Coming in the year 2065...

Haven't AVATAR 2 and 3 been shot (to the extent these things can be "shot") already? It feels like the casting announcement was about two full years ago at this point.

And now still another 2+ years before release? I wonder if this is something Cameron asked for or something imposed on him by Fox's new ownership.

I remember a time when AVATAR 2 had an announced release date of 2015.

Nope! Reportedly motion capture has but none of the live action (let alone CGI).

 

[belloq87]

Well, then. Still feels like it's been in production forever.

There was 12 years between Titanic and Avatar. Now 12 years between Avatar and Avatar 2. Cameron seems to be creating a pattern.

Yeah, I kind of remember it was supposed to synergy with a much earlier opening of Pandora. Both pushed back considerably and nowhere near in synergy.

Ugh this is ridiculous.

The fact that live action hasn’t been done is pretty crazy, but they did make casting announcements for Avatar 2 recently so I guess that makes sense now.

Basically looks like Disney wants to own December, alternating between Star Wars and Avatar. Problem is, I’m not sure exactly how much audiences are gonna care about a Star Wars fan fiction trilogy or Avatar sequels. I think Avatar 2 will do well, but after that, if the movies aren’t good, they could be in a world of hurt.

Placing bets now that after Avatar 2 the rest are a miniseries on Disney+

I think they’ll at least finish out the trilogy, since, ya know, they’ll have made the movie. Gotta recoup the investment in whatever way possible.

Aren't they filing 2 and 3 back to back? They'd probably not go back to shoot 4 and 5, but they'll release the one they are already filming.

What makes you think Star Wars will be fab fiction? And I think people will care either way.

I was being facetious mostly about the fan fiction thing, but it won’t have the nostalgia built into it that the Skywalker saga has.

I think the Rian Johnson trilogy could be interesting though. I’d be more worried about Avatar if I was Disney, certainly.

Of course the key phrase there was "last day of filming in 2019". The account clarified in the replies that they will be back in New Zealand in 2020 for more filming.

If it were a game and these were new levels you could unlock, sure. But this..

Lucky you, there IS a game coming!

Ubisoft is making a new game based on James Cameron’s Avatar - The Verge

But I agree, this concept art makes me think more of a video game than a movie. Granted, it’s concept art of a *highly* CGI-ed film so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Reminds me of FOP.
