Avatar, one of the most profitable film franchises in history, needs to cut costs?

He’s preparing everyone for an AI announcement, isn’t he?

Or, hear me out, you could use your impressive creativity to make other non-Avatar movies that are beloved classics like you were making before Avatar.

The indiginous species have been oppressed by the shitty humans for 3 movies now. WE GET IT.

Is this a story that needs telling?

Hear me out. Muppets.

has he tried volunteering on set ? or perhaps a bake sale like US schools ?

It’s easy to joke about, but I feel like this is a microcosm of the problems plaguing Hollywood. The notion that a franchise routinely closing in on $2B a movie at the box office is somehow not profitable speaks to how absolutely unhinged the budgets are going in.

He could just stop making them? There's a thought 🤔.

Cut the runtime by a third?

Would making the movies cheaper translate into cheaper ticket prices? My local is $26 a ticket now. It's ridiculous! I'm not going to see everything that comes out when it costs that much, and we've got access to streaming now.

Make the next Avatar movie happen all inside one cave. From time to time messengers arrive from the outside and bring news.

It was a fucking Trilogy man.

I have an idea: cut the film length in half, remove the warfare and turn it into a nature documentary.

My mom really likes the movies, so I went with her to the cinema. I like the progress in CGI and have read their papers on water rendering a bunch of times, and I can feel myself getting immersed when things start off. They are beautiful worlds with so much creativity!

And then the warfare starts and it all turns into a CGI mess with no story value. Such a disappointment.

hasn't all the technology already got cheaper???

Dude it’s okay, you can stop, in fact many of us prefer you do

I guess they should can them and put the money into smaller original projects then... No? Just an excuse to fire most of the CGI contractors and replace them with AI?

He could make blue giant dildos for merch, and simultaneously go fuck himself with one of those.

Easily done:

1. Wait for AI bubble to burst
2. Buy render farm on the cheap
3. Avatar 4

Although I'm assuming that the raw rendering pipeline is what costs the most. I could be dead wrong about that - there's a whole army of artists, technical people, and actors that go into such a production too.

This should be a fun thread

Nobody wants more Avatars

Yeah, maybe don't film in HFR anymore.

Source Engine?

Wow.. that means he will change the cast out.

Why is everyone saying he'll use AI? Boring or not, he did make visually amazing movies with cgi. What makes you think he'll cheat?

…or find a way to make more people watch them, lol.
