It is surprising that despite having some terrible experiences during the filming of The Abyss, James Cameron decided to direct Avatar 2 years later.
James Cameron's The Abyss is a sci-fi epic but presented many production challenges that could have prevented the director from creating Avatar 2. Set in 1994, The Abyss unfolds as an underwater adventure where a crew of divers encounters a dangerous alien species. While receiving optimistic reviews from viewers and critics, Cameron's The Abyss earned a decent box office return of $90 million against a budget of $47 million.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Considering how James Cameron conceived the foundational idea for the film when he was 17 and came up with a full-fledged script over the years using concepts and filming lessons from shooting films like Aliens, The Abyss' critical and commercial success was not surprising. Following the completion of The Abyss' script, even its filming process was no less fascinating and awe-inspiring.
It is also believed that James Cameron pushed so many boundaries during The Abyss' filming that it affected his marriage with producer Gale Anne Hurd and led to their divorce when the film was in pre-production. Looking back at his experience, James Cameron even quoted , "I knew this was going to be a hard shoot, but even I had no idea just how hard. I don't ever want to go through this again.
Why Cameron Is Still Obsessed With Water From his feature directorial debut Piranha II: The Spawning to his blockbuster record-shattering sequel Avatar 2, nearly every James Cameron movie has an element of wetness. By making a solo voyage to the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench in a submarine in 2012, the director further nailed down how much he admires the oceans.
By creating movies like Avatar 2 that portray the beauty of the vast deep blue waters, he hopes to "make people feel connected to the ocean," and maybe even "make them think a little bit." He wants his movies to inspire change and coerce audiences to protect and preserve "this wonderful, beautiful, amazing thing that we have right here on planet Earth.
