James Cameron Unveils Trailer for ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash,’ Introducing the Ash People

Posted on by

Avatar-Fire-and-Ash20th Century Studios has released the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in James Cameron’s sci-fi franchise. The film is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on December 19, 2025.

The trailer introduces a new Na’vi clan known as the Mangkwan—or Ash People—a tribe that resides among volcanic terrain and appears to possess the ability to control fire. The Ash People, led by a new character named Varang (played by Oona Chaplin), are portrayed as hostile toward the film’s central family and seem to align with returning antagonist Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang).

The story continues the saga of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) as they seek new allies in the face of rising threats. Returning characters include Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), Spider (Jack Champion), and members of the aquatic Metkayina clan introduced in Avatar: The Way of Water. The footage shows the Sully family joining forces with the Metkayina to confront the growing power of the Ash People.

According to Cameron, the film explores “more challenging emotional territory” and expands the scope of Pandora by highlighting internal conflicts between Na’vi clans. The trailer ends with Varang confronting Kiri, saying, “Your goddess has no dominion here,” marking a shift toward darker ideological themes in the series.

Avatar: Fire and Ash follows the box office success of The Way of Water, which earned over $2.3 billion globally. The Avatar franchise has collectively grossed more than $5.2 billion to date.

“Primitive War” Brings Soldiers, Dinosaurs, and Big Laughs to Comic-Con

Posted on by

Ballroom 20 was packed as director Luke Sparke hit the stage with Ryan Kwanten, Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler, and Jeremy Piven, joined by moderator Brandon Davis, to talk Primitive War, an independent Australian film that pits Vietnam War soldiers against dinosaurs. Seeing it on one of Comic-Con’s biggest stages was a rare sight for an indie.

Based on Ethan Pettus’ novel, the film follows Vulture Squad in 1968 as they’re sent to track down missing Green Berets. Instead, they find a remote valley crawling with prehistoric predators. It’s part war movie, part creature feature. “Primitive War” stomps into theaters in Australia and the U.S. on August 21.

Sparke, who also wrote and edited the film, said the story had to feel real before the dinosaurs showed up. The cast trained together and filmed in rough Australian locations to sell that grit. Kwanten admitted he picked a Southern accent before reading the script. Helfer got a laugh with a quick Battlestar Galactica reference, and Piven praised Sparke’s go-it-alone style, joking, “this movie costs $11, and it’s all his imagination.”

Fans got a look at new footage showing tense recon missions, chaotic firefights, and plenty of dinosaur chaos. It ended with the line: “This ain’t no walk in the park,” which got a knowing laugh from the crowd.

With millions of trailer views already, Primitive War is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about dino movie.

Holiday Odd-Couple Romance Takes the Spotlight in The Baltimorons

Posted on by

the baltimoronsJay Duplass returns to feature directing with The Baltimorons, a quirky romantic comedy that won the Audience Award at this year’s SXSW. Co-written with lead actor Michael Strassner, the film unfolds over Christmas Eve in Baltimore, where a newly sober man’s dental emergency sparks an unexpected connection with his older dentist.

Strassner stars as Cliff, an improv comedian trying to stay on track, while Liz Larsen plays Didi, a lonely dentist with problems of her own. As the two navigate their emotional baggage and the city’s cold streets, their night evolves into something tender, funny, and oddly cathartic. Olivia Luccardi co-stars as Cliff’s girlfriend.

Critics have likened the film to Before Sunrise with a dash of Harold and Maude. Ehrlich of IndieWire called it “a Christmas classic in the making.”

The Baltimorons opens in New York on September 5, with more cities to follow on September 12 via Independent Film Company.
