James Cameron was unable to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water because to his Covid-19 diagnosis.
According to Variety, Cameron is asymptomatic and in good health. He hasn’t brought a movie he directed to Hollywood’s backyard since 2009, when the ground-breaking Avatar made its bow. He will go on making virtual film promotion appearances.
Avatar: The Way of Water has received rapturous reception in early media screenings, rained on with superlatives like “phenomenal”, “breathtaking” and “epic”.
As per a synopsis, “The sequel takes place more than a decade after the events of its predecessor and tells the story of ‘the Sully family’ (Jake, Neytiri and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive and the tragedies they endure.”
The mega-budget epic is set to hit screens worldwide on December 16.
