James Cameron gives quick 'Avatar 2' update
Franck Tabouring
James Cameron's "Avatar" is still making tons of money at the box office, but the director is already thinking about the sequel. Cameron already confirmed the follow-up recently, and now he's got news.
Don't expect anything big though, because "Avatar 2" is nowhere near any form of pre-production. Talking to E!, Cameron said continuing the story of Pandora was always part of the plan at 20th Century Fox.
"We're going to spend a lot of money building this world and all these digital characters and digital plants and trees and mountains and so on, and then once we've got it, we've got it," he said.
He also said, "It's not like it's a practical set that when you build it, you have to tear it down and you're left with a big pile of lumber out behind the studio. We have all that stuff so we can go again."
He added, "We just have to come up with a great story, which we haven't done yet. I have a rough story, but you need to make a script, so that might take some time. Don't start going to buy your tickets."
Of course, this means we could be waiting quite a while for a sequel. And hey, that's fine. "Avatar" has been dominating the world of film for months now, and I really need a break from the blue guys...
