In 1989 a Mr James Cameron directed the Abyss. It stared Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Michael Biegn and Leo Burmester in an underwater adventure.
It wasn’t Alien, as it was a kinder, less scary movie but it did feature aliens and invoke that feeling of deep space. As it happens The Abyss was set deep underwater on Earth.
The Titanic director has suggested that this is the direction that Avatar 2 will go.
The LA Times has this quote;
We created a broad canvas for the environment of film. That’s not just on Pandora, but throughout the Alpha Centauri AB system. And we expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story—not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film. I’ve already announced this, so I might as well say it: Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment—a different setting within Pandora. And I’m going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won’t be a rain forest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well.
I’m not sure I’m ready for scary 3D alien sharks but I’ll give them a chance.
