Avatar director James Cameron’s wife “cried for four hours” after seeing the latest installment of the movie franchise. Avatar: Fire and Ash won’t be out until December, but a “selected few,” including the director’s wife Suzy Amis Cameron, have been granted private screenings. “The feedback has been [that] it’s definitely the most emotional and maybe the best of the three so far,” Cameron said. And his wife would probably agree, if her reported reaction is anything to go by. “She bawled for four hours,” he told Empire. “She kept trying to get her s*** back together so she could tell me specific reactions, and then she’d just tear up and start crying again. Finally, I’m like, ‘Honey, I’ve got to go to bed. Sorry, we’ll talk about it some other time.’” The new production marks the first time the franchise has released a film since 2022, when The Way of Water hit the screens.
