James Cameron is still working on three Avatar sequels and he’s apparently giving each one an extra dose of fiber and may be able to take advantage of an obvious marketing tie-in with Activia after this recent quote. Speaking with Empire Cameron dropped this little nugget:
“I can tell you one thing about them. They’re gonna be bitchin’. You will shit yourself with your mouth wide open.”
Yikes, the “mouth wide open” part adds a little extra to that visual don’tcha think?
The outlet also asked him about the frame rate he’s going for with the Avatar shoot and while the experiment with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and 48 frames per second didn’t exactly pay off, Cameron is sticking with it. “My thinking at the time was that 60 [FPS] might be a better segue to the video market,” he said. “I’ll be plugging into a system that’s a little more mature, so it makes sense for me to do 48 frames at this point.”
I just wonder if that means the film will be released at 48fps because, honestly, I don’t need that. After seeing The Hobbit in that format I don’t need to see anything else. 24 is just fine as it has been for many, many years.
