“I can tell you one thing about them,” Cameron laughs when Empire nonchalantly enquiries about storylines. “They’re gonna be bitchin’. You will shit yourself with your mouth wide open.”
…says Cameron in THIS piece at Empire.
The article goes on to reveal…
Despite early rumours of a move to 60 frames per second, 48 is Cameron’s choice of frame rate for the sequels. “My thinking at the time was that 60 [FPS] might be a better segue to the video market,” he says. “I’ll be plugging into a system that’s a little more mature, so it makes sense for me to do 48 frames at this point.”
“You will shit yourself with your mouth wide open.” Given Cameron’s deep-rooted concern with (and devotion to) maximizing the theater going experience, such reactions to these AVATAR follow-ups may prove somewhat unnerving, distracting, or counterproductive. I’m also concerned that feces covered theater seats and gaping mouths may well pose a number of health hazards - not the least of which would be air quality, and the choking dangers of un-chewed food.
Leave it to Jim to push the frontiers of film viewing adventure. I’ll be there with gas masks prepped and Depends donned.
