Avatar 2 release date...

Avatar 2 release date, plot, cast and everything you need to know about James Cameron's long-awaited sequel.

2009 feels like a long time ago now, but cast your mind back and you might remember that little phenomenon called Avatar, James Cameron's CG smash hit which still holds the record for highest box-office gross ever with a comfortable margin of $600 million over the director's other smash-hit, Titanic.
Since then, Cameron has teased us with a promised two sequels, later bumping that up to three, and then again to four, which are set to film back-to-back. It's a tale of delays and woe, but it still looks like Avatar 2 is coming, eventually...
Here's everything you need to know as you wait to return to the alien landscape of Pandora.


Avatar 2 shoot date: When's it going to finally start?

This just in! Only EIGHT WHOLE YEARS after the last movie, and Avatar 2 is apparently due to start filming on Monday 25 September. This was announced on twitter by The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit. We can hardly believe it ourselves.

The story of the development of Avatar 2 (which probably won't be its final name) is one of delays. Filming was expected to finally begin in April of 2016 but that just didn't happen. Then it was announced in January 2017 that work on the motion capture would be starting in August 2017.
It could be the case that now the wheels are finally in motion we'll be getting Avatar's flying at us as fast as we can bat them away.
"The thing is, my focus isn't on Avatar 2. My focus is on Avatar 2, 3, 4 and 5 equally. That's exactly how I'm approaching it. They've all been developed equally," Cameron told The Daily Beast.
"I've just finished the script to Avatar 5. I'm now starting the process of active prep. I'll be working with the actors in the capture volume in August, so I'm booked in production every day between now and then."
True to that statement, Zoe Saldana has confirmed that she's already finished filming on James Cameron's Avatar 2 and 3.


Avatar 2 release date: Someday, somehow


The movie was originally scheduled for release in December 2014, with the third film arriving in December 2015, which of course also didn't happen. After the fourth film was added to the plans, they were pushed back to December 2016, 2017 and 2018 releases.
Then, in January 2015, it was announced that Avatar 2 would now be coming in December 2017, with Cameron saying that the "very involved" writing process was to blame for the wait.
But the story doesn't end there. This January, Avatar 2 was delayed again, the wide assumption being that it ran scared after Star Wars Episode 8 slipped from May to December 2017.
The current official release dates are December 18, 2020, for Avatar 2, December 17, 2021, for Avatar 3, December 20, 2024, for Avatar 4 and December 19, 2025, for Avatar 5. Production will allegedly begin on September 25, 2017.
Cameron has generally been distinctly non-committal about the delays.
"The important thing for me is not when the first one comes out but the cadence of the release pattern," He told Variety.
"I want them to be released as close together as possible. If it's an annual appointment to show up at Christmas, I want to make sure that we're able to fulfil on that promise."

How Did They Actually Animate The ‘Hotel Transylvania 3 Characters?

By their very nature, the Hotel Transylvania films have a lot of different characters. And since they range from humans to monsters and other creatures, each character tends to have its own attributes.  But how are those attributes brought to life on screen? Cartoon Brew asked Sony Pictures Imageworks animation supervisor Alan Hawkins how three different characters in the new Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation , the latest film in the Hotel Transylvania franchise from director Genndy Tartakovsky and Sony Pictures Animation, went from script to design to their final form, and what that means practically for the animators.   These character challenges relate to the green blob monster, Blobby (which was actually voiced by Tartakovsky), Count Dracula’s rapid bat transformations, and a brand new character, the giant sea monster Kraken (voiced by Joe Jonas). Building Blobby Blobby is a gelatinous monster, and so is not only translucent but also capable of forming several

Is there a special formula for Disney animated films?

“We never know how the things are gonna do,” says Mark Henn, a veteran Disney animator. “We work hard to do the very best we can and make the best movie we possibly can.” In photo: A still shot from "Ralph Breaks the Internet." Photo courtesy of WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS Manila (CNN Philippines Life) —  Before Disney became the animation powerhouse that it is today, it suffered monumental losses because of a series of commercial flops in the ‘70s until the mid-‘80s. In 1989, however, Disney released a film adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen classic, “The Little Mermaid,” which became the highest-grossing animated film of that year, trumping “The Land Before Time,” and winning the Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song (for “Under the Sea”). An unexpected heroine, Ariel ushered in what is now known as the Disney Renaissance. Besides “The Little Mermaid’s” iconic songs, one that stood out during that time was the color choice f

271 Years Before Pantone, an Artist Mixed and Described Every Color Imaginable in an 800-Page Book

In 1692 an artist known only as “A. Boogert” sat down to write a book in Dutch about mixing watercolors. Not only would he begin the book with a bit about the use of color in painting, but would go on to explain how to create certain hues and change the tone by adding one, two, or three parts of water. The premise sounds simple enough, but the final product is almost unfathomable in its detail and scope. Spanning nearly 800 completely handwritten (and painted) pages,  Traité des couleurs servant à la peinture à l’eau , was probably the most comprehensive guide to paint and color of its time. According to Medieval book historian Erik Kwakkel who translated part of the introduction, the color book was intended as an educational guide. The irony being there was only a single copy that was probably seen by very few eyes. It’s hard not to compare the hundreds of pages of color to its contemporary equivalent, the Pantone Color Guide, which wouldn’t be published for the first time until 1
