We’ve heard plenty of bits and pieces over the last few years from James Cameron regarding his two planned sequels to AVATAR, including how they’ll shoot back to back and will focus on the ocean ecology of Pandora. So the fact that AVATAR 2 and AVATAR 3 are coming isn’t really news at this point. What is news, provided its not some sort of misprint, is the revelation that Cameron will actually be filming AVATAR 2, 3, and 4 all back to back.
“When [her new series] ‘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.”
The bigger and much more important question is: will you show up?
It’s almost a crime to animate over Zoe Saldana when we know that she looks like this.
