Although there is still a long way to go before its premiere, it is evident that Avatar 3 It is one of the most anticipated films of next year. After raising more than five billion dollars with just two films, the third installment of the saga aims to break records of all kinds, and its production reflects that ambition.
In an interview with the French media The ParisianThe movie director, James Cameron, revealed that filming with actors has already concluded, but now comes the most difficult part: the post-production work. Although he acknowledges that the pace is quite slow, Cameron wanted to make it clear that the release date is practically immovable.
The film will be released in December 2025. We have already finished filming with actors, and now I am working on the virtual recording part. Alone, in a room, he filmed with a virtual camera, reusing scenes captured with actors. I create sequences using the angles I want and make the sets, the machines, the creatures. “It’s a process that lasts years, we watch about a minute of film a day.”
Cameron has revealed that this post-production process progresses at a rate of one minute per day. If we do the math, post-production would last approximately 200 days if the film lasts just over three hours, as happened with the second installment, so the pace at hand is relatively good.
Everything indicates that this third installment will mark a before and after in the franchise. Cameron has commented in previous interviews that the fourth film will experience a time jump due to the age of the younger actors and actresses. Avatar 3 will hit theaters around the world on December 19, 2025.
