James Cameron has a 'road map' for Avatar sequel(s)

[Zeus]

James Cameron has a "road map" for an Avatar sequel.

The legendary director is thrilled audiences have responded so well to his sci-fi epic, which recently became the highest-grossing film of all time and has received nine nominations at this year's Academy Awards.

He is already feverishly planning a second, third and even fourth film, and plans to start working on the next one immediately.

"It wasn't really planned as a trilogy," Cameron explained. "I mapped out a second and a third story, but the second story is more in focus. The third story is fainter and if there were a fourth story, it would be fainter yet.

"I have a road map for Avatar 2. I know where I'm going with it and I'm not planning any long hiatus before I start work again."

Cameron insisted he always wanted to make more than one Avatar movie because he had invested so much money into props and technology. He claimed it wouldn't make good business sense to quit after one when you could make more for much less money.

"There was always this notion that it made sense from a business standpoint that if we invested all this money in the first film, that our margin would be less than it would be on the second film, where the assets already existed," he explained to Empire magazine.

No long hiatus before he starts working, sweet, that means we won't have to wait too long.

Wait! Fourth??!! Did you just mention a FOURTH! movie?? YES! I sure hope so I gotta keep feeding this love for avatar. Granted I'm looking for quality at least approaching that of the first movie. I thought James Cameron was only planning on a trilogy. I just don't want it ruined with additional movies seeking to make money. But 4 well-made movies would be sweet.

being a fan of Tool, I know all to well how it feels to wait and wait and wait. But making music is a bit different from movies so I only hope not having a long enough break to take the time to evolve as a director (instead of making the same movie over and over again) dosen't affect him. But he said he already had a map of the storey so it's likley this is not the case. But still, I'm used to waiting for theese things.
