Jon Landau On When To Expect Avatar Sequel.

I put it here, because most pepole read this section, and not the section on Avatar II. But I'll post it there as well because I have a feeling this post will be moved!

Then again, once they get that material--and Landau agreed that the possibilities for a sequel are somewhat endless--making a sequel will likely be a lot easier than it was to make the first movie. "Not only that, but the hard part is out of the way. We figured out how to do it, and our goal in the next one is to do it more cost-effectively and more time-efficiently, and we have kept on a team of our technical staff who is working right now on Gen 2 of what we did, but with all the experience that we've had. We kept them on, and they're working for us right now."

"The good news is that we have systems and methodologies in place that will not consume a lot of Jim's time," Landau said. "I think Jim's time will be surgical coming in. We have a very good behind-the-scenes crew working on this two-hour documentary we want to put together - Jim's not doing it himself. We have Weta Digital working on these shots, but our animation supervisor is now our visual FX supervisor, so he'll take all of this to a certain point and then Jim will be able to come in, but hopefully, he'll be able to go off and do some other stuff. There are a small number of movies that Jim wants to (direct) himself, but he doesn't want to say that he can do things that he's not going to have time for, and we know that whatever movie he does is not going to be done in six months."

A documentary of Pandora life would be awesome. Kind of like Planet Earth but instead on Pandora. I wonder if they could get Sigourney Weaver to be the narrator.

I hope they are not talking about making a sequel to just talk about Pandoran fauna and flora, they could do that in the DVD or as a separate made for TV special And I doubt it would be something as Epic as the Earth documentaries. It would probably resemble more something like Walking with Dinosaurs.

This goes a long way to easing my fear that Avatar 2 is going to be rushed. Also, a documentary would be awesome, but not as the sequel itself. What would really be awesome, is if the documentary was Jake's perspective of the Na'vi, like a montage of all the video logs we didn't get to watch during the movie.

I think a really awesome documentary, or part of one, would be an extended version of the scenes where Neytiri teaches Jake the Na'vi ways. I don't know how well they'd be able to pull such a thing off -- I'd hate for it to seem forced or artificial -- but that was one of my favorite parts of the movie.

I would guess most folks here have seen this, but in case you accidentally missed it...

Pandora Discovered


I'm sure you'll recognize the voice....

If this is a taste of the documentary to come.....I agree.....EPIC!

Some very good news. I like that they kept a lot of their stuff ready, just in case. I guess you can count on Cameron to earn that sequel.

must have sequel now!! I'd settle for a good MMO in the mean time
