Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 will begin shooting near the end of 2013
"I want to get these scripts nailed down, I don't want to be writing the movie in post production. We kind of did that on the first picture, I ended up cutting out a lot of scenes and so on and I don't want to do that again."
Back in April, the director's producing partner Jon Landau revealed that Avatar 2 might not make its proposed December 2014 release date. If shooting doesn't start until the end of 2013, it seems we may be waiting a bit longer before heading back to Pandora.
The filmmaker also believes that Peter Jackson's use of the 48 frames per second frame rate will lead the way for his Pandora-set sequels.
"If there is acceptance of 48, then that will pave the way for Avatar (sequels) to take advantage of it. We charged out ahead on 3D with Avatar, now Peter's doing it with The Hobbit. It takes that kind of bold move to make change."
Avatar 2 comes to theaters in 2014. The film is directed by James Cameron.
Avatar 3 comes to theaters in 2015. The film is directed by James Cameron.

@huntsman -- I haven't seen either of those movies besides "The Terminator", and that kind of sucked, to be fair. My point is, if "Avatar" is below-average; where does that put "The Terminator"? Their both in the same league, if you ask me. 'Okay' movies. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hopefully the world will end before the sequels are made. James Cameron gave us two great Terminator films, Aliens and The Abyss. Now he's wasting his time on sequels of a below average film when there's so many better idea's and films he could be working on.

'The writing process is annoying, I just want to put whatever down and get it over with. But how about that 48 fps?! It'll be cool to see how people respond to that technology, huh?'
That's what I take away from this article. I'll believe it's actually being made when I see set photos from principal photography.
