Avatar Trilogy?

[Brainiac]

I still think Avatar could be the Star Wars of this generation  
And who's to say the Na'vi don't have the other tsahaylu-tentacle-thing on their head. Maybe it just devolved into a shorter version.
Plus, the Na'vi were descendant from those monkey-things they see at the beginning. When they got out of the trees stopped hanging from the trees 24/7, they lost the need for the split arms.
Breathing... err... dunno.
but the ìkran and toruk are hexapod too, which explains the dual pairs of wings and the pair of legs.

[Aperture]

Sequels that were planned from the start can rock.  Sequels that were tacked on after the franchise took off to milk it for more money tend to fall flat.

You're right, but did Mr.Cameron have sequels for Avatar in mind from the beginning?

Are the sequels going to take as long as Avatar 1 did to produce?

I don't recall the monkey/lemur things having a USB port though.

I did say tend to, not always, but I don't know if he had them in mind or not.  However the answer to the second is probably no.  He has the technology, the language, etc.  A lot of the up front time needed to create what he has now is done.

[Brainiac]

He's got the entire forest (or a large part of it) rendered, too. And he intends to use it.

[Eyamsiyu]

I've heard from a lot of sources (one of them being here on these forums) that Cameron did have sequels in mind, but would only start the complete process once he saw that Avatar 1 was going to be a success.  If it wasn't he was going to scrap the whole thing.  But now we have seen that it's done REALLY well, and my guess is he already had an outline for sequels, and is mapping out the details right now.

In the end, it doesn't matter: it's a James Cameron movie: there's little "suck" in his later movies.

[Zalorticus]

I reckon a sequel (or two) would be great. We did see an awful lot of the Na'vi in Avatar, but we didn't really get to get into the meat of who they are. I mean, yes, we know they have a langauge, a connection to nature and all living things, etc, but I think there's a lot more to them that we didn't get to see. I'd be really stoked if they came out with sequels, especially if it means delving deeper into who these people are. ^_^

James should make a documentary about them

Ikran week, on discovery!

as far as i know, cameron never did a sequel of his own movie.

as far as i know, cameron never did a sequel of his own movie.

He did the Terminator sequel, which was a HUGE success. As a big fan of the series, I have to say the second one is by far my favorite.

I don't think we have to worry about the sequel being a flop, Cameron has been planning a story arc from the beginning and he was quoted saying that this was the movie that all these years as a director have prepared him for (sorry, forgot the article name). It seems as though Avatar is his 'baby' and we can expect he'll do a fantastic job expanding on the story.

It would be cool to hit a premier with many from these threads.  Kind of a fan-con slash movie event.

[Ckravitz1223]

i would  see that anything related to the NA'VI i would sse it.

Completely agreed. Also, after making $1,025,000,000+ on the movie, you'll expect more. It should be sooner than 4 years in the making since Pandora is created, the actors are trained, and Cameron stated he worked out 2 other Avatars

Ikran week, on discovery!

You know, as much as this was a joke... It would actually be rather interesting to make short documentary specials about 'Pandoran Wildlife' - if for nothing else than marketing for the franchise.

[Night Raider]

I think the documentary would have to be made by the fans. I doubt the studio will allocate the money needed for production of something like this.

And yes, the logical sequel would be humans returning for unbtainium. 20 mil per kilo is crazy! In the survival guide it says that it sells for 40 mil per kilo at the time of publishing. If they take off from this, I could see humans returning there ASAP. And with AVATARs controlled by Marines this time, to add a little "edge" to the storyline.

I would argue that it's definitely the Star Wars of our generation. Technological breakthroughs+incredible effects+archetypal+ story+cool spin+engaging characters+incredible sucess...all of those things were what marked Star Wars, and are marking Avatar in the annals of cinema history as we speak.

The Ewoks were cool! Don't hassle the Hoff Ewoks. And I don't think Cameron is stupid enough to put jar jar in it.
