New York, Dec 15 (TIWN) Filmmaker James Cameron has opened up on the highly anticipated follow-up to his 2009 blockbuster 'Avatar', which is set to hit cinemas in 2022, and said there is a lot of pressure on big-budget movies following the impact of the pandemic and streaming.

Cameron noted how the upcoming film which stars the likes of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Edie Falco and more - will allow him to bring together his "two greatest loves", including directing and "ocean exploration", reports femalefirst.co.uk.  He added: "It sounds kind of nuts, the process I mean, if 'Avatar' hadn't made so much damn money, we'd never do this - because it's kind of crazy... I do the ocean thing when I'm not making movies. So if I could combine my two greatest loves - one of which is ocean exploration; the other, feature filmmaking - why wouldn't I?"
