Las Vegas - (AFP) - The company "Disney" in Las Vegas revealed the first scenes of the second part of the movie "Avatar", the main part of which still occupies first place in the history of cinema in terms of revenue worldwide, while the director considered James Cameron said that the new work "will push the boundaries of what cinema can offer."
The attendees of the "CinemaCon" forum put on 3D glasses to immerse themselves in the trailer for the new movie "Avatar: The Way of Water" and return to the planet "Pandora", where they saw its blue-skinned inhabitants swimming and floating in the air.
Disney distribution director Tony Chambers confirmed the title chosen for the sequel to "Avatar," and said, "I assure you, the work was worth the wait."
And "Avatar: The Way of Water" will be shown in cinemas next December, and it is supposed to be followed by three other parts of this series, whose original film has grossed about $ 2.8 billion since its launch in 2009.
Each work will constitute a separate film from the other parts, with its own plot. Producer John Landau said that the four parts will not be part of a single narrative story, but together they will represent a series of great importance.
Cameron was speaking to the audience at CinemaCon from New Zealand, where he was putting the finishing touches on the new work.
The director assured those present at Cinema Con that they would see a work characterized by great technical developments compared to the first part. And in the new part, a family is established for its main characters, Jake Sully (played by Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (embodied by Zoe Saldana).
"We decided once again to go beyond what cinema can offer," Cameron said, heading to the owners of cinemas gathered in Las Vegas for their annual gathering, in which major production companies present their latest work.
And the president of "Marvel Studios" Kevin Feige opened the presentation of excerpts from the second part of "Avatar".
Attendees also watched long excerpts from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which opens next week, about a magician played by Benedict Cumberbatch who encounters flying octopuses and meets a teenage girl who travels from one world to another.
The year 2022 will also witness the release of two other large-scale films centered on the famous superheroes "Thor" and "Black Panther".
And Pixar showed thirty minutes of its movie "Light Year", a work that deals with the past of Buzz, the brave astronaut in the "Toy Story" series, who took over the embodiment of the voice of Chris Evans. In the film, set for release in June, Buzz feels guilty after causing his fellow space guardians to drown on a hostile planet. In order to try to save them, he must go to the future with a robotic kitten.
Scenes from “Amsterdam”, a romantic and police film that takes place in the thirties of the last century, were also shown in “Cinema Cone”, in which a number of stars, including Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, Margot Robbie and Chris Rock, participated.
