Cant tell how exciting this is. Too bad it will take another whole year beyond planned.

Talk about feature creep.

I can wait; think of how much that new material will bring "General Avatar Discussion" back from the dead.

I was more looking for an excuse to make a terrible pun.

About how James Cameron is a feature creep?

[Clarke]

No, as in scope creep in feature films.

Now I think we're all just waiting to hear the news that Principal Photography has begun on the sequel films...maybe sometime this month??

[Alan]

It may have already begun. "Roll Camera!"

This is what I've really been waiting to hear. I mean, according to another article in another thread the sequel (the first one, I assume) started filming last Friday, or at least was supposed to. It would be nice to hear someone high up officially say "yes! we are indeed filming!" It's great that there are now four films in the pipeline, and it's great that James, Zoe, etc. have hinted that the first sequel will be jaw-dropping...don't get me wrong, it really is great, but the enthusiasm in my head is muted and will stay that way until I know this thing is off the ground. I've heard James is a perfectionist and I can appreciate that, but I hope there's nothing wrong that's been dragging down pre-production.

Well, it seems like the actual shooting might have started.

I don't have a link for this but in a short video interview I saw a few days ago, JC said they have just started shooting the MoCap but it was all hush-hush.

But we do have some news today:

'AVATAR' Sequels Not Back-to-Back says James Cameron

Tidbit from the link:

“It’s not back-to-back. It’s really all one big production. It’s more the way you would shoot a miniseries. So we’ll be shooting across all [AVATAR scripts] simultaneously. So Monday I might be doing a scene from Movie Four, and Tuesday I’m doing a scene from Movie One. … We’re working across, essentially, eight hours of story. It’s going to be a big challenge to keep it all fixed in our minds, exactly where we are, across that story arc at any given point. It’s going to be probably the most challenging thing I’ve ever done.

Cheers!

Irayo, Jachyra, for posting this news! And good to know JC doesn't want to try to compete with the upcoming Star Wars films...I wouldn't want the Avatar films to be in direct competition with Star Wars at the box office.

Ugh
How about we stop pushing the release of Avatar 2 back and stop worrying about 3 and 4 for now?
Easier said than done. But I'm just saying.

[Smirnoff]
