James Cameron Reveals Next ‘Avatar’ Movie Will Focus On Vast Menagerie Of Sodas Available On Pandora

LOS ANGELES—Calling the project a crucial piece of world-building for an iconic sci-fi saga, filmmaker James Cameron revealed Thursday that the next movie in his blockbuster Avatar franchise would focus on the vast menagerie of sodas available in the fictional world of Pandora. “We’re really going to show how the soda selection on Pandora is as varied and interconnected as its delicate ecosystem,” the 71-year-old filmmaker told reporters, remarking that he was particularly excited to show viewers how the Na’vi connected their neural queue to intricate beverage dispensers and established a neurological link that enabled them to choose from one of over 10 million varieties of fizzy drinks. “From the fruit-flavored Yovo Blaster to Spineberry Cola to more exotic varieties like Teylu Spritzers—which are made with real Teylu beetle larvae—the sodas the Na’vi drink are a deep expression of their respect for all the amazing flavors of their world. The film is really going to be a deep meditation on what it means to find balance and harmony among so many amazing choices of soft drink.” Cameron added that despite the expansive options available to them, most Na’vi still chose to drink Diet Coke most of the time.
