James Cameron revealed in September that he spent an entire year writing a sequel to “Avatar” that ended up in the trash. So what exactly is that sequel? The director finally revealed the details for Total Film Magazine About the canceled movie “Avatar”, including its official title: “Avatar: The Higher Ground”. The scrapped text came in over 100 pages.
“I was working with a team of writers. We had a lot of ideas,” Cameron said. “We kept trying to put it in a box, and it just didn’t fit right in. So at a certain point, I said, “I’m going to finish it, and see if it’s a movie.” she did. It came out, I think, in 130 pages. It was like, man, this is a great story. This is a hell of a read. ”
Cameron explained that “Avatar: The High Ground” was left out because it “was missing one of the crucial elements about the sequences, which was that it didn’t go far enough into the unexpected.” “It also didn’t play enough with the rules of ‘Avatar’, which is to connect us with the dream world, that which contains a spiritual element that we can’t even define in words. It marked every other square, but it didn’t specify that.”
Cameron and his team took some elements of “Avatar: The High Ground” and punctuated them throughout the sequel that ended up being, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and the upcoming third “Avatar” movie. He also transformed items that were not used in the graphic novel arriving December 6.
“There are some great things about it,” Cameron said. “I mean, you have Na’vi battling with bows and arrows in zero-c. I mean, I’m there! I want to see this movie but it just didn’t achieve enough of the overall story and objective goals I was thinking of. So we made it into a graphic novel from Dark Horse. It’s going to be able to see that temporary battle that took place between the first movie and the second movie.”
“Avatar The Way of Water” opens in theaters nationwide on December 16.
