Kiri: Dad I know you think I'm crazy. But I feel her. I hear her heart beat. She's so close
Jake Sully: So what does her heartbeat sound like?
Kiri: Mighty.
- James Cameron seriously considered shooting the entirety of the Avatar sequels in a higher frame rate by stating, "The 3D shows you a window into reality; the higher frame rate takes the glass out of the window". The industry standard is 24fps, and higher frame rates are at least 48fps, 60fps, or 120fps. He later opted out of this route, stating in an interview that as groundbreaking as the format is for cinema, moviegoers have always been used to a specific way to view films and altering that in any way would simply take the audience out of that experience. Instead, only certain scenes will utilize HFR technology.
- This movie is set to be released 13 years after the original Avatar (2009).
- The Avatar sequels will cost a collective over $1 billion.
- The film's producer Jon Landau revealed that Kate Winslet left production astounded when she managed to nearly hold her breath underwater for seven minutes. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Landau said: "Kate broke a free-diving record among the cast. It was six minutes 50-something -- but for Kate we agreed to call it seven. "She was phenomenal." Bailey Bass, who plays Winslet's daughter Tsireya in the film, added: "Kate holds the record she set it during training. I managed six minutes and 30 seconds."
- When the movie finally releases in, supposedly, 2022 there will have been a 13 year gap between the first and second films. Giving it one of the longest development times as it was announced almost immediately following the first film's success.
