Perhaps the only thing Avatar fans have been clamouring for more than upcoming threequel Fire And Ash is the return of Payakan— er, we mean, a documentary deep-dive into the making of the Avatar movies, of course. And well whaddayaknow, after a few rumblings and whisperings online in recent days about just such a thing, today precisely that has been announced — praise Eywa! Fire And Water: Making The Avatar Filmsa two-part docuseries exploring the making of Cameron's existing (and upcoming) Pandoran adventures, is coming to Disney+ on 7 November — and you can check out the trailer below;

As a great (very bad) man once said, "If you can't get out of it, get into it!" And get into it Fire and Water will if this first look at the documentary is anything to go by. From close-ups on the mo-cap sessions, water tank filming, and cutting edge VFX work that brought Avatar: The Way Of Water to life, to a dizzying array of star talking heads (James Cameron! Jon Landau! Sigourney Weaver! Zoe Saldaña! Stephen Lang! Sam Worthington!), Fire And Water seems to have every facet of that fantastical world and the wizardry that brings it to life covered.

The official description of the mini-series reads as follows: "The two-part documentary from 20th Century Studios and Lightstorm Entertainment, which provides a fascinating glimpse into the making of the Oscar®-winning box office phenomenon Avatar: The Way Of Water and a first look at the upcoming Avatar: Fire And Ashfeatures exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, concept art, and interviews with cast and filmmakers. The filmmakers travelled from Manhattan Beach, San Pedro, Shasta Lake, and the Channel Islands to the Bahamas, Hawaii, and New Zealand, to follow the cast and below-the-line team as they work to hone and perfect the techniques of underwater performance capture technology and learn to free dive in a massive, state-of-the-art 680,000-gallon water tank."

We'll see whether Fire and Water: The Making Of The Avatar Films is a Na'vi-ctory for Disney+ or is destined to leave us feeling blue when the docuseries makes its splash-landing on 7 November. Until then, Sivako!
