James Cameron wanted to avoid the ‘Stranger Things effect’

James Cameron He will never miss an opportunity to take a quickie Another major franchiseAnd the Weird things The ticket has just been called. The blockbuster director says that one of the main motivations behind the back-to-back shooting of symbol picture 2-4 was to avoid”Weird things effect”, or when young actors seem too old to play children due to the natural aging process.

Or else you’ll get — and I love it Weird things –But you get Weird things Impact, as they are supposed to still be in high school [but] They look like they’re 27,” Cameron said Entertainment Weekly. “You know, I love the show. It’s okay, we’ll suspend disbelief. We love the characters. But you know.”

His main concern was Champion Jack – who plays Spider-Man – who over the course of shooting was “growing like a weed”. The hero stumbled upon the role when he was 12 years old, and a movie shoot wrapped up symbol picture sequel four years later at the age of 16.

Now, that whole “aging” concern seems moot when you’re using the technology that enables it Sigourney Weaver, 73 years old to play as a teenager water way, but sure. However, Cameron couldn’t stop Champion’s aging, and even all the time Avatar: Water RoadChanges between the subject of the ages 14 and 16 still get a peek at all those visual effects.

“In some scenes, I’m 14, and then in the next scene, I’m 16,” Champion said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. So I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, I look a little bit more plump. And then in another scene, I’m two inches tall with my abs. It’s a little weird sometimes.”

“They did some CGI stuff, but it’s not like they had the anti-aging serum from the movie,” adds Champion. “It’s just puberty, and we had to let it run its course.”

With water way Filmmakers quickly dominated the box office upon its release, and are already looking forward to a release Avatar 3which is nearing completion of principal photography.

“I was very shocked [Avatar 3]. It only takes an extreme left turn, which isn’t a bad thing. You think you know where it’s going, but then a wrecking ball comes along,” Champion says of the sequel. “So you’re just like, ‘Oh my God, I never thought this was going to happen.'” You also get to see more areas of Pandora, and you get to learn about More cultures. So I think it’s better than Avatar 2. Collectively, they will all get better.”
