picture is actually screening simultaneously in two cinemas in Leicester Square tonight, such was the anticipation for the follow-up to the world’s highest grossing movie ever.
From the stage inside the Odeon West End, Cameron said: “Thanks for coming. I don’t know about you, this is a pretty surreal moment for me that we are done with the film. Five years of production and five years spanning a really dark period. The pandemic hit, we were shut down completely. I was despairing this art form I love that I dedicated four decades to was over. We finally got back to work but we didn’t know if there would be movie theaters. Was it over? But here we are.
“Theaters are full again and moviegoers of the world have declared resoundingly that we need this. We need this ability to gather together to sit in these great dark spaces and to dream together with our eyes wide open in a cinema. To me tonight is not about a newfilm. It’s about cinema, and here you are in your black-tie finery. It’s a celebration of this art form that we love so much. It’s back it’s alive and it’s as great as it’s ever been.
While Cameron and Landau were speaking in that smaller venue, attendees around the corner at the Odeon Leicester Square were treated to music by a live orchestra. Cameron and Landau then hoofed it back to the main cinema and took to the stage with cast in tow ahead of the screening.
