James Cameron Will Film Three “Avatar” Sequels At the Same Time

Showbiz 411

Sigourney Weaver confirmed tonight that James Cameron is shooting “Avatar” 2, 3, and 4 all at the same time, all with her, and starting this fall. But first…

Are you ready for the Clintons as a political soap opera? Sigourney Weaver is playing it pretty close to Hillary and Ciaran Hinds is a damn good Bill Clinton in USA Network’s “Political Animals.” The studio threw a fine all star premiere in New York last night at the Morgan Library, showing off Greg Berlanti’s new dramedy. Frankly, like most of the USA Networks shows, this could play on NBC in prime time. A real movie star, Sigourney Weaver, plays Elaine Barrish, ex First Lady of a philandering Democratic president who becomes Secretary of State. (Avatar 2, Avatar 3, Avatar 4, Cinema, Political Animals, Sigourney Weaver)

if he's really doing 3 sequels at once, then I'm all for the wait we've endured so far. I'm just hoping that he doesn't release Avatar 2, then make us all wait 2 years before the 3rd and so on and so forth - I'd like to see Avatar 2 hit and then 6-8 months later the next one.
DarkBlood  +   329d ago
well what about the blu-ray release? 6 to 8 months is too short gotta get the sales first lol :P
Crazay  +   329d ago
What better way to ensure you sell more DVD/Bluray than to have it launch within weeks of the release of a new movie?
-Superman-  +   329d ago
I wish he could save Terminator :S
Anyway...
Making 3 movies at same time cost so much less.

Avatar - 500 million
Avatar 2,3 and 3 could be done about 600 million and its much eaiser. They just film more footages and make it longer.
Look at Lord of The Rings.

"I'm just hoping that he doesn't release Avatar 2"

Why did you have to say anything else?
Crazay  +   329d ago
because I really liked the movie. I thought it was alot of fun to watch and I'm looking forward to the new ones. How is that wrong?

there's no way that's gonna happen. These movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars, there will be no rush to release them so close to each other.

First of all, filming at the same time doesn't mean they'll be completely produced together, editing takes the most work specially with CGI in movies like this. Pirates of the Carribean sequels were filmed together i think, but the editing and everything still took 2 years to release the sequels.

Plus they don't want the hype to die down by releasing so fast.

Dear James Cameron ... please don't do this.
Crazay  +   329d ago
Why?
SHA  +   329d ago
He needs to go back and save the Terminator franchise instead of continuing this universe. Wouldn't you rather have this happen instead? Yes...yes you would. HA.
Blacktric  +   329d ago
"Why?"

Pff... Because having one crappy sci-fi movie that has no story and substance was enough. Three more sequels will only make it worse.

Don't worry
*puts on sunglasses*

he'll be back.

darklordzor  +   329d ago
Yeah why? Sounds like a great idea to keep the continuity going and make for an epic series of films.
Crazay  +   329d ago
Actually, I would love to see him jump back into Terminator but I'd rather see him do these movies first. I haven;t had the level of disdain that some have for the Terminator series. I liked Salvation and thought the way Terminator 3 ended was awesome in an eerie sort of way.
BlackTar187  +   329d ago
seriously avatar was such overrated tripe. Movie was decent but it was so unorginal except they were blue that it blew my mind.

I know people love it but really its the same story told 10x with blue people and good S/FX

BlackTar, you have a very good argument. You've made really good comparisons to other movies with the exact same plot as avatar. All those movies that you just listed have the exact same plot as Avatar and really made me look at the movie in a whole new way.

I don't at all think that you're just a hipster that's hating on Avatar to be cool.

Anyway i gotta go. I'm gonna go watch Jason Statham hang from a helicopter.

No I share BlackTar's stance. Avatar is the best movie I've ever seen, but it's one of the worst films I've ever seen. In other words, great visuals, but terrible story and cliche characters.

Seriously, the hard-a** military man who will stop at nothing to take out the Navi, the weaselly corporate guy trying to get Unobtainium (seriously...Unobtainium?), the good doctor who's edgy and smokes (Ha! Funny because she's a doctor!), the nerd that knows the Navi culture, and the soldier with a change of heart. If I'd never heard of Avatar I'd swear that was describing a straight-to-DVD movie.
BlackTar187  +   328d ago
Axe,

Maybe i should google it for you?

So i did
Pocahontas,Dances with Wolves and especially Fern Gully:The Last Rainforest. (almost identical)

Dear James Cameron, Ignore that guys BS!
mamotte  +   329d ago
He'll "film" three sequels.

Then will be adding FX for all eternity. Or at least, by seven years. One by one.
-MD-  +   329d ago
3 more Avatar films back to back? Gross.
Kaneda  +   329d ago
I thought he killed her in the first movie.. why is she coming back 2,3 and 4... lame..
archemides518  +   329d ago
good point lol
Lord_Sloth  +   329d ago
Because in a planet full of magic, we must abide by reality.
Kingdom Come  +   328d ago
She had her mind transferred into an Avatar's body at the end of the film.
Kaneda  +   327d ago
The main character is.. not her.. she's dead...
wenaldy  +   329d ago
Sequel of Prometheus please lol..
shackdaddy  +   329d ago
You mean Alien?
AO1JMM  +   329d ago
You mean Aliens? James Did Aliens not Alien.

But a Prometheus 2 would be great as well.

On topic: I enjoyed Avatar and look forward to part 2,3,4.
Kingdom Come  +   328d ago
No, let's forget Prometheus, that was a horrible, generic mess of a film saved only by decent visuals and fantastic acting by Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace.

Prometheus - overhyped and utter rubbish!!
the way charlize acted they could've easily used kristen stewart and nobody would've known the difference.

the story was lame. almost felt like 90% of the movie was eye candy with the visual effects and 10% story and character development.

apart from the c-section bit, the rest of the movie was like "Why the hell am i still sitting here?"
Pain70  +   329d ago
Im buying stock in Red Bull and NoDoz. Maybe even Serta. Someone is going to need a nap when this is all over with. Just stay focused James. No falling asleep at the wheel and causing a total wreck.
archemides518  +   329d ago
that is a lot of sequels
Soldierone  +   329d ago
If its like pirates 2 I might lose interest. I'm already "meh" about Avatar, if I go pay 12 bucks for a film and have it end with "you have to come pay another 12 bucks for the next part of the story!" then I'll reply "or i can spend 3 dollars at Redbox and see something else!"
aviator189  +   329d ago
Please, Cameron. Do one more Terminator film, for us. :(
Or you could do a Prometheus sequel. Just one for the good old days.
GuyManDude  +   329d ago
I will fight the urge to be rude and simply say that James Cameron has nothing to do with Prometheus.
MRHARDON  +   329d ago
James Cameron is going to be the Activison of the film industry.
Kaneda  +   329d ago
Not True.. T2 was way better than T1.. not the same...
StarWarsFan  +   329d ago
It's like a Star Wars franchise for a new generation. Maybe we'll get a set of four prequel films after.
KrimsonKody  +   329d ago
"...three Avatar sequels..."
I got nausous right there.

Who the HELL?! Wants a quarter dozen Avatar movies?
I mean, the 1st movie worked for it's time, it was pretty & stuff, but come on, what can possibly happen next? Nothing that many would be dire to see.
Unless something happens, like da avatar world mixes in with the real world & war & crap happens, I just don't see much interest.

& the story?
Like, omg
All Avatar is to me is an modern Fern Gully (you know? The last rainforest?) movie.

If Cameron wants to get people excited, he should've mention Terminator sequels!

Oow! Just had a weird, wild thought;
Terminator Vs. Transformers!

I may be one the the few that didn't care for avatar. I thought is was ok wouldn't see it more then twice. If only he could go back to the terminator series or even make a sequel to true lies or another aliens film then 3 avatar sequels.
alb1899  +   329d ago
I liked Avatar and i was very impress by the world that they create and i'm more than sure that all of you will go to see this movies.
aDDicteD  +   329d ago
same here, i like the first one and i hope this talked about multiple sequels wont ruin the franchise
aDDicteD  +   329d ago
what the?! for sure the sequel is going to be great and maybe the 3rd also but going and talking about the 4th already? and "will shoot at the same time" ? dont know if it'll work, looks like they are going to get their hand's full or maybe it'll be a to be continued movies or maybe one of those will be a prequel. what ever it is it'll be hard to pull-up and i hope it wont be sequels that will be released year after year after year, it'll suck if it happens :(
tehnoob3  +   329d ago
I cannot believe that people actually want to see sequels of this terrible movie! It was unoriginal with some pretty graphics and 3D. I was never engaged due to the predictability of the movie.
Horny Melon  +   329d ago
Ugghhh I've had enough of Dance with wolves meets fern gully meets smurfs.

To all those who were saying it's unoriginal, almost nothing is original nowadays anyway. The important thing was how it was executed and it was brilliant.
angels3785  +   329d ago
I agree the execution was good, but it was also bad. The characters were one dimensional, the story was basically a space Pocahontas. and it was overrated for what it was...I think many just got caught up in the astounding CG and visuals. It was a great movie don't get me wrong, but originality is subjective......things with the same setting or basic plot like war can be done differently....like The hurt locker vs jarhead.
No_Pantaloons  +   329d ago
Cash Grab Confirmed.
angels3785  +   329d ago
I actually rather liked avatar, but I cant escape the feeling that Avatar was basically a space Pocahontas with flat one dimensional characters......I don't see how this could work 3 more times.
FlunkinMonkey  +   329d ago
Amazing visuals.. everything else pretty weak in my opinion. No place for cheese in James Cameron movies i've grown to love thanks..

This just reeks of cash grab. I still do not understand how Avatar is the highest grossing film ever. It was good sure, but nothing mind-blowing.
chukamachine  +   328d ago
Really enjoyed avatar.

But the main actor Sam Worthington is overrated imo. He's worse even worse in clash of the titans.
Tzunoy  +   328d ago
That means the dude loves to do "three way" with blue people :)
