James Cameron says ‘Avatar 2′ will not be a prequel

With all the talk of James Cameron turning the Avatar story into a trilogy, the popular director has noted that the next rumored installment will not be a prequel. If you are wanting to see how Sam Worthington’s character, Jake Sully, lost the use of his legs, you’re out of luck…and you’re sick.
Earlier this month Camera talked about the proposed follow-ups to Avatar and commented on what the cost might look at for the production.
“…in terms of the pitch it was: OK, you’ve spent a lot of money on the first one; on the second one we’ll be able to amortize it [the CG assets] and focus on the story and all that … and they bought that,” says Cameron regarding the assets and technology that has already been produced for the first film. Having these in place would make follow-ups cheaper to make and could increase profit margins for the studio.
While speaking with MTV, Cameron stated that the next two movies would pick-up from where Avatar left off. “We’ll follow Jake and Neytiri [Zoe Saldana],” says Cameron. “I have a trilogy-scaled arc of story right now, but I haven’t really put any serious work into writing a script.”
Last month, Worthington spoke about more Avatar movies, saying he would “94 by the time [the trilogy] finishes.”

Lol, the title confused me when it said sequel. I think you meant prequel right? As for prequels, JC's supposed to be writing a prequel novel for Avatar that will elaborate on the character's backgrounds and so forth.

Lol got confused too. Was worried there for a minute man :P I don't know if the Avatar prequel would work as a film although people might be interested to see how does the earth look by 2100+.

Maybe it would work better as a book of some sort?
