First images ‘Avatar 3’ revealed by Zoe Saldaña in Cinemacon

Are you ready to return to Pandora?

Disney detected the first images of Avatar: fire and ash For exhibitors in Cinemacon on Thursday, presented by James Cameron in a video segment. Cameron explained that he was in New Zealand to finish the film but was happy to share an “overview of the increase in the emotional heart and soul”.

Cameron has also teased that our heroes “face not only human invaders, but also to new adversaries, the people of the ashes”.

Avatar Star Zoe Saldaña then went on stage to tease the film. “”Fire and ash Expands the magnificent world of Pandora and presents two new clans, the traders of the wind and the ASH, “she explained.

The images open with Neytiri (Saldaña) saying to Jake (Sam Worthington), “The strength of the ancestors is here.”

Later, after the pair deals with dangerous attacks involving a lot of fire, Jake implores Neytiri to let go of his hatred: “You cannot live like that.” Towards the end of the images, a character deplores: “We cannot defeat this enemy who comes from the stars.”

About three minutes of sequences gave the theater owners a first overview of the fantastic science fiction film with Cameron, which should be a major December for the studio.

The first two Avatar The films beat the box office, the first, in 2009, becoming the most profitable film of all time, earning 2.9 billion dollars in the world. The second, 2022 The Water Waterhas become the third very profitable film of all time, exceeding expectations to win $ 2.3 billion worldwide.

The release of The Water Water was accompanied by worrying about whether Cameron could recreate the magic of the original box office, which was fueled by heavy 3D ticket sales. There seems to be less pancake Fire and ash – which is published on December 19 – Given the undeniable record of the Oscar -winning screenwriter and his usual confidence that the third film will deliver.

“It’s really cool”, teased Cameron Hollywood Reporter Last August. “You’re going to love it. The director added to another interview: “I showed it to a few selected people, and the comments have been that it is definitely the most emotional and perhaps the best of the three so far. We will discover it, you know, but I feel pretty good.

That said, Cameron has teased that Fire and ash “Will be a little longer” than The Water WaterWhich really says something since the last film was 3 hours and 12 minutes.

“In a word, we had too many big ideas packed in the act one of Movie 2“Said Cameron last month.” The (film) was moving like a high -speed train, and we do not receive enough on the character. So I said: “The guys, we have to divide it.” Film 3 will actually be a little longer than Film 2. “”

The original Avatar Had an operating time of 2 hours and 42 minutes. A longer execution time, of course, means fewer potential theatrical projections during a day, which could have an impact on ticket sales.

The official description of Fire and ash: “The family of Jake and Neytiri is struggling with sorrow after the death of Neteyam, meeting a new aggressive Navi tribe, the ASH People, led by the Fiery Varang, while the conflict on degenerates Pandora and a new moral orientation emerges.” The film features Worthington, Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Bliss, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Matt Gerald, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Bailey Bass, Jenaine Clement and David Thewlis.

Cameron provides five Avatar Films in all, with Avatar 4 set for December 21, 2029, and Avatar 5 December 19, 2031.
