Avatar has become kind of a whole thing since its 2009 release, hasn’t it? James Cameron’s sci-fi epic has spawned countless references, memes, and spoofs, but when’s the last time you actually watched the movie? This week, as Avatar is rereleased in theaters ahead of the December release of Avatar 2: The Way of Water, Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawsoncaught a screening of the classic. He was awestruck when he first saw the movie as a new release—find out if it holds up for him, all these years later.
Elsewhere in HWD, Billy Eichner is flipping expectations on their heads with his upcoming feature Bros, telling VF, “I just had no interest in doing something that sanded off the edges or something that was working over time to be super palatable to straight people.” The character Mon Mothma, a rebel leader, has been part of the Star Wars canon for decades, but only now are we finally learning more about her history and backstory, thanks to Andor’s Tony Gilroy. The Woman Kingstar Thuso Mbedu reveals what went into her turn in the movie, from hours and hours of martial arts training to what working with Viola Davis is really like. And for your Hollywood history moment of the day, take an early look at Nancy Olson Livingston’s new memoir with an excerpt about how My Fair Lady got made.
