James Cameron Commits to Avatar 2 & 3

[Axzarious]

Im keeping my fingers crossed for "The Imperium stumbles across the homeworld of the Navi" plot.

I do remember hearing that since the 'planet' the movie took place on was a moon, and the planet has 3 moons, that they would have a story focusing on each moon or something like that.

After the Imperium got there, provided you're talking about the Imperium I think you are, there would probably be a few less moons.

Suffer not the alien to live...

Yup, that Imperium. I was thinking they would just send the Catachan jungle fighters (Unfair to every living thing on the planet due to much more hospitible the Navi homeworld is compared to catachan) or Cadians (Much more balanced).

I dont think they would explode the planet, they would probably strip mine the place of the unobtanium and then put it to use as a training ground or something. If they couldnt take the planet, well, they could always firebomb it then take the minerals, or just, well, as you stated, explode it.

The Imperium thinks in the long term for some things. They would probably just explode the planet and mine the asteriod belt for 'Unobtanium', or (because of it's physics defying properties) declare it chaos tainted, blow it up, and declare that region of space restricted.

I suppose this means Jim Cameron will finally make his first bad movie, most likely followed up by a second.

Avatar was good for its visuals. There's no way a sequel can match its success, let alone two of them.

 

[antipunt]

Wow. They -got some balls-....

They're -really- gonna do it? My friend and I have been making jokes left to right about how the Na'vi are so terribly screwed (aka: there will never be a sequel, lulz). Let's see what kind of miracle they can pull of this time... TWICE

 

[Kinokohatake]

Go James! Give us another good one! A show to remember!
I think there is a lot to be excited about here, lets look at the facts:
#A: He wrote all three scripts at once, so the chance of discontinuity is reduced somewhat.
#B: He had to remove a LOT of stuff from the first one becasue Hollywood was sure it was going to fail, therefore forcing him to make a movie that could stand on its own, thus why the story was a little archatypical (so yeah, what the naysayers complain about, was kind done on purpose because the people who backed Cameron were only interested in the technology,not the film)
#C: James Cameron made Terminator 2 and Aliens, so he seems to be well versed in making good sequels, or at the very least decent ones.
#D: He has created a massive, beautiful and stunning universe, so the bones of a great story are there
#E: Although the story may contain characters and settings from the first, i get the impression that he will be expanding the universe, exploring new characters and new ideas, you know, the way you make a good sequel.
#F: Even if the second and third movies blow harder than a Narwal, there is still the kick-ass first movie to watch.
#G: NOthing's over while he's breathin!

Still, i am not looking forward to the uncreative fucks who think they are funny, going on and on about "pocahontas in space' or 'dances with Na'vi',you know, the ones too dim to come up with thier own material, the ones who seem to take pleasure in ruining so many htings for other people. Ah well, they are a small price to pay for a return to Pandora.

Long story short, thank you mr. Cameron all i need to do is wait until 2014 until i can get my crack fix. I jsut hope they second and third go well, it would be a shame for the franchise that got me into writing to fail. Good luck and may Eywa bless this project.

#A: Scripts go through COUNTLESS rewrites
#B: Sort of messes up your #A
#C: So those movies he made 2 decades ago are what make you excited? 20 year old resume entries don't excite me.
#D: He threw glow in the dark paint on everything. BLUE paint. It is a gaudy rainforest.
#E: Cameron already said that he wants to take the story underwater. So brush up on your Little Mermaid.
#F: Tell that to Star Wars fans. Bullshit retcon can and will happen.
#G: Unfortunately. Directors need to leave their characters alone. Avatar doesn't need a sequel like Indiana Jones didn't need another, or Star Wars a prequel.

 

[faceless chick]

oh god 2 SEQUELS??
1 was too much anyway.
please don't turn this into the next star wars franchise i've had it up to here with that series as well ;.;

 

[General Ken8]

I think James Cameron is being a bit greedy, Avatar was a very good movie, but I don't see how they could make a good sequel. And not to mention Avatar 3.
Hopefully he knows what he's doing

If you don't wanna watch 'em, don't watch 'em. That's really all i can say.
Please, do continue wasting your life trying to nay say me (emphasis on the 'trying' cause there is no way in hell you will convince me not to look forward to these movies), because every precious second you waste doing that is a precious second you don't get back, and looking at the quality of your arguments, i doubt one could really say 'time well wasted'. And i am sure you will come up with some 'clever' retort about me wasting precious seconds of my life talking to you, but i couldn't care less becasue my typing speed means i have wasted less than two minutes on this whole stupid argument.
Piss off troll.

 

[crystalsnow]

So what exactly is going to happen now? The hoomanz are gone, everything was happy ever after. The only thing they could do with 2 & 3 is tack on an unintended story continuation that won't fit properly and end up making a huge mess.

 

[tkioz]

The only way they'll make me happy if Earth drops rocks on the blue freaks from orbit. High Ground > All

 

[Odoylerules360]

GodDammit!

 

[EqualNOpposite]

I smell trouble...

This is NOT a movie that was well set up for a sequel, let alone a trilogy. And agreeing to TWO more movies instead of one is always a red flag. Remember, Cameron, you've got all the money you want, do NOT phone this in.

 

[superbatranger]

I don't see any reason in making a sequel to Avatar, let alone turn it into a trilogy. I always felt it was just fine as a single, stand-alone film.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

That was kinda my point. It really has as much in common with Dune as all the other things people say it's ripping off (which isn't really all that much). Also, Dune is older than everything else people point at.

Oh... I knew that... kinda

 

[mrF00bar]

2014, and 2015... Great... Hope the story is better this time. I liked 1, but its story wasn't as good as like District 9.

District 9 had a much better story than Avatar in my opinion.

 

[Inglonias]

Forget the story problem for the sequels. Fox certainly did. Remember this gem from the OP?

"We had no higher priority, and can feel no greater joy, than enabling Jim to continue and expand his vision of the world of Avatar. This is a great day in the history of our company,"

My guess is that this was all Fox's call.

 

[The Madman]

2014, and 2015... Great... Hope the story is better this time. I liked 1, but its story wasn't as good as like District 9.

District 9 had a much better story than Avatar in my opinion.

District 9 was just Dances with Wolves with robots and racist stereotypes. I mean some guy starts out initially hostile towards a group, is gradually integrated into their society, and ultimately ends up championing their cause against his one-time allies? Gee, where have I heard that before?

So unoriginal.

I never said anything about anyone not being excited to see these movies. I was just responding to yours because of your "list". I don't give a shit if you respond or not.

But finally, how in the hell am I a "troll". I saw a forum topic I could comment on because unlike some of the other people who claim to dislike this movie, I actually sat and watched it. So I commented on it and now I am a "troll". Perhaps you should look up the definition of a troll.
