Matt C 468 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, Avatar is not only getting two but three follow-ups. Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment will release Avatar 2 December 2016, Avatar 3 December 2017, and the third one in December 2018. Production will begin next year, and director James Cameron has enlisted some high profile writers to co-write the follow-ups. (He'll be directing all three pics too.)Josh Friedman (The Sarah Connor Chronicles) will do Avatar 2.Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) are penning Avatar 3.Shane Salerno (Savages) is doing Avatar 4.Source.

Oh and this clip sounds really familiar:Building upon the world we created with Avatar has been a rare and incredibly rewarding experience. In writing the new films, I've come to realize that Avatar's world, story and characters have become even richer than I anticipated, and it became apparent that two films would not be enough to capture everything I wanted to put on screen.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 468 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 At least Cameron is getting other writers to polish his clunky dialogue. But Shane Salerno... seriously? Cameron must be a closet Alien vs. Predator: Requiem fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The first one, while enjoyable, was way overrated IMO (critically and financially). I might see a second just for the cool visuals and music, but I'll probably stay away.I'm curious about this film, as it seems to have completely disappeared from pop culture since 2008. Surprising for the top grossing movie of all time. I wonder how well the sequels will do. Granted, the first one had literally no following since it wasn't a part of a pre-existing franchise (unless Disney's Pocahontas series counts ), so we'll see.

Henry B 51 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, I'm very cold to the idea of more Avatar at this point. This franchise has no staying power. I'm sure all the sequels will be at least moderate successes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dutton 7,427 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hey, come on, guys. Avatar was clearly one of the greatest films of all time. How else could it be the highest-grossing film ever (before inflation)? This should definitely happen so we can all revisit that world and the characters we love so much. I for one can't wait for the Disney theme park attraction. What a perfect fit, right? A movie about hippie scientists saving savage aliens from the military while a soldier telepathically links with one of the alien bodies and uses it to fuck a female alien. With guns and a robot holding a giant knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,540 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Its ridiculous success aside, it is actually a bit better directed and realized than most blockbusters, so I can't see why I would be treated any different than other stuff out there.

JoeinAR 1,953 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm just anxious to see what James Cameron does on a technical level. You can be absolutely sure that some people will criticize him for his story, a few fools will criticize him for his story telling. Then there will those who say it doesn't look that good, or the 3D really isnt THAT impressive. Will he be the one that succeeds where PJ failed in more fps?of course past success does not guarantee future success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 566 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I only saw The Hobbit in 3D HFR IMAX in the cinema, but truth be told, I found watchng The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX earlier that year a much more immersive experience. That movie made much better use of the IMAX format (as did its predecessor). It also took me a while to get used to the HFR. For the first ten minutes, it looked like the movie was being played in fast forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzying at first but in an exciting way.When I saw it later on a normal screen, it felt like a television set.2D was best. I wish I could have seen it in IMAX 2D, but all the IMAX screens in New England showed it in IMAX 3D only.I can't recall having heard anything about 2D IMAX version. Thought it was 3D only.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
