Back in May, James Cameron was first quoted as saying that there might be four "Avatar" movies
in total. With the first one having earned a record $2.782 billion at
theaters worldwide, star Sigourney Weaver is now saying the next three
will be filmed at the same time. Here are several quotes from an
interview with Showbiz 411:
When “Political Animals” finishes shooting, see if you can follow
Weaver’s schedule: she goes right into a new Christopher Durang play for
a short run at Lincoln Center. Then she films “Avatar” 2, 3, and 4 with
James Cameron. That’s right: they’re making three sequels to the blue
3D phenom all at the same time. Weaver says she has no idea how long it
will take, or how it’s going to work. “I just show up,” she said.
In the previous interview, Cameron said that they had "spent
the last year and a half on software development and pipeline
development. The virtual production methodology was extremely
prototypical on the first film. As then, no one had ever done it before
and we didn't even know for two and half years into it and $100 million
into it if it was going to work. So we just wanted to make our lives a
whole lot easier so that we can spend a little more of our brainpower on
creativity. It was a very, very uphill battle on the first film. So
we've been mostly working on the tool set, the production pipeline,
setting up the new stages in Los Angeles, setting up the new visual
effects pipeline in New Zealand, that sort of thing. And, by the way,
writing. We haven't gotten to the design stage yet. That'll be the
next."
Could we be seeing "Avatar" movies for three consecutive Decembers in
2014, 2015 and 2016? We'll have to wait and see when the production
reveals more detai
