Avatar sequel could be ready for 2108

James Cameron has confirmed that the sequel to his 2009 classic Avatar could be completed in the next hundred years.

Speaking in a video released to commemorate to five year anniversary of the first time he released a video about an Avatar sequel, the Terminator legend stated that he was confident the sequel would be completed for the turn of the century.

“Yeah, you can’t rush movies,” he said.

“I mean you’ve got to spend ten years talking about doing a sequel, then ten years casting it, then spend ten years talking about who you’ve cast in it.

“That’s thirty years and we haven’t even got a camera out yet.

“You’ve also got to factor in me deciding to go off in a submarine to spend a year filming the bottom of the ocean for a documentary that only nine people will ever watch.

“And it takes me five years to spend a year filming, so it all adds up.

“Anyway, that’s the Avatar update for this decade, pop back again in ten years and I’ll tell you that we thought about casting Patrick Duffy from Dallas, but decided not to.”

Although Mr Cameron made no comment about the third film in the planned trilogy, industry rumour suggests it could be ready before the sun cools, earth crumbles and humanity is consigned to cosmic history.

It might not, though.
