Not everyone can afford a trip to Pandora. The successful universe created by James Cameron counts in its cast actors of the caliber of Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver either Michelle Yeohwho recently joined the blue family in Avatar: Fire and Ashin theaters in Spain from December 19.
However, one of Hollywood’s most prestigious actors was set to appear in Avatar. It was about Edward Nortoneternal candidate for the Oscars who, since Two sides of the truthhas built an unrivaled reputation whose talent is matched only by the difficulty of sharing a shoot with him. James Cameron He’s not an easy director either, so a collaboration between the two would have been more destructive than that of Colonel Miles. However, what ruined our opportunity to follow a pitched battle on Pandora was the role Cameron offered Norton.
A Marine, not a Na’vi
This phrase must have crossed Edward Norton’s mind when he finished reading the screenplay for Avatar: The Sense of Water. And he certainly couldn’t hide his disappointment when he learned what James Cameron had in store for him: a soldier in the flesh who, under the orders of Miles, intend to reduce Pandora to ashes.
Of course he wanted to be a Na’vi. Otherwise, why are you joining Avatar? Well, being a gigantic blue creature absolutely unrecognizable if you watch the dubbed film (Can we say we saw Kate Winslet star in The Sense of Water if we don’t go for the original version?). In short: Edward Norton didn’t want to listen to Pandora’s music and sit idly by, playing a common human being.
Therefore, Norton rejected the offer, even though his love for the first film was unbridled. Although Cameron tried to find him accommodation among the indigo tribe, both ultimately agreed that neither Norton’s status lent itself to last-minute arrangements, nor Avatar She deserved to be abused so an actor could get away with it.
The many fans of Edward Norton will therefore not be able to see the protagonist of American History In Avatar: Fire and Ashbut yes in The invitationremake of the Spanish film Sentimental, directed by Olivia Wild and starring Penélope Cruz.
