LOS ANGELES (October 27, 2010) __ Moving forward with the most anticipated films of the next decade, Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairmen Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman announced today that Academy Award®-winning filmmaker James Cameron has agreed to make AVATAR 2 and 3 as his next films.
Cameron, who had always viewed AVATAR as the creation of a new world and mythology, will begin work on the scripts early next year with an eye towards commencing production later in 2011. Cameron will decide if he will shoot the films back-to-back after he completes the scripts, but the release of the first, as yet untitled sequel, is targeted for December 2014, with the third film contemplated for a December 2015 release.
AVATAR 2 & 3 will be produced by Cameron and Jon Landau for Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment.
“AVATAR is not only the highest grossing movie of all time, it is a created universe based on the singular imagination and daring of James Cameron, who also raised the consciousness of people worldwide to some of the greatest issues facing our planet,” said Rothman and Gianopulos. “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, and we thank Jim, Jon Landau, Rae Sanchini and all of their team and all of our Fox colleagues throughout the world, who have made this possible.”
Commented Cameron: “It is a rare and remarkable opportunity when a filmmaker gets to build a fantasy world, and watch it grow, with the resources and partnership of a global media company. AVATAR was conceived as an epic work of fantasy – a world that audiences could visit, across all media platforms, and this moment marks the launch of the next phase of that world. With two new films on the drawing boards, my company and I are embarking on an epic journey with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox. Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience’s expectations for the richness of AVATAR’s visual world and the power of the storytelling. In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of AVATAR’s visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world. I’m looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild.”
The Australian Film Institute have announced that Sam Worthington has been nominated for the AFI International Award For Best Actor for his portrayal of Jake Sully in the ground-breaking James Cameron movie ‘Avatar’.
The awards ceremony is due to be held in Melbourne over the course of two evenings, Friday 10th and Saturday 11th December.
No word yet as to whether or not Sam will be attending. Let’s keep our fingers crossed though!

In an article from The Associated Press James Cameron has given us more details on the new footage to be included in the cinema re-release of Avatar on Friday:
Apparently we will now witness the death of one of the main characters of the movie, one which was aluded to in the original film. It will be a very emotional scene, which James Cameron described as “the best CG we did in the whole movie.”
Another scene, from which new pictures were released a few days ago, follows a hunt for one of Pandora’s bizarre creatures. We are expecting a very exciting ride for this one.
Along with the re-instated ‘sex-scene’, which was originally cut to ensure the movie’s rating would allow younger audience members to see it at the theatre, it seems we are due to see some spectacular and very moving scenes when we re-visit Pandora this week.

Sam Worthington Talks ‘Clash Of The Titans’ Sequel, 3-D
‘Today an audience demands a lot more from its 3-D, and they’re going to keep demanding more,’ actor says about ‘Clash’ sequel.
By Todd Gilchrist
Less than two years ago, Sam Worthington was being touted as Hollywood’s next big star, thanks to high-profile roles in movies like “Terminator: Salvation,” “Clash of the Titans” and, of course, James Cameron’s long-awaited comeback, “Avatar.” Now that those movies have introduced him to audiences, however, it’s time to see if it’s the actor or just his projects that brings people out to the theater.
During a recent conversation at Radical Studios, where he also discussed his Full Clip Productions comic book imprint, he offered a hint about what he’d like to take on in the forthcoming sequel to “Clash of the Titans.”
