AVATAR 2 to take place under the sea?

AVATAR was a huge commercial smash, that goes without saying. But it was also James Cameron’s brainchild, a project that he had conceived of long before it ever reached theaters. With both of these things considered, it isn’t very surprising that Cameron would want to make a sequel to the first film. We’ve long known at least one was on its way, but little was known about the film itself.

Michelle Rodriguez has given us an idea, however, and let us in on what we could expect from the sequel. Rodriguez says that the film will take place under the sea. We have heard this in the past, but this could be further proof that the film actually will be underwater. She also hopes to be involved in some way, since her character died in the first film, even if it only consists of a set visit. An underwater AVATAR film could be pretty intense, just imagine the creatures they could create for it. Continue reading “AVATAR 2 to take place under the sea?” →

3D without glasses a futuristic possibility?

Whenever you try to think of an authority on 3D technology, it isn’t much of a jump to end up on James Cameron. Despite your feelings about AVATAR, it was a groundbreaking film with revolutionary 3D. The next logical step will certainly have to be 3D without the glasses, something Cameron believes will be obtained, but not till we wait a little bit. Years even.

Cameron feels that 3D without glasses is still about eight to ten years away from happening, a time frame that seems somewhat justifiable. Look how long it took us to achieve the kind of 3D we have now accomplished. It took decades. The kind of 3D we’ve come to expect is nothing like the 3D that we remember from the eighties.

James Cameron is producing FANTASTIC VOYAGE 3-D

Fantastic Voyage

I know what you’re thinking, and no it isn’t a feature version of the Coolio song (oh, how I miss you, 1994). Although Hollywood’s remake fever is usually annoying, some projects reek of promise. As of now, that seems to be the case for this project.

James Cameron spoke with MTV about his next project he is developing at Fox, a remake of the 1966 classic, FANTASTIC VOYAGE. Cameron will not be directing this movie though, however, he will be the producer. The original was about a team of doctors who are shrunk and sent inside the president’s body after an assassination attempt. They run into many obstacles on their submarine journey to his brain to remove a blood clot, which will save his life.

Being that Cameron is producing the film, it has a very good chance at being awesome. I can’t wait to see this story with the special effects that we have today. After seeing how amazing AVATAR looks in 3-D, The 3-D for this film seems more promising. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this project in coming months.
