James Cameron ready for 'Avatar' sequels
By Adnan Tezer Oct 27, 2010, 19:09 GMT
James Cameron has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to return to the planet Pandora and direct two sequels to "Avatar."
According to Variety, those two films will be his next projects.
No plot details have been released yet.
Cameron will work on the scripts for the two films early next year. He is hoping to begin production in late 2011, but won't decide whether to shoot the films back-to-back until he has completed the scripts.
Cameron and Fox are hoping for a December 2014 release for "Avatar 2," and a December 2015 release for "Avatar 3."
Cameron is producing with his partner Jon Landau for Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment.
"Avatar," released by Fox last December, is the top-grossing film of all time. The 3D film grossed $760.4 million domestically and $2 billion overseas. The film's monumental success helped usher in the recent tidal wave of 3D feature production.
"Avatar" is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time.
Cameron wrote the original "Avatar" from an idea he developed for over a decade. He created state-of-the-art technology to make the 3D film, with the help of Peter Jackson's WETA Digital.
