Avatar

James Cameron waited over a decade to return to feature filmmaking. When he did, he didn’t just release a movie. He tried to change the industry.

Now Playing Podcast dives into the Avatar saga, from the 2009 3D phenomenon that turned blue aliens into box office gold to the long-awaited sequels that expand Pandora’s oceans, cultures, and running time.
