In their first interview since the film’s release, Jaffa and Silver spoke with Variety about some of the biggest and boldest creative decisions they made with Cameron for what eventually became “The Way of Water,” including bringing back Sigourney Weaver as the Na’vi daughter of her deceased human character from “Avatar,” creating the profound emotional bond between one Na’vi and a tulkun, e.g. But it was going to take the room to wrangle all this amazing material into three movies that would each be individual yet follow the saga of all these different characters in these expanding worlds.” “We would go to ‘Avatar’ boot camp for a while - master’s degree in all things Pandora,” Jaffa tells Variety over a Zoom interview with Silver. So Cameron assembled a team of screenwriters to help: Jaffa and Silver, Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”) and Shane Salerno (“Savages”).
His initial vision was to expand the world of “Avatar” over three more movies. While the filmmaker has directed two of the best regarded sequels of all time - 1986’s “Aliens” and 1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” - he’d never crafted a multi-film cinematic saga from the ground up. But what Cameron proposed to Silver and Jaffa was much more than a for-hire gig.
