In the James Cameron blockbuster ‘Avatar,’ 3-D cinematography is the real star. The bugs and crawling creatures seem to slither into the theater seats. The floating mountains of the planet Pandora hover gloriously overhead. And the Na’Vi, Pandora’s 10-foot-tall, blue-skinned natives, come convincingly to life.
Mike and I figured out a lot about the world, characters and story in the initial two weeks between creating ‘Avatar’ and pitching it to Nickelodeon.
We ended up realizing that’s not an economical way to create creatures, putting people in green leotards and figuring it out later. You can maybe do that if you’re making ‘Avatar,’ but we need to know what the creatures look like before we turn on the camera.
If you look at ‘Avatar,’ could you imagine if you did ‘Avatar’ for 50 million dollars? It would be ridiculous! You would almost be getting laughs from the audience, unless you got a real indie director to do something incredibly stylised.

If you get something like ‘Avatar,’ it opens up a lot of big blockbuster doors.

I see myself as an avatar of curiosity and doubt.
I want to be in ‘Avatar’. I want somebody to hire me to be Superman, a Chinese Superman or Spider-Man.

According to the people who dearly would love to throw him out of office, Barack Obama was elected to be ‘above politics.’ He wasn’t elected to be president, after all. He was elected as an avatar of American tolerance. His attempts to get himself reelected imply a certain, well, ingratitude.
The idea is to grow. There is a shelf life for every avatar and the nature of roles will change and one just has to keep doing different things.
I don’t have a real home. When I got ‘Avatar,’ I sold everything that I owned because I knew it was going to be a long journey. I’ve got two bags, and that was four years ago, and I’ve been working ever since, and I’ve still only got two bags – a bag of books and a bag of clothes. That’s about it.
With ‘Avatar,’ you’re beginning to see the need for less and less actors and less of an appreciation for live acting.

When you think about it, ‘Avatar’ is almost completely an animated movie.

‘Avatar’ is staggering. It’s seismic. Evolutionarily speaking, it is cladogenesis in a thunderclap.
Actors get to go to these amazing worlds. In ‘Terminator,’ I was a cyborg with feelings; in ‘Avatar,’ I lived for 15 months on a fantastical planet, and in ‘Clash of the Titans,’ I get to fight a scorpion the size of a dump truck. It’s a bizarre job, but you explore yourself.
It’s funny because when I got ‘Jarhead’ and ‘Avatar’ and all those movies, ‘Leprechaun’ still to this day airs on BET. I was thinking, ‘Will they just let it go? I finally have a body of work that can speak much better to what I can do than just Leprechaun.’
Handling the digital avatar of a piglet was challenging, the actors had their task cut out while imagining a live creature on sets. It took them some time to get into the groove, but the journey was worth it.

‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’ is a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned.
When Nickelodeon, in 2009, told us they wanted us to come back and do another series where we could do whatever we wanted, the first thought we had was: Let’s do a story about the next ‘Avatar.’ That was the first thought. The second thought was: Let’s make it a girl.
On ‘Avatar’, I learned that it’s worth taking some risks and doing some weird little things with characters or having an off-joke here and there, even if it’s only for 5 percent of the audience.

‘Avatar’ was gorgeous. There are good stories in there, but when used in other movies they’re similar to those violent video games. Characters using deadly weapons. The children follow these movies.

You don’t pay the same price for a Ferrari as you do for a Honda Accord. But for some reason, for movie tickets, you’re asked to pay the same price for ‘Avatar’ as you are for some $2 million movie, which is kind of a weird thing when you think about it.
I love being part of the ‘Avatar’ family.
We made too many expensive movies trying to offset the loss of the ‘LOTR’ income. There was a lot of pressure to re-create that franchise, which turned out to be unhealthy for us, because it’s such a once-in-a-lifetime success. It would be like trying to re-create ‘Avatar’ over and over again.
Aang is an Airbender, and he became the Avatar after the last one died. He has to realize his destiny as the Avatar by mastering all of the elements – earth, fire and air. For me, I feel like I’m mastering all the different styles or elements of MMA. It’s my destiny to become the Avatar of this game.
Whereas ‘Avatar’ and other movies get shocks out of their three-dimensionality, ‘Gatsby’ is going to be about inviting the audience into this larger-than-life drama, letting them almost be inside the room rather than looking at it through the window. I think it will really work.
I’ve written before that the president is our national avatar – a stand-in for what we believe we are, or want to be.
I’d love to do something else for Avatar after this.
