James Cameron's Avatar is the highest-grossing film in history, with the visionary director originally planning to release a slew of sequels to the 2009 film over the next few years.
Now, in the days leading up to the debut of the franchise's second installment, Cameron has revealed that the script of the fourth installment elicited the response "Holy f**k" from one of Disney's executives. The director made this revelation during a recent interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, where he also discussed his writing process and producing The Way of Water.
During the interview, the 68-year-old actor revealed that the studio gave him three pages of notes when he submitted the script for the first sequel Avatar: The Way of Water. For the next sequel, Avatar 3, he got one page of notes. However, when he turned in the script for Avatar 4, all he got was "Holy f**k." In his words, " When I turned in the script for 4, the studio executive, creative executive over the films wrote me an email that said, 'Holy fuck.' And I said, 'Well, where are the notes?' And she said, 'Those are the notes.' Because it kind of goes nuts in a good way, right?"
This interview is not the first time Cameron will talk about Avatar 4. While talking to Empire earlier in the year, he described the film as a "corker" and a "motherfu**er." He also revealed that he wasn't certain the film will see the light of day or if he will be in the directorial seat. Nevertheless, he expressed his hopes that the film will be developed.
