vi, the blue-hued race of people Jake and Neytiri belong to as well.

A new trailer for 'Avatar The Way of Water' is here. James Cameron's much-awaited sequel to 2009's 'Avatar' will bring you back to Pandora. The original was a big step up for computer-generated visuals that outdid anything else that had come before in photorealism, but 'The Way of Water' may even be a bigger visual upgrade over its contemporaries. The film brings a majority of the original's cast and adds big names. In the first film, Sam Worthington's Jake Sully chose to join the Na'vi and fought with them against the rapacious humans who had come to Pandora, an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that James Cameron's return to the big screen and the sequel to his blockbuster 2009 film 'Avatar' will run for three hours and 10 minutes -- or 190 minutes. The original was also pretty intimidating at 162 minutes of runtime. This is not exactly unusual for Cameron, as his 1997 film 'Titanic' ran for 195 minutes. Also, long runtimes do not seem to affect box office returns of his movies, and he manages to hold the attention of the audiences for those huge runtimes.

Cameron, whose 'Avatar' sequel, titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water', released in December, has earlier piqued superhero movie fans too. In a new interview for the New York Times, Cameron was saying since 'The Way of Water' is set 15 years after the original, Jake and Neytiri, the main characters played by Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, have matured/&nbsp;But, he said, he does not see such maturity in characters in Marvel and DC movies.

He said, "Zoe and Sam now play parents, 15 years later. In the first movie, Sam’s character leaps off his flying creature and essentially changes the course of history as a result of this crazy, almost suicidal leap of faith. And Zoe’s character leaps off a limb and assumes there’s going to be some nice big leaves down there that can cushion her fall. But when you’re a parent, you don’t think that way. So for me, as a parent of five kids, I’m saying, ‘What happens when those characters mature and realize that they have a responsibility outside their own survival?'"

He next specifically named Marvel and DC and said, "When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”

In 2018, ahead of the release of superhero extravaganza 'Avengers: Infinity War' which brought together two dozen superheroes and more than 60 characters, Cameron had hoped the 'Avengers fatigue' would set in.

“I’m hoping we’re going to start getting Avenger fatigue. Not that I don’t love the movies. It’s just, come on, guys, there are other stories to tell besides, you know, hypogonadal males without families doing death-defying things for two hours and wrecking cities in the process,” Cameron had told Entertainment Weekly.

The first 'Avatar' film, dealing with themes like exploitation, racism, and imperialism, was a huge step in the field of computer-generated imagery-assisted filmmaking. It was widely praised for its visuals and 3D quality, though received some criticism for its thin, simplistic plot.

'Avatar: The Way of Water' continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. Apart from Worthington and Saldaña, it also brings back Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald from the first movie. &nbsp;Sigourney Weaver also returns, but in a different role.

James Cameron blasts Marvel, DC superheroes again: 'They act like they're in college'

The re-release of James Cameron's 'Avatar' is a hit movie in itself.

The movie was re-released to serve as a primer for the sequel called 'Avatar: The Way of Water', which comes out in December. In the new release, 'Avatar' grossed $18 million in its domestic market and $39 overseas.

'Avatar' re-release brings James Cameron movie closer to $3 billion. Details here

'Avatar' was recently re-released in theatres worldwide, and has bagged $30 million as per reports. The success has once again reignited an old debate that rears its ugly head every now and then: Is <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-james-cameron-challenges-you-to-guess-avatar-the-way-of-water-plot-guarantee-you-won’t-be-able-to-predict-518680">James Cameron</a>&nbsp;magnum opus really a good movie? Or simply a well-marketed,&nbsp;average film with astounding&nbsp;visuals? Film critic Bilge Ebiri shared his Vulture article, titled 'Sorry, But Avatar Still Rules', on Twitter and there was utter pandemonium&nbsp;(well, even more unrestrained pandemonium than usual). There were, as one can expect, a wide variety of reactions, and a lot of heated arguments. There was no consensus, but then the words 'consensus' and 'Twitter' do not belong together anyway. If one were to say 'You know, I think water is wet', there will almost certainly be reactions along the lines of 'not everywhere!'&nbsp;Unless you have been everywhere? No? Didn't think so!'

<h2>When Twitter fought over whether 'Avatar' is just crap or a nugget of gold</h2>

Anyhoo, after Ebiri's tweet went viral, some on the 'Avatar' sucks! side of the debate argued that the film does not have any cultural footprint as compared to, say, Marvel movies. Those on the 'Avatar' rules! side of the debate responded by saying if the movie, as you say, really does not have any cultural footprint, how come haters like you chime up every week or so to say this very thing? If it were so forgettable, nobody would bring up the subject at all. Somebody simply taking the trouble to say the movie does not matter is the very proof that it, indeed, does.&nbsp;

<h2>What was 'Avatar' really about?</h2>

The movie reversed the alien-invasion genre. Instead of the aliens, it was us humans invading another planet (more accurately a moon) for material gain. On Pandora were reserves of Unobtanium and in the way stood the Na'vi, a tall, blue-hued, and lithe people with feline features who were connected to nature in a way humans had been once upon a time. But the US government, backed by its military with its war planes and its artillery, attacked the Na'vi after trying to infiltrate them by using hybrids called avatars.

The story explored themes of racism, imperialism, colonialism, and exploitation.&nbsp;

<h2>What really is the truth?</h2>

As always happens with online discussions, there was no middle-ground. 'Avatar' was either the worst movie ever, or the best. Opinions are subjective, of course, particularly when it comes to popular movies (deny it as much as you want, 'Avatar' is popular). But 'Avatar' was a good movie, and remains one. In theatres, with the 3D glasses, it became something transportive and transcendental. A never-before-seen experience that, for this scribe at least, dwarfs anything else. When one was in a cinema hall, glued to the screen, things like script and plot ceased to matter. What mattered was the experience, and that felt like one was actually rubbing shoulders with the Na'vi in their beautifully verdant world.

'Avatar' rerelease success reignites debate: Was it really any good?

After a hiatus of more than a decade, master filmmaker James Cameron is making his big comeback with the sequels of 'Avatar'. The first sequel, titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water' is only a few months away. The franchise gets much bigger with glittering new additions to the already-strong cast. Cameron and 20th Century Studios are launching a massive marketing campaign and press tour for the movie. The canny marketer Cameron, meanwhile, is doing the promotion using just his words. Recently, he teased that while fans of the franchise may think they know what to expect from the movie, they really don't.&nbsp;

Cameron told IGN, "I guarantee you, you won’t be able to predict it. What people hate the most is to go and see a movie and say ‘oh… predictable.’ This is not predictable, I don’t think. I defy anybody to predict where this story goes.”

He added, “We follow [Jake and Neytiri] forward in time, 15 years to where they have a family of pre-teens and teenagers. More of a family dynamic. It’s not a Hallmark, Disney family dynamic. It’s a very dysfunctional family dynamic, but ultimately there’s a core there that they all draw their strength from. I think that’s the thing that’s fundamentally different from the first one.”

James Cameron challenges you to guess 'Avatar The Way of Water' plot: 'Guarantee you won’t be able to predict'

'Shazam! Fury Of The Gods' is an upcoming DC superhero movie that is scheduled for a release window that pits it against James Cameron's 'Avatar: The Way of Water' that is almost certainly sure to be the biggest movie of the year. 'Fury Of The Gods' brings back David F Sandberg, who also helmed 2019's 'Shazam!'. Apart from him, Zachary Levi, who portrayed the adult version of the titular superhero, also returns.

Sandberg, who is otherwise known for directing horror films like 'Annabelle: Creation' and 'Lights Out', has spoken about facing a titan like Cameron in the battlefield of box office returns.

He joked while speaking to Slash Film, "He should be very scared. This is the end of James Cameron. (laughs)"

He the added more soberly, "No, I think it's actually good, because they're such different movies. I mean, look at the first 'Avatar.' There were other movies that came out at the same time and did really well ... especially at Christmas ... everybody knows that 'Avatar' is going to be, like, the biggest movie ever. I'm going to go see it. But yeah, there's room for 'Shazam!' too."

The 'Shazam' franchise is about an orphan kid called Billy Batson who is bestowed with magical powers by an ancient wizard. He gains Solomon's wisdom, Hercules' strength, Atlas' stamina, Zeus' power, Achilles' courage, and Mercury's speed. In the first film, Billy was assisted by his friend Freddy to figure out his powers. Thanks to Bily, his foster siblings also gained powers in the end.&nbsp;

Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, Meagan Good, and Djimon Hounsou will also return. Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren, and &nbsp;Rachel Zegler join the franchise with this film.

'Shazam!' received highly positive reviews, scoring 90 per cent on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus read, "An effortlessly entertaining blend of humor and heart, Shazam! is a superhero movie that never forgets the genre's real power: joyous wish fulfillment."

'Shazam! Fury Of The Gods' will release on December 21, 2022.

Before 'Shazam! Fury Of The Gods', Dwayne Johnson will make his superhero debut with 'Black Adam', who is traditionally a supervillain of 'Shazam'. But in the film, he will be more like an anti-hero and is expected to face Shazam! in a future movie. 'Black Adam' is scheduled for a release on October 21.&nbsp;

'Shazam 2' director on facing James Cameron's 'Avatar 2' at box office: 'He should be very scared...'

When James Cameron releases a film, the world listens. He, probably more than any other filmmaker working today, has that power to create in moviegoers that frenzy that makes them throng theatres whenever he releases a film. His 2009's science-fiction film 'Avatar' is getting not just one, but four sequels.

Not many filmmakers would have greenlit such expensive sequels all at once. But then, it is common knowledge that Cameron delivers big time.

The second movie in the franchise is titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. While Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribisi return from the first film, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Vin Diesel are the new joinees.&nbsp;

Sigourney Weaver, however, dons a different role in the movie as her original character Dr. Grace Augustine died towards the end of the first film. In 'The Way of Water' she is Kiri, the teenage adoptive daughter of Jake (Worthington) and Neytiri (Saldana). Let that sink in. Weaver, 72, is playing the role of a teenager.

While speaking to Empire magazine, Weaver spoke about her character. She said, "I think we all pretty much remember what we were feeling as adolescents. I certainly do. I was 5’ 10” or 5’ 11” when I was 11. I felt strongly that Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time. She’s searching for who she is. I was thrilled to be given that challenge by Jim.”

The first 'Avatar' film was a huge step in the field of computer-generated imagery-assisted filmmaking. It was widely praised for its visuals and 3D quality, though received some criticism for its thin, simplistic plot. The story reverses the alien invasion trope. In the film, we, humans, were the invaders and visited Pandora, a habitable extrasolar moon, to mine Unobtainium, a highly valuable compound. The film dealt with themes like imperialism, militarism, and racism.

When James Cameron releases a film, the world listens. He, probably more than any other filmmaker working today, has that power to create in moviegoers that frenzy that makes them throng theatres whenever he releases a film.

When James Cameron releases a film, the world listens. He, probably more than any other filmmaker working today, has that power to create in moviegoers that frenzy that makes them throng theatres whenever he releases a film. His 2009's science-fiction film 'Avatar' is getting not just one, but four sequels. Not many filmmakers would have greenlit such expensive sequels all at once. But then, it is common knowledge that Cameron delivers big time. The second movie in the franchise is titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. While Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribisi return from the first film, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Vin Diesel are the new joinees. Sigourney Weaver, however, dons a different role in the movie as her original character Dr. Grace Augustine died towards the end of the first film. In 'The Way of Water' she is Kiri, the teenage adoptive daughter of Jake (Worthington) and Neytiri (Saldana). Let that sink in. Weaver, 72, is playing the role of a teenager. While speaking to Empire magazine, Weaver spoke about her character. She said, "I think we all pretty much remember what we were feeling as adolescents. I certainly do. I was 5’ 10” or 5’ 11” when I was 11. I felt strongly that Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time. She’s searching for who she is. I was thrilled to be given that challenge by Jim.” The first 'Avatar' film was a huge step in the field of computer-generated imagery-assisted filmmaking. It was widely praised for its visuals and 3D quality, though received some criticism for its thin, simplistic plot. The story reverses the alien invasion trope. In the film, we, humans, were the invaders and visited Pandora, a habitable extrasolar moon, to mine Unobtainium, a highly valuable compound.

It's finally here. James Cameron had literally opened up Pandora to the world in his 2009 hit 'Avatar'. 13 years later, he is ready with the sequel, 'Avatar The Way Of Water'. The first teaser of the film was shown in theatres before the screening of 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' and on Monday the makers released the teaser trailer online.&nbsp; 
 
If&nbsp;one can recall, Cameron had created an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon of the gas giant Polyphemus from the Alphas Centauri system.&nbsp; 
 
The trailer of 'Avatar The Way of Water' shows &nbsp;Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Zoe Saldana’s Neytiri to take up perhaps some newer challenges that threaten their race and can uproot them from their habitat. At one point in the trailer, Jake says, “Wherever we go, this family is our fortress.”&nbsp;
