Sam Worthington & Zoe Saldaña Interview: James Cameron Wrote Avatar 1.5 Script
488Over a decade since the record-breaking release of James Cameron’s Avatar, the Academy Award-winning director takes us back to Pandora in the long-awaited sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. In the first of Cameron’s projected four sequels, fans will travel from the dense jungle of the Omaticaya to the open ocean of the Metkayina clan.
Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri now serve as the Omaticaya clan’s leaders and have spent the years since the events of the first film rebuilding their home and growing their family. When the "sky people" return to Pandora to continue their destructive pursuit of the moon's resources, and the moon itself, Jake faces a difficult decision. With four children, including their adopted daughter Kiri played by Sigourney Weaver, Jake chooses to flee with his family in an effort to keep his people safe from Recom Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and the RDA.
Ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water’s official theatrical release on December 16th, Collider’s Perri Nemiroff was able to sit down with Worthington and Saldaña to discuss the film. During their interview, Worthington reveals that Cameron gifted him an Avatar 1.5 script covering what went down between these first two films. They also discuss how the experience of working with Cameron has evolved since the first film, the difficulties of filming underwater, and the deep passion for the material everyone brought to set.
