James Cameron plans to screw up a perfectly good meme...

We all know exactly how many times man has visited the deepest point in the ocean, and when, and for how long.

But that may not be the case for too much longer…

Into deadly deep: How James Cameron plans to film Avatar sequel

Moved MPSIMS --> Cafe Society.

No fair preempting such a beloved gag! But that’s exactly what I thought of too when I first heard about this.

It seems a bit silly to film that deep whens it’s going to be 95% CGI anyway, and whatever live action stuff they do will just be in a large water tank. I really don’t see the point of this other than as perhaps inspiration for the animators.

And more importantly, as a marketing gimmick.

Yeah, I can’t think of any practical purpose to go there to film for a sequel to Avatar. He should take a nice camera, of course, but if there’s actually something there worth incorporating into Avatar 2, it will be by sheer luck.
