James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ scores wacky new Wes Anderson-inspired AI tribute trailer (video): Times Of Nation
Director Wes Anderson’s resume of wildly original and uniquely cinematic fare has spawned a fad of fan-made AI trailers.
These amateur works target the quirky filmmaker’s recognizable style as seen in movies like “Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou,” “Isle of Dogs,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and his new sci-fi flick, “Asteroid City.”
Fresh off of their “Star Wars: The Galactic Menagerie” parody video cleverly employing cutting-edge AI tools, the creative folks at the YouTube channel Curious Refuge have turned their attention to director James Cameron’s blockbuster film “Avatar,” and the results offer a sly lampoon of Anderson’s trademark visual trickery, brash color palette, singular wit and symmetrical camera framing.
This latest alt-history teaser presents a timeline in which Anderson helmed “The Peculiar Pandora Expedition: An Avatar Story,” a madcap sci-fi odyssey to that lush tropical moon packed with an eccentric ensemble cast of Anderson regulars like Bill Murray, Timothée Chalamet, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Angelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jason Schwartzman and Willem Dafoe.

This newest “Avatar” creation might be the most esoteric of the whole bunch. But the trend is getting a bit repetitious and long in the tooth, which could be precisely what these hyped digital art offerings are attempting to point out.
Cameron’s second “Avatar” film, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” splashes onto Disney+ and Max beginning on Wednesday (June 7).
