Contains a mild spoiler for Avatar: Fire and Ash.<\/p>\n

CGI can be incredible. One day, you\u2019re watching\u00a0Avatar: Fire and Ash,<\/a>\u00a0and you see a\u00a0Na\u2019vi<\/a>\u00a0who sounds just like Sigourney Weaver<\/a> on the screen, and just like that, she\u2019s a teenager<\/a> once again. What can\u2019t James Cameron<\/a> do? For the third Avatar movie, Cameron used CGI technology to make the then 72-year-old actress into a blue alien named Kiri. Still, in their quest for cinematic greatness, they forgot one thing: teenagers are horny. Kiri falls in love with Spider (Jack Champion), a human teenager living in Pandora, and they share a kiss. But wait! An actual teen played Spider; Champion was between 14 and 16 when they filmed Avatar 2 & 3. Thankfully, Cameron and Weaver thought of everything.<\/p>\n

Weaver shared how the team was able to film the scene appropriately to THR<\/a>. \u201cObviously I wasn\u2019t going to kiss Jack, who was 14 or 15, in real life. We asked Jack to pick someone I could kiss and he did,\u201d she explained. \u201cThen I imagine when I wasn\u2019t there, they picked someone appropriate for Jack. That concern about all of that, which is quite legitimate, was going on.\u201d She also celebrated Kiri and Spider\u2019s relationship in the movie and how the two are the perfect examples of \u201cmismatched\u201d romance that still works. She added, \u201cI don\u2019t know how tall I\u2019m supposed to be, like 6\u20194, and he\u2019s what, 5\u20198 or something, and I tower over him \u2014 and you can really see it in the film. Being a tall woman myself, height doesn\u2019t matter at all. I love that we\u2019re mismatched. It\u2019s perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n
