James Cameron Plans for a Brand New "Avatar" Spin-Off
Yara Sameh James Cameron is planning to expand his blockbuster 'Avatar' franchise. In an interview with Empire magazine, Cameron, the writer, director and creator of the Avatar films, unveiled his plans for that world, which included him saying that he told Disney he wants to make more Avatar stories using animation. 'I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world',' the Titanic director recalled. 'There might even be an animated feature in there — it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature.' Cameron went on to note that 'great examples' for his idea include The Animatrix, because 'they went afield in the Matrix world.' However, the Oscar winner explained how his ideas for Avatar haven't left the drawing board. 'We haven't done much with that yet. We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing,' he said. 'I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it.' Cameron's third Avatar film, "Avatar: Fire and Ash", is set to release in theaters on December 19, and the first trailer for it dropped on Monday, is already receiving rave reviews and being called 'some of the most beautiful footage I've seen all year.' Also on the horizon for Cameron is an unknown 3D project he's working on with Billie Eilish that was announced earlier this month. 'So you may have noticed that there are more cameras than usual in here. Basically, I can't say much about it, but what I can say is that I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's going to be in 3D,' the singer told the crowd at night one of her Manchester shows. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

In new A24 movie 'Eternity,' Elizabeth Olsen must choose between 2 dead husbands
When you die, should you spend eternity with your first husband or your last? That's the question at the center of 'Eternity' — watch the trailer now. Picture this: You die and get to choose how you want to spend forever — which includes your one true love. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Unfortunately, in the case of the new A24 movie Eternity, which dropped its first trailer on Tuesday, the sweet hereafter comes with a catch: You have two dead husbands, and they're both vying for a spot next to you in the afterlife. Eep! Eternity stars Elizabeth Olsen as Joan, the woman in question, who dies shortly after the death of her second husband, Larry, played by Miles Teller. But while Teller's character is eager to get a jump on the rest of their immortal lives, his wife's first husband, Luke, played by The Boys in the Boat actor Callum Turner, appears. Apparently, Luke died in 'the war' decades earlier — and he's been waiting for his wife to arrive to kickstart his own eternity ever since. So, how do you pick?! While the movie will, we hope, answer that question, people who watched the new trailer offered their thoughts in the YouTube comments. Some people thought the ending was reminiscent of Titanic, in which Rose (played by Kate Winslet) seemingly spends the afterlife with her pals on the sunken ship, and her lover-of-two-days Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) instead of the husband she spent more than 40 years raising a family with. Most people, however, saw Joan picking second husband, Larry, in the end. 'Prediction: Miles Teller wins his wife by giving her his blessing to choose Callum Turner instead of him, because he just wants his wife to be happy and her new husband turns out to be too selfish to do the same, proving Miles Teller cares more about Elizabeth Olsen and that she should pick him,' one wrote. Another said, 'Not me immediately wanting to cry just thinking about how hard it is going to be for her to followed by me thinking, 'Can't all three of them just be together for eternity?'' The idea that Olsen's character may not need to choose resonated with another viewer, who wrote, 'I hope Elizabeth Olsen makes a world for all three of them.' And another joked, 'OMG imagine dying and realizing that compulsory monogamy exists even in the afterlife.' While a throuple is certainly a possibility, Teller's character doesn't believe that it's the best route. When he sees how his wife's former spouse is laying on the romance, he vows to make her remember why she fell for him in the first place. But will it be enough to get to spend eternity with his one true love? Eternity is directed by David Freyne and will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Freyne is credited as cowriter of the film along with former Obama White House aide Patrick Cunnane, whose original script appeared on the 2022 Black List of Hollywood's best unproduced screenplays. Eternity is set to hit theaters in November. Check out the trailer below: Solve the daily Crossword

First trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer released
Don't miss out on the headlines from Upcoming Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. The first full-length trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the next instalment in James Cameron's record-breaking Avatar series, has been released today. Set for release in cinemas this December, the new film follows 2009's Avatar, still the highest-grossing film of all time, and 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, which sits at number three on the all-time box office list (Avengers: Endgame sits between them, while another James Cameron epic, Titanic, sits at number four). The new film features the same main cast as earlier instalments – led by Aussie actor Sam Worthington as Marine turned Na'vi leader Jake Sully, and recent Oscar-winner Zoe Saldana as Na'vi warrior Neytiri. The next Avatar film comes a comparatively short three years after the last one. Fire and Ash is only the third in a planned five-film franchise for Avatar, with more sequels currently scheduled for 2029 and 2031. Cameron's plan to stagger the franchise over a period of more than two decades has been mocked by some, but the results for the first Avatar sequel proved the naysayers wrong: The Way of Water made well over $US2 billion at the global box office, showing there was huge audience appetite despite the 13-year gap between the first two films. But it has been a daunting task for Avatar's cast and crew: 'I was 28 when I signed on to do five films and will be 54 when we finish,' lead actress Saldana once memorably noted. Expect more epic spectacle when the film hits cinemas in December. And speaking to in 2022 before the release of the second film, Worthington insisted he never realised he was signing on for a decades-long endeavour when he agreed to star in the first film. 'A sequel was never really discussed. I think it was many years later, after Jim (director James Cameron) had taken up free diving, that I got a call. The way he was talking about it, I thought, 'OK, I think he's going to incorporate that into something,'' he said. 'But it took a couple of years and a couple of phone calls with Jim to discover that he wanted to keep progressing this story.' Avatar: Fire and Ash is set for release on December 18.
