James Cameron Plans for an Avatar Sequel
About being on the set, she said, "It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I was shocked to go to this dingy little warehouse and see these guys making a movie entirely on computers. There were no sets, or anything. It was like a weird, post-modern play."
Why did it take Cameron so long to make the film? "After Titanic, he was going to take a few years off. He was going to make some documentaries. That period lasted longer than he thought it would. He had some movies that he was working on, that didn't work out. There was a movie based on a comic book called Bright Angel Falling that he ended up not making. He had a Mars movie that he invested a huge amount of money into. Then two other Mars movies came out. They didn't do very well. So it went to the back burner. He was also working on Battle Angle, which everyone thought was going to be his next movie. It took him a while to figure out what the right project would be for the technologies he was developing. He wanted a movie that would be big enough to justify the expense of doing it."
Which brings us to the sequels, "One of the fun things I got to do was sit in on these meetings with scientists and James Cameron, and they would talk about the whole world of Pandora. They were hammering out all these scientific details. They were compiling what would essentially be a whole Wikipedia that would be used for sequels. It is definitely on the minds of the people behind this project. They have gone to great lengths. One of the things I sat in on was them talking about some theoretical plots for sequels. Cameron hopes that this is a movie that does well enough that it is able to become a franchise."

Ha no spamming, the reason we all talk about Hitler is becasue he did a lot of bad things. He would kill any of us in a second, so count your blessings of what your gradfathers had to go through.
It was hellish and bruteful in so many ways, he considered himself as a god, I looked it up.
Hitler would have chopped off your man hood for saying that.
As I said before I'll wait until this is on dvd.

hahaha oh my goodness.. i love newkill for the joy and laughs he brings in my life...saw 3 a story?? a whole page on a story. read in between the lines idiot. it is not a page of story it is a page of an excuse for the studio to make a 3rd part when they were obviously running out of ideas.

I didn't say Saw 3 and up didn't have a story, I implied that the stories turned to convoluted nonsensical sh*t. Which is true.
I think it's pretty apparent at this point that Newkill is a loudmouth with lousy taste, and that he's little more than a moronic annoyance to most of the users here.
