News Synopsis

James Cameron, director of "Avatar 2", revealed that the screenplay took more than 13 years to create. Variety reports that Cameron revealed that a complete 'Avatar 2" screenplay was created before the release of "Avatar: The Way of Water." This screenplay was then discarded. The screenplay will never be seen again, and it took at least a year to complete the 13-year span between 2009's "Avatar” and 2022's" "The Way of Water."

Director stated that  "When I sat down with my writers to start 'Avatar 2,' I said we cannot do the next one until we understand why the first one did so well." "We must crack the code of what the hell happened."

Cameron and his team found the solution. Cameron shared "All films work on different levels. The first is surface, which is character, problem, and resolution. The second is thematic. What is the movie trying to say? But 'Avatar' also works on a third level, the subconscious. I wrote an entire script for the sequel, read it and realized that it did not get to level three. Boom. Start over. That took a year."

Cameron spoke out about this third level, which he believes enabled "Avatar", to be the most successful movie at the global box office.

According to Variety, Cameron said that "Avatar", which was the highest-grossing movie at the global box office, had been revealed by him last year during a podcast called "The Marianne Williamson Podcast".

He stated, "There was a tertiary level as well...it was a dreamlike sense of a yearning to be there, to be in that space, to be in a place that is safe and where you wanted to be." "Whether that was flying, that sense of freedom and exhilaration, or whether it's being in the forest where you can smell the earth. It was a sensory thing that communicated on such a deep level. That was the spirituality of the first film."
