The opposite is true on Avatar. <\/p>\n
“Jim [Cameron] still believes that the good things take time. And as a composer, having that ability to refine and to make something special is something that is rare these days.”<\/p>\n
The director also went to great lengths to ensure his latest film is free from artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
“He very specifically asked me, ‘So, we’re not using any AI? We’re not putting any real musicians out of work’,” Franglen recalls.<\/p>\n
“It’s fair to say that if you gave a lot of film producers the option to save money, they would take that option. <\/p>\n
“Jim is in a situation where he will not compromise, and that’s as important when it comes to the music as it is to the live performances of the actors.”<\/p>\n
As the film prepares to open, Franglen is celebrating a Golden Globe nomination for the theme song, Dream As One, sung by Miley Cyrus.<\/p>\n
But he’s also thinking about what comes next. Cameron has already completed the scripts for Avatar Four and Five; scheduled to come out in 2029 and 2031.<\/p>\n
“Four is\u2026 I think it’s astonishing,” says Franglen. “It goes into whole new territories, and I love it.”<\/p>\n
Initial footage has already been shot, but Cameron says completing the film will depend on the box office performance of Fire and Ash.<\/p>\n
“I really hope that we break even, so that we can make it,” says Franglen.<\/p>\n
“I think they said after Avatar Two that the break even point was $1.4 billion (\u00a31 billion). <\/p>\n
“I have no way of knowing, but I presume that it’s a similar number for this one. <\/p>\n
“So if the audience tells us that they want an Avatar Four, I’m very much looking forward to doing that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The opposite is true on Avatar. “Jim [Cameron] still believes that the good things take time.
