Sam Worthington Talks 'Avatar: The Way of Water', Underwater Acting, and Sigourney Weaver

Ойын-сауық

In the 13 years between installments in the “Avatar” franchise, Sam Worthington got married and had three sons. Nearly everything, he says, revolves around them, even the decision to relocate from Australia to New York City, where stricter laws about paparazzi mean he can better protect his children’s privacy. “Avatar: The Way of Water” mirrors some of the shifts in Worthington’s own life. Jake Sully, the improbable savior of a group of extraterrestrials known as the Na’vi, has also settled down and had children. We catch up with Sam Worthington to discuss all things "Avatar".

    @@sheltondmello8031 i disagree. I rewatched the first one and I can see that he’s performance is nothing to rave about really in the first one but I think he did a damn fine job with the story they went with. But after seeing the second one for a second time yesterday, I really thought he was on point! His performance stood out in the last act the most to me. I really thought he was incredible though. Zoe Saldana is no slouch too and the kid who played Lo’ak was outstanding to say the least I thought. They are packed full of talent though

    I saw it and hoped to be better story wise is very poorly made. In terms of visuals cgi it's of course the highlight. I love the new human tech and fight escenes. But I expected they made it at least as good as the first one or try something more new.

It's not trying to pop out of the screen as a gimmick. Vibrancy loss in some parts is a fair criticism, but many people still enjoy 3D. 2D or 3D, I think it's worth either way.

    Sam Worthington is very underrated and hard to believe he was almost Dracula back when Dracula Untold was called Dracula Year Zero, yet that didn't happen. When Universal was doing The Mummy for The Dark Universe, they should've gone for him as Nick Morton instead of Tom Cruise for The Mummy because Sam Worthington wouldn't have made it into a trainwreck like that Circus Midget Tom Cruise did.
