It’s almost a meme at this point about how long it has taken for a sequel to 2009’s Avatar to get made, but the film is definitely coming out this year and apparently it will make us cry. Speaking in a new interview series star Zoe Saldana opened up about working on the project and why it has taken so long while also confirming that she’s seen some footage and it brought her to tears. Saldana confirmed that among the biggest reasons the sequel has been in the works for so long is that Cameron wasn’t sure how to photograph underwater sequences while still using motion capture technology on his actors, as she puts it though, “he did it.”
“I was speechless…I was moved to tears.“Zoe Saldana saw 20-minutes of AVATAR 2. Love this answer about James Cameron. The underwater performance-capture technology should be incredible. #TheAdamProject #Avatar2 pic.twitter.com/u79EOEsQHQ
