James Cameron Confirms Avatar Sequel

Considering the fact that “Avatar” is a printing press for money and is now the most successful Sci-Fi movie in history, a sequel is likely a good bet. But James Cameron is a man that marches to his own beat so you can never be really, really sure…until he confirms it himself  and he did last night at the Arclight theatre in L.A. in yet another screening for “Avatar”. There was a Q&A after the film with James and a couple of effects guys. James Cameron officially gives us notice with the quote:

Yes, there’ll be another.

The next movie will be much easier to make of course. There won’t be a need to invent new tech and all the amazing art assets for the visuals will be already on someones hard drive. Maybe with the extra time they’ll have they can come up with a slightly better story to go with all the industrial light and magic. Thanks AintItCool for the word.

    There’s nothing wrong with the story. I’d like to see you write (a better) one.

    I thought the story was one of the better parts of the movie.

    Good news. I hope the Avator sequel focuses on one of the other moons, as Cameron hinted before. I’d love to see a completely new alien world with new inhabitants and creatures. Although, since the designs for Pandora are already done, most of the action will probably still take place there.

    Can you please stop pushing such strong personal slants into every article on this site? I mean this is just a small one here but it is getting absurd. Some of these articles are painful to read do to the unprofessional behavior of the writers on here. Less like the fox news of scifi please.

    You’d have to be 5 years old to think there was “nothing wrong” with the story. It was dreadful, simplistic, and mind-numbingly childish. And I liked the movie. Hah!

    And I loved the movie!

    Said by Nix: “It was dreadful, simplistic, and mind-numbingly childish.”

    The story is clever in delivering its dreadful message, so much so that nearly every viewer perceives the story at the level of Disney’s Pocahontas. It is not about an evil corporation uprooting natives to steal a valuable rock. It is a parable pitting our unsustainable civilization against a sustainable one. Lookup the engineering definition of unobtainium. Think about the image of life on Earth created by the movie. What did Mo’at mean when she mused whether Jake could be cured of his insanity? Cameron is ridiculing the notion of a technological fix for the disaster being created by Western civilization, industrial civilization and capitalism with full knowledge that the majority of the human population does not have the emotional maturity to deal with the problems of resource constraints and overpopulation. He is implanting the underlying concepts in the world population without the skeptics, denialists and incurable optimists realizing it. Brilliant….

      Well, someone’s graduated from the school of pretentious bullshit.

        So you are unwilling to defend your opinion with a reasoned argument.

        Resembling “Dances with Wolves,” “Avatar” is well beyond the childish script of “Star Wars.”

          You don’t reason with delusional people, my friend, you point and laugh at him.

            Your insults and laughter form a lullaby to soothe yourself into believing that you know how to defend your opinion. Neytiri said it well: “You’re like a baby making noise, don’t know what to do.”
