Avatar: The Way of Water: What to Expect

16 Dec 2022  |  ChapterZ Magazine - We are a movement, not a moment.  |  English  |  Technology in Filmmaking

Avatar: The Way of Water, released on December 16, 2022, is set in the oceans of Pandora and features returning cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Sigourney Weaver in a new role. Director James Cameron developed new underwater motion capture technology, resulting in a high budget of $350-400 million. The film needs to gross at least $2.04 billion to break even. Cameron is confident in its success, drawing parallels to his previous hits, Aliens and Terminator 2. The trailer hints at a soft restart rather than a direct sequel, with Stephen Lang's character returning as the villain. If successful, Cameron could become the first director with three consecutive films grossing over two billion dollars each.

Horses, Lassos, and Can-Can – Numerous Western Films Have Been Shot in Almería, Spain: 'Westerns Have Decisively Influenced the Fate of Our Province'

01 Jun 2022  |  Maailman Kuvalehti  |  Finnish  |  Cultural Impact

The discovery of Almería by foreign Western film productions in the 1960s transformed one of Spain's poorest provinces into a significant film industry hub. The region's low production costs and skilled horsemen made it an ideal location for Westerns, leading to the construction of film sets and infrastructure development. Despite a decline in the genre's popularity in the late 1970s, Almería's film industry saw a resurgence with major productions in the 1980s. Western films have had a lasting cultural impact on the province, symbolizing values of pride, courage, and freedom.
