Avatar Sequel to be Announced Within ‘A Few Months’ | /Film

DO WANT :D

Great news. I am expecting a theatrical release of holidays 2013, that is if they start fairly soon. If not, sometime in 2014.

The good thing is that like the article said, James Cameron doesn't have to wait several years just to create the things he needs to even begin filming. All the hard work is done now. The only thing James Cameron needs to do is create a story that is as good or better than Avatar, then they can begin filming.

I just hope that it wont be rushed! I would actually be happier if the release date was something like Holiday 2014 - Q1 2015 then 2012-2013!

Im not to worried though. James knows how to make perfect sequels better then anyone! ^^

Well, don't forget a lot of the work can be reused - much of the CG environments, the models, etc, plus the cameras and motion capture technology are all in place now, so it's going to be faster to make then Avatar.

I find it interesting that James Cameron will give us an exact date of the sequel's release. It's as if he already has everything down on a piece of paper with a schedule with dates.

Theres a lot of pressure riding on JC to get the sequel done and giving us a date would only pressure him more to finish it in time.

I can't predict the exact day of the release, but I expect it to either be sometime between October and December or on April 22.

I've noticed a pattern with James Cameron's most recent movies.

Titanic - Friday, December 19, 1997
Avatar - Friday, December 18, 2009

As you can see, James Cameron has discovered how successful the mid-part of December is for releasing a movie. During which time, there is a Christmas break that extends right through to the new year. This gives viewers plenty of times to view his movie(s) once or more times. Then, a few months later are the Oscars. James Cameron is smart for this.

So my estimation is that Avatar 2 will be released on Friday, December 20, 2013

I noticed this as well. The release date of Avatar was absolutely perfect. It was during the holiday season, before the Oscars, and there were no big movies for months which allowed Avatar to stay at the top.

...Nah. There were big movies like "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Book of Eli", and still it wasn't shaken. It stayed on top... on top of other big movies. That's how big it really was.

Now Titanic, that was a movie that had no competition up 'till May.

I have faith Cameron will make a sequel that will still blow our socks off even after the first Avatar... and I'm guessing by reading this news he's came to the conclusion he'll make Avatar 2 before any other movie he has in mind? This is ecstatic! I'm so excited!!!

Cool story bro
*rocks back and forth in anticipation for when the movie opens*

2013, come on thats really not as long as some expected, chin up it's Cameron.

It will be better than the first im sure, he builds upon his foundations, unlike some directors who either stay on the same level, or completely break the foundations upon which it was successful

Ohoho, this is such good news! I'm excited already!
The only thing is, I tend to be nervous about sequels, since they're often badly done. I'll have faith in him though, he's brilliant.

HMMMM! I'm glad to hear this! I don't think he will make a bad sequel, after all, he is the Avatar creator! :) And I don't think three years is a long time.. But waiting will be hard :(

Yeah, I really doubt he's going to make a bad sequel. Avatar 2 will be amazing :D

Also someone pointed this out too... Sherlock Holmes was released into theaters after Avatar was, and Sherlock Holmes was also taken out and released onto DVD and Avatar was still in theaters :D

Avatar is still playing in 3D at a theater about 30 minutes or so away from me.

Edit: Make that two theaters within 30 minutes from me.

Edit 2: Make that 5 theaters still showing Avatar. All 5 in 3D.

Im guessing January or February of 2014, Easter at the latest, when the sequel will come out.

Darn you lol kidding I would still go See it in theaters

I am hoping for either Christmas 2013 or Christmas 2014. I like it at the holidays because I can see it more and I can take my kids more. Come on sequel!!!

I'm hoping for Christmas as well, December 18th... which was Avatar was released, the movie that changed my life :D

I think it will probably come out around Christmas 2013 or 2014. That should give them a good amount of time to work out a good script, plan it, and then start shooting/editing it. I'd rather that they make a good quality movie instead of rushing one to the screen.

I love how this is like an announcement for the announcement XD.
But, how exciting! :D

I have a feeling the date will be Holidays 2013 than it will be delayed till summer 2014, then delayed again to Late December 2014.

But I'm glad that it appears they have started doing some work on it.
