Cameron talks about adding in delete scenes from first movie, other characters

[Tree of Souls]

I didn't see this posted anywhere and found it highly interesting, including the part about using deleted scenes shot for the first film in the sequel.

While promoting the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of Avatar, Cameron said he's holding on to at least one deleted scene that he can bring back in a second film.

"There's a scene that I'm specifically not putting in the deleted scenes in any form because it's a scene that I want to preserve for a future film," Cameron said in a group interview on March 23 in West Hollywood, Calif. "I'm not going to say what it is, but that's absolutely a consideration."

As far as that Avatar sequel, producer Jon Landau described what other characters, creatures and locations could find their way into the story.

"Jim envisioned a very rich world," Landau said in a separate group interview. "There are creatures in this world that we have designed that we didn't have time to put into the movie. There are characters that we had actually filmed some scenes with that we didn't have time to put in the movie. Not only did we only touch the surface of Pandora, there are 12 other satellite moons around Polyphemus that we haven't even gone to. So I think all those are true possibilities."

Thanks for sharing.
I am now so curious what scene that has been preserved for the sequel.

Oh man all this talk about Avatar 2 isn't helping!

Oh well. Once Avatar comes out on Blu Ray we should be good for a while.

Great information, thanks for posting, I can't wait for Avatar 2 but I know I'm going to have to, LOL.

Yes, thanks for sharing. You know, I have been purposely not getting too anxious about the sequel(s), but this sort of stuff makes it awfully hard not to!

i reckon it may be the shot of a pregnant Neytiri that was taken out of the script...

I think you've nailed it.

I think you've nailed it.

oh, i hope i haven't given it away. bugger :(
then again, i could be wrong. Apparently the second film was intended to be a full-blown war film, so i don't see how a baby would fit in.
hmm..

Jon Landau said that there is twelve other satellites which sound like the second film may not be on Pandora. I think that it would be a shame and it just wouldn't be Avatar if the film isn't on Pandora.
