Uppföljaren skjuts upp till slutet av 2017 -
"James Cameron told the Associated Press this week that he has pushed back production on the “Avatar” sequels and the next chapter won’t hit theaters until Christmas, 2017. That’s a year later than had been planned".
Cameron’s words confirm what had been rumored for months — that the director had yet to deliver a shooting script to 20th Century Fox, delaying budgeting and production work on the vastly ambitious project. Part of the issue is that Cameron is shooting his planned trilogy simultaneously.
“We’re not just going to do one and then make up another one and another one after that,” Cameron told the Associated Press. “And parallel with that, we’re doing all the design. So we’ve designed all the creatures and the environments.”
Cameron also spoke to Variety for that article, providing some insight into what the future holds for the films.
“There’s nothing I need to say as an artist about the state of the world and human affairs that I can’t do through the lens of the ‘Avatar’ universe,” he said. “We’ve had a couple of years to think through the story arc of the next three films, and every day that goes by, I believe in the stories I’m telling more and more. We’re not coming out of the block fast to capitalize on the last film.”
