James Cameron's Sequel to "AVATAR"

[8wid]

I still don't think Avatar would have nearly been as succesful as it was if it's screenplay had not been sitting on the internet for the past decade.

^ I agree, news on this has been slow, is he still writing it?

Yes he is. The last interview I read, he said he was planning out outlines for two separate but interconnected movies. Which means Avatar 2 won't end on a cliffhanger to get people back for Avatar 3.

I hope that show gets canceled. **** Cinemax

Me too.
The funny thing is i don't even live in the USA

There was A LOT of hype for the movie well before any footage was ever seen. I think a lot of word of mouth made an average movie more excited. The new special effects technology didn't hurt either though too.

The only people who read the original scriptment were hardcore movie nerds and industry types.

General audiences knew absolutely jacksh** about the movie

You can come up with as many explanations as you want, and youre free to believe them as much as you want, but at the end of the day there's no single reason for a movie making almost $3 Billion dollars, its a combination of every single factor succeeding at full throttle in a way that no other movie in the past decade has.

Sounds promising hopefully Cameron really concretes on the story because he's set up the framework in the first film now make a story that's really worth talking about.

You basically you're saying it was completely a random event to be that succesful?

It was successful because of it's groundbreaking special effects and 3D, James Cameron having directed all those successful movies including Titanic, the romance and the simple story that makes every culture understand it.
It had nothing to do with the screenplay being on the net for 10 years, i didn't even know that, with the track record of James Cameron and groundbreaking special effects everybody knew it was going to be the movie event of the year

Man, I can't wait to see how Cameron has topped himself. I'm sure he will in terms of purely visuals.

The visuals I expect to improve, but if there is no great improvement of story over the rehash of Ferngully, I won't see it at all.

 

[Lord]

He must improve the story, remember Aliens and Terminator 2?
He knows how to make a sequel memorable and i hope he does that without Avatar 2

 

[Kane52630]

I still find it funny people bring up a obscure animated movie like that to relate it to avatar.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Avatar was way more Pochahontas than Ferngully.

No it was way more Dances With Wolves then Pochahontas.

Whatever it was ripping off, it still sucked. I'm really glad to hear Jimbo is concentrating as much on writing this time around as he is on his MS Paint skills.

EDIT: It's just come on TV now, I can hear Stephen Lang's joojoo beans monologue in the other room. Cambo better come up with a villain as entertaining as Col. Quaritch. He stole the show.

Trust me, it works.

Almost everybody i know found its story similar to Pocahontas, if you don't think that movie is that known then

 

[Doctor Jones]

*Yawn*

That's why I don't come to these threads. It's the same thing I always see. At least one poster mentions how it's like Ferngully or Pocahontas. It's very enlightening.

Anyway, I'm confident in Cameron to deliver the sequel goods like he's done in the past twice.

HEY!
I already mentioned James Cameron being good with sequels with Aliens and Terminator 2 as examples of how he can make a memorable sequel.
I only brought Pocahontas because he said it wasn't a known movie

 

[:eek:]

I think it's hilarious that there are so many negative comments about Avatar being "Dances with Wolves in space" while at the same time Terminator 2 gets so much praise. Storywise, T2 was pretty much exact the same movie as the first one. It is basicallly a remake with bigger budget disguised as a sequel. And the only reason T2 exists is because Cameron didn't have the money or technology to do it in 1984

The paternal relationship between T-800 and John Connor helped, not to mention the fate is what we make of it, and so on, it was still very original actually and it expanded the Terminator universe
