James Cameron Wants Avatar Trilogy

Although the hit film has just been released in theatres, Cameron says that he has two more films planned for the franchise.

The director is hoping to turn Avatar into a trilogy.  And although he hasn’t started working on the second instalment, he wants to make movie number two much faster than the four years that it took to make Avatar.

"My next goal is to refine the technique, make it easier so it doesn’t take as long. We were doing a lot of pioneering work on ‘Avatar.’ It wouldn’t have taken as long if we already knew exactly how to do it," said Cameron.

Avatar used revolutionary technology, but to create the characters, ten months were spent perfecting their appearance after capturing images with Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, two of the film’s stars.

So it’s likely that the Avatar story will continue.  Of course, the studio will have to give the project the green light first, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem considering the box office success that Avatar is having.
