AVATAR 2 Concept Art Shows Off a Cool Underwater Vehicle Being Used in the Film
Avatar 2 director James Cameron is showing off the design for his cool transforming underwater vehicle that will be used in the sci-fi adventure. This is a multi-functional submersible vehicle that will be used by the Resources Development Administration. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Cameron had a real functional version of this vehicle built for himself!
Producer Jon Landau previously talking about the upcoming sequel and what we can expect from it. When talking about the story that the sequel will tell, the producer offers the following tease:
“This is the story of the Sully family and what one does to keep their family together. Jake and Neytiri have a family in this movie, they are forced to leave their home, they go out and explore the different regions of Pandora, including spending quite a bit of time on the water, around the water, in the water.”
We’ve seen a few other set photos from the film that were released while the production was on hold, and it’s cool to see the work that is being done in the water with motion capture tech. We know a big chunk of the story will be set in the water, and I’m actually kind of excited to see how the VFX work looks when the movie is completed.
It’s been previously explained that Avatar 2 is set several years after Avatar. “At the center of each of our four movies will be the Sully family. Each sequel will play as a standalone movie. Each movie’s story will come to its own conclusion… However, when looked at as a whole, the journey across all four movies will create an even larger connected epic saga for audiences around the world.”
Landau also previously opened up about the setting for the sequels, saying:
“As we’ve moved on with the sequels to Avatar we made a very conscious decision to stage the whole four sequels on Pandora. We don’t need to go to another world if we want water, we’re going to go to the oceans of Pandora.
”It’s a continuation of the same characters, but what happen when warriors that are willing to go on suicide charges, and leap off cliffs on to the back of big orange toruks, what happens when they grow up and have their own kids? It becomes a very different story. Now the kids are the risk-takers and the change-makers. So, it’s interesting, but it makes sense to me. Everybody’s either a parent, or they had parents at the very least, and if you look at the big successful franchises now, they’re pretty much uninterested in that.”
It was also revealed that there are different clans of Na’vi all over Pandora:
“We’re going to go to totally different environments, we’re going to meet different cultures. Just like our planet is as diverse culturally as we are environmentally. We want to introduce people to different cultures. In the first movie, we only met the Omaticaya clan, and they are the clan here allowing us to come to the Valley of Mo’ara. But as we venture out we’re going to different environments and different clans.”
Cameron also previously explained that Stephen Lang’s Colonel Miles Quaritch will be the main villain throughout the sequels.
The Avatar sequels also star Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Joel David Moore, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, and Matt Gerald. New cast members include Kate Winslet, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Vin Diesel, Jemaine Clement, and Oona Chaplin.
