‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Producer Hits Back at Ryan Gosling’s Year-Old SNL Spoof

The 2009 James Cameron-directed movie Avatar was one of the biggest movie
projects of all time. Taking science fiction animations to a whole another
level, the flick brought to us a cinema experience unlike any other in its time.
The fact that Cameron perfected the movie for thirteen years is evident in the
unexplainable beauty of the people of Na’vi and the cinematic brilliance of
Pandora. Avatar in 2009 had a huge impact on everyone, from moviegoers to movie
makers, given how it set the standards of what a good cinematic experience is,
way too high.

We can all sit and chat about the meaningful storytelling and intriguing
characters of the flick. But if you were to just start ranting about the font
that the masterpiece of a movie chose, you would be quick to be deemed crazy.
However, thanks to a pre-taped SNL sketch starring Academy award-winning actor
Ryan Gosling, fans took notice of how the Oscar-winning movie just used a font
as ordinary as the ‘Papyrus’ for its title.


RYAN GOSLING’S AVATAR SPOOF REACHED AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER HEADQUARTERS

In 2017, SNL dropped a skit that followed a man inching closer to insanity as no
one around him shared the same sentiments as he does regarding the choice of the
title font in the 2009 Avatar movie. From flipping the table at his therapy
session to stalking the graphic designer, Gosling fails to wrap his mind around
the fact that the designer was “thoughtless” enough to choose the Papyrus font
for a blockbuster International movie.



Now, if we were James Cameron and spent thirteen years of our life on a movie
that was one step ahead of technology in terms of being advanced, and someone
randomly chose the Papyrus font anyone can find on their computers for the
title, we would be pissed.

But Cameron has no qualms whatsoever; in fact, he was a fan of the font. The
Titanic director even took a jibe at Gosling

and his obsession with the font. However, with the upcoming sequel, the Avatar:
The Way of Water crew cleared the air on the Papyrus font.

Producer Jon Landau told ET [https://www.etonline.com/movies/avatar] that the
new movie has created a font for itself called ‘Toruk’. And while this wasn’t
because of the SNL skit, the producer said that the skit pointed out how
impactful the movie had been. It’s always the little things.

Avatar: The Way of Water is heading to the theaters on the 16th of December. And
luckily for us, the title font is not Papyrus.

Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
