Director James Cameron says that fans shouldn’t assume that the fact that he’s working on Avatar 2 and 3 means that film franchise will be trilogy.
“We’re shooting two films back-to-back, so I’m writing two scripts, not one, which will complete a free-film story arc – not really a trilogy, but just an overall character arc so I’m pretty excited about that,” Cameron said.
Cameron went on to state that while he feels the pressure to write quality sequels, he is not letting himself become overly stressed.
“There’s always an expectation,” the 56-year-old said. “I had to deal with that after The Terminator back in 1984. All of a sudden I had a big hit movie and it was, ‘What are you doing next?’ But my job is take the audience on a journey and entertain them. The second I am sitting down writing, I just go to Pandora. The characters have their own lives.”
What? He’s using his original film as a backbone for films sub-titled “2” and “3”, but don’t worry folks, they aren’t sequels??? Man’s got cajones, you got to give him that. Pretty good at stringing a line of B.S. too
I keep reading this story over and over trying to figure out what he means. Is he debating the term “trilogy”? Or is he thinking four or more films?
