James Cameron has spent the last 16 years of his life telling the story of\u00a0Avatar, and he\u2019s damn well going to finish it one way or another\u2014even if he has to hop up in front of a podium and start rattling off every thought he\u2019s ever had about Eywa to get it done. Cameron emphasized this dedication to Na\u2019vi-based storytelling in a recent interview where he made it clear that, even if his latest film, Avatar: Fire And Ash<\/a>, somehow doesn\u2019t make enough money to justify his long-planned\u00a0Avatars\u00a04\u00a0and\u00a05, he\u2019ll \u201chold a press conference\u201d to reveal where the story would have wound up going.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s already pretty clear that Cameron won\u2019t have to go through with this promise, which he made to\u00a0<\/a>Entertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0shortly before\u00a0Fire And Ash\u00a0hit theaters: The film made $500 million in its first week in theaters, which, while a slight drop in comparison to Avatar\u00a0and sequel\u00a0Way Of Water, still demolishes the vast majority of films that have ever been released on the planet Earth. Given our species\u2019 apparently inexhaustible passion for watching people hook their weird hair-brain-nerve things into various trees and animals, the chances that Cameron won\u2019t get the green light from Disney to finish out his saga now seems rather low.<\/p>\n

Still, you have to admire a guy who simply won\u2019t be stopped from telling you about a dream he had that one time, and there\u2019s a part of us that (non-spitefully!) wishes Fire And Ash might suddenly bomb, because holy shit, do we want to be at that press conference. Do you think Cameron would run it with a Powerpoint, the better to keep all his Omatikayas, Metkayinas, and Mangkwans in order? Or can the man just spit this stuff straight off the dome, without ever confusing a Toruk with a Tulkun? We can imagine it so clearly: Cameron gripping the sides of his lectern, explaining\u2014with that vague air of \u201cWhy don\u2019t you idiots get this?\u201d frustration he seems to default to sometimes\u2014how all of this was, ultimately, simply Eywa\u2019s will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Cameron has spent the last 16 years of his life telling the story of\u00a0Avatar, and he\u2019s damn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-339163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
