Talking on The View, Falco mentioned she shot her scenes for The Way of Water more than four years ago, and, since no one ever talked about the film, assumed it flopped at the box office: “I saw the first one when it was out. The second Avatar I shot four years ago. I’ve been busy and doing stuff. Somebody mentioned Avatar and I thought, ‘Oh, I guess it came out and it didn’t do very well because I didn’t hear anything about it.’ It happens! Someone recently said, ‘Avatar is coming out,’ and I said, ‘Oh, it hasn’t come out yet?’”

      I don't remember that but it's funny. It's like Star Trek actors not really remembering specifics about the show because of course they filmed a ton of it and not always in order unlike fans who've watched it multiple times.

    Not that surprising lol. This thing was almost certainly shot like the Star Wars prequels, with nothing for her to have recorded in her memory.

    It's like if someone asked me something specific about 90,% of the clinical trials I've done data science work for... No fucking idea what the treatment is, what it's for, whether it got approved... But I know whether it maimed anybody...

    she's on The View to promote the film and claims she had no idea it hadn't already came out until someone randomly told her, presumably about 6 months ago?

    lol. k.
