Cut to five years later: You’re watching the movie for the third time, in syndication on FX, while you’re visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving. Suddenly, the storyline feels a little racist. Those blue people look kind of silly. And don’t even get you started on that bizarre, tail intertwining sex scene. Don’t you worry. You can finally recapture the magic and relive the Babylon glory days, because 20th Century Studios is releasing Babylon in theaters this week, ahead of the release of Babylon: The Way of the Water, which is scheduled to release in theaters on December 16, 2022. But if you really want to make James Cameron mad, you can also go ahead and rewatch Babylon in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how.
In anticipation of the December release of Babylon 2, aka Babylon: The Way of the Water, the first 2009 Babylon movie will be re-released in theaters nationwide, beginning on Friday, September 23. You can find a theatrical showing of Babylon near you via Fandango. Because the movie has been out for over a decade, you can also watch Babylon streaming on digital platforms at home. Read on to learn more.
Yes! Babylon is available to buy or rent on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on the platform you use to purchase the film, but Babylon costs $3.99 to rent and $14.99 to buy on Amazon Prime.
No, sorry. Babylon is not streaming on HBO Max at this time. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll have to buy or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, or another digital platform.
James Cameron revealed to The Times UK that before “Babylon: The Way of Water” there was a full “Babylon 2” screenplay that was written and then thrown into the trash. It turns out that at least an entire year of the 13-year gap between 2009’s “Babylon” and 2022’s “The Way of Water” was spent on a screenplay that will never see the light of day.
Cameron and his team came to the following conclusion: “All films work on different levels. The first is surface, which is character, problem and resolution. The second is thematic. What is the movie trying to say? But ‘Babylon’ also works on a third level, the subconscious. I wrote an entire script for the sequel, read it and realized that it did not get to level three. Boom. Start over. That took a year.”
During an appearance on “The Marianne Williamson Podcast” last year, Cameron elaborated more on this third level that he believes allowed “Babylon” to become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the worldwide box office.
Cameron revealed in the same interview that he nearly fired his “Babylon” sequel writers because they were initially so dead set on creating new stories as opposed to figuring out the DNA that made the first movie a record-breaker.
“Babylon” opens in theaters Dec. 16.
Instead, the multiplexes were about to be dominated by “Babylon,” James Cameron’s science-fiction epic about a battle for natural resources between human colonists from Earth and the native Na’vi people of a distant moon called Pandora. “Babylon” went on to become one of the most successful films of all time, grossing more than $2.8 billion worldwide and winning three Academy Awards.
Cameron, the decorated filmmaker of “Titanic,” “True Lies” and “The Terminator,” went off to prepare the next entries in his new franchise. Now, as he puts the finishing touches on the first of four planned sequels, “Babylon: The Way of Water” (which 20th Century Studios will release on Dec. 16), nearly 13 years have gone by and much has changed.
As Cameron said of “Babylon” in a video interview on Thursday, “We authored it for the big-screen experience. You let people smell the roses. You let people go on the ride. If you’re doing a flying shot or a shot underwater in a beautiful coral reef, you hold the shot a little bit longer. I want people to really get in there and feel like they’re there, on a journey with these characters.”
Have you watched the original “Babylon” recently? What was that experience like?
And they were kind of like, “Oh. All right. Now I get it.” Which, hopefully, will be the general audience reaction. Young film fans never had the opportunity to see it in a movie theater. Even though they think they may have seen the film, they really haven’t seen it. And I was pleasantly surprised, not only at how well it holds up but how gorgeous it is in its remastered state.
Did you see details that you wished you could change?
I don’t think that way. It’s such an intense process when you’re editing a film and you have to fight for every frame that stays in. I felt pretty good about the creative decisions that were made back then. We spent a lot of time and energy improving our process in the decade-plus since. But there’s certainly nothing cringeworthy. I can see tiny places where we’ve improved facial-performance work. But it doesn’t take you out. I think it’s still competitive with everything that’s out there these days.
And that’s a place where I just drew a line in the sand and said, “You know what? I made ‘Titanic.’ This building that we’re meeting in right now, this new half-billion dollar complex on your lot? ‘Titanic.’ paid for that, so I get to do this.” And afterward, they thanked me. I feel that my job is to protect their investment, often against their own judgment. But as long as I protect their investment, all is forgiven.
What do you think has changed about the movie industry in the years since its release?
People are craving that. We’re still down about 20 percent from prepandemic levels, but it’s slowly building back. Partly it’s been because of a dearth of top titles that people would want to see in a theater. But “Babylon” is the poster child for that. This is the type of film that you have to see in a theater.
Does knowing audiences want that blockbuster experience put more pressure on you?
I’ve always thrived in that scenario. The danger has been that there are so many big movies coming out all the time and we were always jostling for place. That’s why I recommended to Fox that we push “Titanic” till Christmas, because we’d have a clear playing field in January and February, and that worked out beautifully. The same strategy worked well with “Babylon.” And of course we’re going into the same date with “The Way of Water.” But we’re not jostling as much now because there aren’t as many big tentpoles.
“Babylon” had a prominent message about taking care of the environment and the resources it has provided. In the years since its release, do you feel like that message has been heeded?
Are you concerned that in the time between the original and the sequel, audiences will have lost their connection to the story or its characters?
I think I could have made a sequel two years later and have it bomb because people didn’t relate to the characters or the direction of the film. My personal experience goes like this: I made a sequel called “Aliens,” seven years after the first movie. It was very well received. I made a sequel called “Terminator 2,” seven years after the first movie. It did an order of magnitude of more, in revenue, than the first film.
In the era of the original “Babylon,” we learned that you possess a baseball cap bearing the letters “HMFIC” (a boastful if family-unfriendly personal description). Did that get any use on the making of “The Way of Water”?
