Edie Falco's Comments About Avatar: The Way Of Water Led To "A Lot Of Flack"

As a fan who has followed Edie Falco’s illustrious career for years, it’s always fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes perspective of her roles. In the case of Avatar: The Way of Water, her candid admission about not being up-to-date with the film’s progress is both endearing and amusing. It’s a testament to Falco’s dedication to her craft and her unique approach to her work – once she’s done with a project, she moves on without a second thought.

In 2022, before the premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water, Edie Falco drew attention when she expressed surprise that the movie hadn’t been released and appeared to have failed, as she hadn’t heard anything about it. She explained that she had shot her scenes four years earlier and had been occupied with other projects since, so she wasn’t aware of the film’s progress. Now, Falco admits that her remarks garnered some criticism.

On The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM with Julia Cunningham, Falco shared that she learned directly from James Cameron’s associates that he was displeased. She mentioned, “I received the information firsthand from someone who was present when he found out about my statement, that it didn’t sit well with him.” Later, she admitted to receiving criticism for her comments. (paraphrased based on Entertainment Weekly’s report)

She simply clarified, “What I meant was that I can be quite self-deprecating. I often find myself uncertain about the state of my life.” She also mentioned receiving numerous significant calls on her phone.

In “The Way of Water,” Falco portrayed General Ardmor, a character who issued orders to eliminate Sam Worthington’s primary character, Jake Sully. After wrapping up her scenes, Falco admitted that she didn’t follow up on the film as it progressed, stating this was simply how she approaches her work.

As a game creator, I bring each project to life, put my heart into every detail, bid farewell to everyone involved, and then it’s time for me to move on. The next challenge awaits, and as for what becomes of the games post-completion, I can only wonder.

Falco further clarified that when she initially commented on The Way of Water, it wasn’t intended as criticism or to predict its box office performance. Rather, she admitted her lack of knowledge by saying, “I am a dolt,” with a chuckle.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, it’s hard not to be amazed by the incredible success of Avatar: The Way of Water. This cinematic masterpiece has truly made waves, raking in an astounding $2.3 billion at box offices worldwide. It’s now sitting comfortably among the top three highest-grossing films ever made!

As the gaming world eagerly awaits the upcoming sequel, I, a devoted gamer, can hardly contain my excitement as I recall Lorraine Bracco, famously recognized for her iconic roles on The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie, is poised to make a triumphant return in 2026’s Avatar: Fire and Ash.
