'Avatar 2' Release Date, Cast & Plot Updates: James Cameron Says Sequels to Feature New Worlds & Habitats
Director James Cameron promises viewers that they will see different worlds in the upcoming sequels to his film "Avatar".
Cinemablend reports that during an interview with French news site RTL, the director shared his positive view about his latest project and said, "I think it's going to be spectacular. You'll see new worlds, new habitats, new cultures. The primary conflict between the human view of dominating nature and the Na'vi view of being integrated into nature is the same, but it manifests itself in very different ways."
Right now, Cameron is working on the early stages of the film's production. This includes developing the software that will be used in filming, writing the script, and drafting the designs for characters, and other worldly environments and creatures. He said, "I'm not actually directing yet, but I'm doing all the other creative processes that lead up to that."
Similar to his work in the first film, the director is not taking any chances with the type of technology that he will be using in the "Avatar" sequels. As IGN pointed out, Cameron waited for more than ten years before he released "Avatar" simply because "he was waiting for the tech to catch up to his vision."
But for the second, third, and fourth installments, Cameron says he and his team are using a new set of tech tools to speed up the production process. He said, "We expect to accelerate the process quite a bit, because we've improved a lot of the software and the computer graphic tools, and we've been working closely with Weta Digital down here in New Zealand developing a whole new suite of tools to speed up the process."
As to what fans of the first film can expect in the sequels, Cameron shared, "The thing that's great about 'Avatar', it's such a rich world, I can explore any theme or idea that I want. Once you've got the characters that an audience loves, it's great to surprise them and make changes and turns that they don't expect. And you don't have to spend so much time of the movie setting up stuff, because the audience will remember from the previous film."
