Return to Pandora with the first teaser for Avatar: The Way of Water

“I know one thing. Wherever we go, this family is our fortress.”

James Cameron is finally bringing a sequel to 2009's Avatar to theaters with Avatar: The Way of Water.

If you ventured into the theater to watch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness this weekend, you probably got to see the first teaser for Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel to the 2009 science-fiction blockbuster Avatar. Director James Cameron has spent more than a decade making the first of a planned four sequels, a large fraction of which takes place in underwater environments.

(Spoilers for the 2009 film below.)

Cameron wrote a treatment for Avatar way back in 1994, and it was supposed to be the director's next big project after he wrapped his blockbuster Titanic. But Cameron realized the technology did not yet exist to make the film he envisioned. He spent several years working to develop what he needed, including a cutting-edge virtual camera system to direct the motion-capture scenes. (He compared it to "a big, powerful game engine.")

Apple's efforts to return its workers to the office are facing continuing resistance from an organized group of employees, and at least one prominent resignation has taken place over the issue.

The Verge reporter Zoë Schiffer tweeted on Saturday that Ian Goodfellow, a director of machine learning at Apple, will leave the company. He cited the return-to-office plan as a reason for his departure. "I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team," he said in a note to fellow staffers, according to Schiffer's tweet.

The current policy occasionally varies by team and role, but generally, Apple has already asked employees to visit the office for one or two days a week. On May 23, many of Apple's employees will be required to go to the office at least three days per week.

Lilbits: Motorola’s rollable phone, artsy tablets from Asus, and Sharp’s phone with a 1 inch image sensor

LG may have gone out of business before the company got a chance to launch the first phone with a rollable display, and Oppo’s rollable phone may be little more than a concept, but rumor has it that at least one other major phone maker does still plan to bring a rollable phone to market.

LG may have gone out of business before the company got a chance to launch the first phone with a rollable display, and Oppo’s rollable phone may be little more than a concept, but rumor has it that at least one other major phone maker does still plan to bring a rollable phone to market.

Motorola is said to be early in early stages of developing a phone with a display that unrolls to give you more space when you need it, and hides inside the body of the phone when you don’t. But unlike other rollables we’ve seen, that extra space isn’t horizontal and you don’t get a tablet-sized display. Instead, the phone rolls vertically, making the screen taller. It’s in keeping with the company’s approach to foldables.

If you’re still holding out hope for a horizontal roller though, Samsung and TCL have been showing off display technology that could make that possible… but neither company has committed to releasing a phone with a rollable display yet.

In other recent tech news from around the web, Google has released the first Android 13 beta for Android TV, Sharp has a new phone with a 1″ image sensor (but it’s only available in Japan), and Asus has partnered with artists Philip Colbert and Steven Harrington on some incredibly unusual looking Windows tablets.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
