Avatar Sequel – Avatar director James Cameron says there will be a sequel to Avatar, the most popular and most expensive film of all time.
With Avatar already grossing 2 billion dollars worldwide, it shouldn’t be a surprise that director James Cameron sees a sequel coming soon.
“I haven’t started thinking about the story yet, although I have a general story arc for it,” Cameron told Larry King February 4, 2010, on ‘Larry King Live’. “But we have had some technical discussion of how we would do it.”
During the interview, Cameron said he was “absolutely” surprised by the records it has broken. “And that’s not some sort of false humility. We thought it was gonna be a commercial movie, but we didn’t think it was gonna do half of what it’s done financially,” he said.
Avatar received nine Oscar nominations, including best film and best director as well as nods for special effects and costumes.
“I see a very similar pattern, in a sense, between Titanic and Avatar. Not that they are similar films because they are not — totally different subjects — but in both cases, you have people coming back over and over to see the film,” Cameron added.
Cameron also told Larry King that making Avatar was not easy. “I had to keep from putting a pistol in my mouth about 20 times during the making of this film,” he said ironically.
“That’s the nature of an experimental project. It is like the Lewis and Clark expedition (to the US Pacific coast). They can have a general idea where they are going but there is no way you could predict all twists and turns along the way.”
