There’s been a meme going around recently about the cyclical nature of history and the goofy coincidences that seem to line up around financial crises. If you weren’t fully cognizant in 2009, well, congratulations: You get to experience what we all did back then, but in an even scarier fashion. The Phillies are in the World Series (check), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is topping the sales charts (check), Joe Biden is in the White House (we’ll give this one a half-check, given that he was only Vice-President at the time) and, of course, America has Avatar fever once again. So, maybe you should consider prepping for whatever havoc the next few months might wreck on your financial future, but before you do that, you should watch the brand-new (and frankly gorgeous) trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, which debuted earlier on Wednesday morning on… Good Morning America. That’s one way to wake up the nation.
Peep it:
Here’s a brief synopsis. because Cameron wants to preserve “the mystery” long enough to get you to buy a ticket:
“Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.”
Avatar: The Way of Water hits theaters on December 14. It is pretty funny how well Disney gets their audience: Star Wars and whatever Marvel flicks are coming out get prime debuts during halftime on Monday Night Football, but Avatar 2 gets shuffled off to Good Morning America, because the people who will most likely have “Avatar-induced depression” or whatever are definitely watching that.
