It’s no secret in Hollywood when you create a cash cow, the inevitable sequel talk is not far behind. James Cameron sat down and talked about Avatar 2, and he had in mind a sequel even while filming Avatar.
Movies Online gives us the rundown:
“I’ve had a storyline in mind from the start — there are even scenes in Avatar that I kept in because they lead to the sequel,” Cameron says. “It just makes sense to think of it as a two or three film arc, in terms of the business plan.
The CG plants and trees and creatures and the musculo-skeletal rigging of the main characters — that all takes an enormous amount of time to create. It’d be a waste not to use it again.” Sam Worthington is already signed to play Jake Sully again, and he e-mailed EW some plot suggestions for the sequel: “Jake should have abused his avatar and be fat and unfit and demand Neyteri to get him a beer.”
I am still waiting for the Titanic sequel.
