Avatar 2 it will be done and will have how main place of the shooting a scenario, without a shadow of a doubt, highly suggestive: the Fossa delle Marianne. James Cameron, in fact, he intends to turn the second chapter of the famous 3D at 11.000 meters down in the Pacific. The American director, apparently, commissioned a team of engineers Australians the construction of a submarine able to reach that depth. The project, of course, will be equipped with 3D cameras that will allow unprecedented filming in one of the places less known to man.
The Mariana Trench has had only one visit from man. It was 1960, when a submarine called Trieste managed, for only 20 minutes, to visit that seabed. L'crew era formed by the Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and taking almost 5 hours of "travel" they reached the lower part of the world. In the cold and darkness of the mysterious ocean trench, the two encounter the presence of different forms of life such as sole, shrimp and plaice. Proof that one can also live at that extraordinary depth.
Since then, however, no one has ever had the ability, passion and economic resources to return. James CameronFortunately, thanks to the success of the very first chapter of this film, it has all the necessary characteristics on its side. Moreover it is not the first time that this passion for water has emerged from his works. It would be enough to remember, for example, the eleven-time Oscar winner Titanic. Or, its more dated The Abyss visionary film with a very original plot. It was no coincidence that it was also offered to make his contribution to solve the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico.
Last month, Cameron, for his fifty-sixth birthday decided to treat yourself to a particular gift by deciding to rent the Russian submarine Mir-1 and descending more than 1500 meters into Lake Baikal in Siberia; the deepest freshwater lake in the world. The director then told Russian journalists who asked him why this "habit" that his the main intention was to draw attention to the problems of marine pollution and, precisely for this reason, the choice of the Mariana Trench also appears to have the same type of purpose.
Preparations for diving are expected during the year and some of the Australian scientists, hired for this masterful work, have issued some important discretions: "we are using a light but very resistant material composed of carbon and prepared with advanced technologies very different from that of Trieste, which was an excavated cannonball "- and again -" we believe we have solved most of the technological challenges to return to the Mariana Trench. The real trick is now to make these ships lighter, less expensive and more suitable for the type of business. "
This submarine, according to some rumors, would have a capacity of crew not exceeding two units. Just like its predecessor Trieste, but in reverse with a heating system much more performing, capable of making this expedition last much longer than the few minutes it managed to obtain almost fifty years ago.
The saga of Avatar has all the potential to continue to amaze for a long time. “Doing another Avatar, or maybe two, will not only be a good cinematic and commercial deal, but also good for the environment. I want to send out a message of protection to our land. Let's protect it and protect what we have, making - why not - our world more and more eco-sustainable "Word of James Cameron.
