Along with some parts of the first act of AVATAR 3, which is set to come out on December 22, 2025, the filming for AVATAR 4 started in late 2022. The filming takes place in various locations, including New Zealand, Hawaii, and Los Angeles, where the director, James Cameron, and the cast and crew are working hard to bring the vision to life.
The film will feature a “big time jump” of six years after the first act, which will be shot after AVATAR 3 is released. This means that the film will span over a decade of the story, showing the changes and challenges that the characters face over time. The film will also introduce new tribes of Na’vi, such as the reef people clan of Metkayina and fire and wind-based ones, who will play a crucial role in the conflict and resolution of the film.
Some characters from the original film, such as Colonel Quaritch and Parker Selfridge, will make a comeback in the movie. Their memories are transferred into Na’vi avatars. This will create a dramatic twist in the story. The former enemies of the Na’vi will have to adapt to their new bodies and culture. They may even have to ally with the Na’vi against a new threat. The film will also feature Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), Zoë Saldaña (Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (Kiri), and Britain Dalton (Lo’ak). Britain Dalton will narrate the subsequent two sequels.
The film was initially planned to be released in 2018, but it has been pushed back five times, making it the longest gap between any two films in the series. However, the franchise fans have been patient and supportive as they eagerly await the next chapter of the epic saga.
On the winter solstice, which is the longest night and shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, AVATAR 4 will be released. This could symbolize the dark and dangerous situation of the Na’vi in the film, as well as the hope of a new dawn. The release date is also close to the Christmas and New Year holidays, typically peak seasons for movie-going audiences. This could boost the box office performance of the film, as well as its awards prospects. The release date also marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the original AVATAR film, which was also released on December 18, 2009. This could create a sense of nostalgia and celebration for the franchise fans, who have been following the story for two decades.
The film will use cutting-edge technology to immerse the audience further in Pandora’s world. This includes motion capture, 3D cinematography, and visual effects. The film will also feature a new musical score by James Horner, who composed the music for the original movie and the first two sequels before his tragic death in 2015. The film will also have a new theme song, sung by a famous artist, who will be revealed later.
AVATAR 4 will be groundbreaking and thrilling. It will take the audience on a new adventure with new characters, worlds, and challenges. The film will also explore the creative process. It will address the decision to cater to the fan base by delivering solid visuals, a compelling story, and emotional resonance. The film will testify to James Cameron’s vision, dedication, and the cast and crew’s passion and talent. The film will be a news report with a personal touch. It will share the behind-the-scenes stories, the challenges, and achievements. It will also share the hopes and dreams of the people involved in making the film.
The film will be rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi violence and action sequences, some language, and thematic elements. The film will be a must-see for franchise fans and anyone who loves sci-fi, adventure, and fantasy. The film will be a cinematic event that will not be forgotten.
