SEOUL, November 10 (AJP) - The third installment of director James Cameron's epic "Avatar" series will have its world premiere in South Korea in mid-December, just in time for Christmas, the film’s distributor Walt Disney Company said on Monday.
Expectations for the upcoming franchise Fire and Ash are already high ahead of its release slated for Dec. 17, as it is set to depart from the previous serene setting of its fictional planet Pandora to explore a fiery, ash-covered world, encountering new tribes along the way.
The sci-fi fantasy film captivated audiences with its cutting-edge 3D technology, attracting a record 13.22 million viewers when its first installment was released in 2009 and remaining the highest-grossing film worldwide for 16 years. Its 2022 sequel, The Way of Water, also drew a record 10.8 million viewers here.
Returning cast members include Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Kate Winslet, with newcomers such as Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis joining the lineup.
