What ultimately brought Oona Chaplin, 39, and James Cameron together was something very different from the glitz of premieres, red carpets, or the machinery surrounding a blockbuster like Avatar. Or perhaps not so different, considering the unmistakable environmental message of the highest-grossing film franchise in history. We talked for about 40 minutes about the earth, says the Spanish actress over a video call. I told him I was living in a treehouse and starting a permaculture project with a friend.

It's been 16 years since Avatar introduced audiences to Pandora's forest-dwelling Na'vi, three since we met their coastal brethren in Avatar: The Way Of Water. Now, it's time to meet the mountain Na'vi known as "ash people." Their tribe decimated by volcanic eruptions, a cataclysm their goddess Eywa did nothing to alleviate, the ash people are aggrieved, aggressive and, unlike the tribes in Pandora's low-lying regions, willing to embrace technology.

Almost immediately after the first movie hit theaters, there was a video game, plans for a book series that never came to fruition, and announcements for multiple big screen sequels. Despite this blitz, none of those spinoff projects ever really took off, and there is still some debate as to whether any of the Avatar features have had lasting cultural impact outside of (briefly) convincing Hollywood

"The films have very much become about family," he said. "But we've been doing it for 20 years now. And every time we're ready to make an 'Avatar' film, the whole 'Avatar' family gets back together."

Alongside the movie hitting theaters comes From the Ashes, an expansion for the game that tells a new story that incorporates major elements from the film, while also shaking up Frontiers' take on Pandora in some very big ways. Massive worked closely with Cameron's production company, Lightstorm Entertainment, to bring the stories of the movie and the game a little closer together.

If you thought 'Avatar: The Way of Water' was big and impactful, 'Fire and Ash' is going to be an experience unlike anything.

Miley Cyrus has released "Dream as One," a new song that she made for the new movie Avatar: Fire and Ash. Cyrus co-wrote and co-produced the track with Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson, and it has additional contributions from Jonathan Wilson, Simon Franglen, Brandon Bost, and others. Listen to "Dream as One (From Avatar: Fire and Ash)" below. Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third installment in director James Cameron's Avatar franchise.

Good morning, everyone. Have you seen that new Mario movie trailer? I hope it's good, unlike the last one. Anyway, welcome back to Morning Checkpoint, your daily round-up of news and other stuff you might care about. In this fine installment, we have info on the new Avatar sequel, rumors of legendary loot flooding Borderlands 4, a big patch for Outer Worlds 2, and some rare good news from the games industry.

Oona Chaplin's Varang is the leader of the Ash clan, who look like Cirque du Soleil performers who've been left too close to the barbecue. She's extremely angry and cynical because her entire extended family got flambeed by a volcanic eruption. But even more so because Eywa, the godlike neural network that can unleash planetary catastrophe at will, did absolutely nothing to help.

Jake Sully asks, "What if every human being could live here without a mask?" Immediately after, we see Spider walking on what is presumably Pandora without a mask. How is this possible? Soon after this shot, we see Spider with Kiri, and he uses what seems to be a queue or "kuri," the tendril the Na'vi use to form a connection with nature and each other, to link with a fish.
