\nThe wordless trailer for the long-awaited sequel, in theaters December 16, will no doubt leave fans speechless. James Cameron\u2019s history-making franchise is back. \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d is set more than a decade after the events of the first film, which was the highest-grossing film of all time after debuting in 2009. The sequel tells the story of the Sully family \u2014 Jake, Neytiri, and their children \u2014 as their land becomes torn apart. Per an official synopsis, the Sully family endures danger, battles to the death, and tragedy throughout the film. Cameron directs the feature and produces alongside Jon Landau. \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d stars Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, and Kate Winslet.The original film will also be re-released in theaters on September 23, before the sequel premieres December 16. <\/p>\n

\u201cAvatar 2\u201d returns to the fictional planet of Pandora, with much of the movie taking place in the planet\u2019s oceans. Cameron developed new technology in order to film motion capture scenes underwater, something never previously achieved. But the underwater sequences are not all movie magic, as 70-year-old Weaver held her breath underwater for six minutes at a time while filming. The cast also includes franchise newcomers Michelle Yeoh and Winslet, teaming up again with Cameron after \u201cTitanic.\u201d A third film was filmed simultaneously and is slated to soar into theaters in December 2023. And as soon as those films are done with post-production, Cameron and company will start shooting \u201cAvatar 4\u201d and \u201cAvatar 5\u201d back to back.<\/p>\n

Producer Landau explained at CinemaCon that \u201ceach story will come to its own conclusion, and each movie will deliver to audiences fulfilling emotional resolutions,\u201d despite the multiple sequels in the works. Cameron previously told Entertainment Weekly that \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d combines his \u201ctwo greatest loves,\u201d filmmaking and ocean exploration. He pioneered new technology to dismiss often-used techniques to simulate filming underwater, or as Cameron called it, \u201cdry for wet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018It\u2019s not going to work. It\u2019s not going to look real,’\u201d Cameron recalled. \u201cI even let them run a test, where we captured dry for wet, and then we captured in water, a crude level of our in-water capture. And it wasn\u2019t even close.\u201d Check out the sweeping, water-centric trailer below. \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d premieres December 16 in theaters.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
