James Cameron Spills Schedule for 'Avatar' Sequels
James Cameron's 'Avatar' sequels may hit theaters by Christmas of 2014 and 2015, the director tells
Entertainment Weekly.
"I am in the process of writing the next two 'Avatar' films now," Cameron says. "We are planning to shoot them together and post them together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart. Christmas '14 and '15 is the current plan."
EW notes the release dates should be treated as strictly tentative, referencing the initial film's pushed-back release date.
More on the sequels after the jump.
Cameron says the trilogy will continue with characters from the first 'Avatar.' "Basically, if you survived the first film, you get to be in the second film, at least in some form."
More good news is that a percentage of the 'Avatar' sequels' profits will benefit the environment. "Fox has partnered with me to donate a chunk of the profits to environmental causes that are at the heart of the Avatar world," Cameron says. "I didn't want to make more 'Avatar' movies without a grander plan in place."
'Avatar' star Sam Worthington
hyped the sequels to Moviefone recently, speculating on the plot: "I always joked and said that they were married, and Jake Sully got lazy, and Neytiri kicked his butt," Worthington said. "But there is something to [the notion of being] in a genetically-engineered body now, which he is. Is there a 'use by' date on it? I don't know. What's the new dilemma? Is it just humans coming back, or is something even bigger than can threaten them, threaten the world?"
Last summer, PopEater's Jo Piazza visited the Amazon and found its inhabitants were head-over-heels for Cameron's flick. Read the report.

Second most overrated film of all time, with Titanic being the first.

He stole the story for the first Avatar movie from Fern Gully. I wonder where he is going to steal 2 and 3 from. Maybe the Little Mermaid or Snow White?

He stole the story from Fern Gully and Dances With Wolves...film is highly over-rated and gave me nothing but a headache and a little lighter in the wallet...there is a Youtube video where the poster put the DWW trailer with the Avatar sound...funny but it matches almost perfectly... not going to bother with the Avatar sequels...
I really don't get the Avatar craze. The 3D was great. But the story was nothing more that what the white man did to the Indians.
