“Avatar: The Way of Water” is currently thrilling dozens of visitors in cinemas worldwide. Hardly that the theatrical release of the second part of the Avatar films has started, astonishing news emerge. According to sources, James Cameron will have 9 hours of footage animated for Avatar 3.
While “Avatar: The Way of Water” draws numerous viewers to cinemas worldwide , director James Cameron is already hard at work on the third part of his planned film series. It has now been found that Cameron plans to animate 9 hours of footage for Avatar 3. Are there any chances of a special uncut version of “Avatar 3”?
9 HOURS OF FOOTAGE FOR AVATAR 3 WILL RECEIVE ANIMATIONS
“Avatar: The Way of Water” has been in German cinemas for almost a week now. Fans had to wait 13 years for the sequel to “Avatar: Dawn of Pandora”. The length of time between the second and third part of James Cameron’s film series, on the other hand, should follow one another much earlier. The film is scheduled to hit the cinemas as early as 2024 – consecutively and this period of time could even be feasible. Because “Avatar 3” has long since been shot, the complex animation process for the film is now following. And in the process, startling news came to light. Because it seems that James Cameron is planningto animate the full 9 hours of footage for Avatar 3. An extremely unusual approach that makes fans around the world sit up and take notice.
It’s not uncommon for films to be significantly longer during filming than the end result that eventually ends up in theaters. Films emerge from creative processes and in the individual stages there is initially much more room to pursue different ideas and approaches. However, not all of them find their place in the final cut, which will ultimately make up the film . Because the animation process is a laborious job, it’s unusual to have full footage animated. Normally, the red pencil would be used beforehand to save the filmto be brought to a suitable cinematic length and only this version would be equipped with animations. 9 hours of footage for “Avatar 3 ” is therefore not a big surprise. Ultimately, however, more than 5 to 6 of these hours are likely to be cut out so that the film has an ideal length for the cinema release in 2024.
CHANCES FOR A FUTURE UNCUT VERSION OF “AVATAR 3”?
Speculations differ as to why Cameron requested animation of all nine hours of footage. On the one hand, it seems logical that the director can judge the final effect of the film better when all scenes have already been equipped with the desired effects. However, Avatar fans hope that this elaborate animation process could bear completely different fruits. Finally, if the footage were fully animated, a special uncut version of the film could be available outside of theaters, which would also include all the scenes that were cut for the theatrical version. So far, no one from the film crew has officially commented on this thesis.
