One may very well be forgiven for considering, after 13 years, that an Avatar sequel would by no means see the sunshine of day. James Cameron went off did different issues; he moved to New Zealand, he experimented with farming, he may by no means have come again to motion pictures. Then he mentioned he was returning to make extra Avatar motion pictures — 4 of them! — however they stored getting pushed again. Year after yr, the promised sequels received delayed again and again. So much of folks gave up hope.
Well, the primary of 4 potential sequels, Avatar: The Way of Water, is lastly scheduled to return to theaters subsequent month. And one indication that this film actually is taking place this time is that it simply obtained its official ratting from the MPAA. They rated The Way of Water PG-13 “for sequences of strong violence and intense action, partial nudity and some strong language.”
That matches the PG-13 ranking that the unique Avatar obtained — though it was rated for considerably completely different causes. In that case, Cameron received a PG-13 for “intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking.”
So how do the 2 movies differ? Well, for one factor, you’re not going to see anybody smoking onscreen in The Way of Water. (You nearly by no means see anybody smoking in American motion pictures anymore, except it’s some sort of a interval piece, and even then, it’s uncommon.) Both motion pictures have violence, however Avatar had “epic battle sequences” whereas The Way of Water apparently solely has “strong violence” and “intense action,” suggesting the set-pieces could also be a bit of extra intimate (and rather less like a sci-fi battle film) than the final time. And whereas the unique Avatar had “sensuality” this one supposedly has “partial nudity.” Make of that what you’ll.
Avatar: The Way of Water is scheduled to open in theaters on December 16.
