Not one, but two AVATAR sequels may be set to shoot consecutively, this happening soon as Jimbo Cameron completes his novelized take on the world of Pandora. Cameron recently caught up with MTV and shed a little shine on his grand vision. Peep it…
“‘Avatar 2’… we’re still working on deals. We don’t start the movie until we get the deals worked out,” he said. “I’m making notes. I’m not sitting idle,” Cameron said. “But really, what I’m working on primarily is the novel.”
He continues:
“I never had a chance to get the novel done while we were making the movie, and I always intended to. I didn’t want to do a cheesy novelization, where some hack comes in and kind of makes s–t up. I wanted to do something that was a legitimate novel that was inside the characters’ heads and didn’t have the wrong culture stuff, the wrong language stuff, all that.”
Nice, nice. But what of the dual sequel talk?
“We’re actually talking about that. That’s not a decision yet,” he said. “That is something that makes a lot of sense, given the nature of these productions, because we can bank all the [motion] capture and then go back and do cameras over a period of time.”
And there ya have it. Question still remains, when the hell will part 2 finally go into production? I know he said after the novel is finished, but damn…give us a time frame, something.
