Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Co-writer Andrew Wight produced this after surviving a real 1988 cave flood in Nullarbor Plain — the opening scene recreates his actual accident.
This bombed in 2011 because audiences wanted Avatar 2, not Avatar: The Wet Episode — but it influenced the actual Avatar 2 water technology.
