Avatar: Fire and Ash [20th Century - 2025]

Le troisième volet de la saga Avatar a sa sortie prévue pour le 18 décembre 2024 en France.
Le film sortira quelque soit le score final du second, il est déjà tourné à 95%.
Si la second film déçoit au box-office, le troisième conclura la saga. Mais si le plébiscite du public est suffisant, deux volets supplémentaires sortiront.

Ce sujet est exclusivement consacré au troisième volet.

Hâte de voir au cinéma Avatar : le porteur de semences

P.S. : Pourvu qu'ils gardent ce titre !

Les scénaristes révèlent que ce troisième volet est né du fait que leur script pour le second était trop long et que James Cameron leur a proposé de le faire en deux films.
Ainsi les 3ème et 4ème déjà développés en parallèle (par d'autres scénaristes) sont devenus les 4ème et 5ème, respectivement.

Au premier montage, le film dure plus de 9h ! Incroyable.

Citation :

“Cameron a bouclé un montage d’Avatar 3 la semaine dernière, de neuf heures”, a ainsi commenté le journaliste et critique de cinéma dans son podcast The Hot Mic Podcast avant d’ajouter : “Il insiste à présent pour que tous les effets visuels soient effectués avant qu’il ne se mette au montage. Les neuf heures en boîte seront donc complètement finalisées avant qu’il n’enlève des scènes.”

J’espère qu’il n’y aura pas de report démesuré pour la sortie de ce troisième opus…
En tout cas j’aime beaucoup les titres que nous connaissons depuis plusieurs années et j’espère qu’ils seront conservés.

Dans le troisième film, James Cameron dit vouloir explorer un peuple "des cendres" proche de l'élément feu et vouloir renverser le manichéisme Na'vi/Humains. Il faut s'attendre à des exemples positifs de personnages humains et négatifs chez les Na'vi.

D'un côté, la version longue du premier film étaient quand même moins manichéenne que la version ciné, avec une présentation du côté obscure des Na'Vi (qu'on retrouve quand même en partie dans La Voie de l'Eau, avec l'attitude de Neytiri vis-à-vis de Spider).

Révélé par James Cameron aujourd'hui :

Spoiler:

Ah , une saga à la Dune.

Oona Chaplin sera Varang, la cheffe du peuple des cendres.

‘Avatar’ Sequels: Oona Chaplin Plays Fire Na’vi Leader in ‘Avatar 3,’ Big Time Jump Set for ‘Avatar 4’ and Earth Setting in ‘Avatar 5’

As “Avatar: The Way of Water” continues to dominate the worldwide box office (it’s currently the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time with $2.13 billion), the future of James Cameron’s Na’vi franchise is coming into clearer focus. Cameron has already shot “Avatar 3” and parts of “Avatar 4,” and “The Way of Water” has performed strong enough that “Avatar 5” is likely to move forward as well.

In a new interview with Empire magazine, “Avatar” producer Jon Landau dropped some new details about what fans can expect from the next three sequels. Cameron had teased that “Avatar 3” would introduce a more antagonistic race of Na’vi. Landau said that group is the Ash People, described by Empire as “an aggressive, volcanic race” of Na’vi whose leader is Varang, played by “Game of Thrones” alum and Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter Oona Chaplin.

There are good humans and there are bad humans,” Landau said. “It’s the same thing on the Na’vi side. Oftentimes, people don’t see themselves as bad. What is the root cause of how they evolve into what we perceive as bad? Maybe there are other factors there that we aren’t aware of.”

While Chaplin’s casting has been known for quite some time, this is the first confirmation fans have gotten that she’s playing the leader of the Ash People. Chaplin praised the “Avatar” franchise back in 2018 and described it as “Trojan horse cinema” due to how Cameron uses big budget filmmaking “to explore things that he finds important…like our relationship with nature, our relationship with people, our relationship with ourselves and the spirit.”

Landau’s Empire magazine interview also revealed that there will be “a big time jump” for “Avatar 4,” which will then lead into “Avatar 5” and its partial setting on Earth. The producer previously confirmed “Avatar 5” would visit Earth in an interview with Gizmodo, saying, “We go to it to open people’s eyes, open Neytiri’s eyes, to what exists on Earth.”

What exactly will Earth look like in the “Avatar” world? Fans know that Earth is dying, which is why the Resources Development Administration (RDA) has come to Pandora in order to create a new sustainable planet for humans. Landau told Empire “there’s over-population and a depletion of our natural resources that make life harder” in “Avatar’s” version of Earth.

“But we don’t want to paint a bleak picture for where our world is going,” the producer added. “The films are also about the idea that we can change course.”

“Avatar: The Way of Water” is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Mais vu la perfection des effets spéciaux, j'ai envie de dire, prends toi le nombre d'années qu'il te faut Cameron

Dommage ... Du coup je suppose que ça va décaler toute la saga ?

Ça va être long !

Oui c'est le cas, tu peux le voir sur les autres sujets (et pas que d'un an !)

Et si cela fait comme pour le deuxième opus, on n'est pas à l'abri de nouveaux reports par la suite !

Sam Worthington a déclaré que la suite d'Avatar continuera son tournage dans 1 mois : "C'est plus grand que vous ne pouvez l'imaginer".

People a écrit:

Sam Worthington Says Avatar Starts to Shoot Again in 1 Month: ‘It's Bigger Than You Can Imagine’ (Exclusive)

Worthington exclusively spoke to PEOPLE at the 'Lift' Netflix premiere on Monday

Sam Worthington is gearing up for Avatar's imminent return!
“We go back to work on it in a month and it's big,” Worthington tells PEOPLE of the next installment in the fantasy franchise. “It's bigger than you can imagine.”

The actor, 47, was exclusively speaking to PEOPLE on Monday at the Lift Netflix premiere held at Lincoln Center in New York City.

The Avatar franchise features Worthington playing the role of Jake Sully, while  Zoe Saldaña portrays Neytiri. It kicked off with the original in 2009, while Avatar: The Way of Water hit theaters in 2022.

And in December, director James Cameron told PEOPLE that Avatar 3 “is right on track” after it was originally set to be released on Dec. 20, 2024, but was pushed back to Dec. 19, 2025.

Speaking about the process of making the third Avatar movie, Cameron shared that "three is actually much more straightforward than two," in terms of production.

"Two, we got hit with the pandemic in the middle of it and we were interrupted, and then we had to reboot and reboot the production and all that sort of thing. And it was a scramble to get it done," he reflected on the process of making Avatar: The Way of Water.

He also spoke about the fourth Avatar movie, which is set to be released in 2029.

"We see them and then we go away for six years and we come back,” he told PEOPLE. “And so the part where we come back is the part we haven't shot yet. So we'll start on that after three is released."
Avatar: The Way of Water, grossed a colossal $2.3 billion worldwide but didn't unseat Avatar's throne, which stands as the highest-grossing film of all time with $2.9 billion.

As for what fans can expect from movie three, Cameron confirmed that Kate Winslet will return to reprise her role as Ronal. He also added that Winslet "went to school" learning from "a husband and wife shaman practice" to master techniques she will employ in the next Avatar.
