'Avatar' sequels pushed back a year, James Cameron says

James Cameron's 'Avatar' sequels have been delayed a year, with the first now arriving in 2017

James Cameron's return trip to Pandora is taking a bit longer than originally planned. The release for the director's three "Avatar" sequels has been pushed back a year, with the first to arrive in late 2017, Cameron told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

Cameron is in pre-production on the sci-fi films, which he intends to shoot simultaneously in New Zealand and then release over consecutive years. Although the first sequel was to hit theaters in time for Christmas 2016, Cameron said that target was probably too ambitious given the intricacy of prepping three films at once.

"There's a layer of complexity in getting the story to work as a saga across three films that you don't get when you're making a standalone film," he told the AP. Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind the "Avatar" films, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Cameron's remarks. cComments

Although the delay might disappoint "Avatar" fans, the news isn't shocking given the scale of the project and Cameron's reputation as a perfectionist. His last two narrative films, "Avatar" and "Titanic," both saw their release dates pushed back and ended up faring pretty well. (They're the two highest-grossing movies of all time, and each was nominated for the best-picture Oscar, with "Titanic" winning).

Pushing back the first "Avatar" sequel does, however, leave Fox with a notable hole to fill during the popular end-of-the-year moviegoing season.

Read 40.
I was a 13b during my uniform days, go look up what that is.
We will wait.
Has nothing to do with “separating fantasy from reality” at all.
tIt has everything to do with moronic propaganda.
How about YOU grow up and pull your head out of your forpoints of contact?
That sand you have your head buried in must be grand.

There was one aspect of that movie that fascinated me; the part where a guy can have a ‘clone’ being run by his consciousness. If you think about it, your individual soul is running a machine known as your body, and as Christians we believe that even when the machine ceases to function, the soul continues to exist. But I agree that movie was disgustingly anti-military, impugning one of the last vestiges of American Honor residing in the vast majority of our courageous personnel.

What you are saying is exactly the same as:
“Leni Riefenstahl’s ‘Triumph of the Will’ is great entertainment, grow up!”
They were both puff propaganda pieces.

The only way to watch Avatar is with the sound off. Now Prometheus was good with the sound on. It actually challenged some of the brain dead.

All valid points and not one lost. Your service to our country is greatly appreaciated. If a movie was made depicting Jesus as gay. You and I both know that it BS. Just as I know the undertones regarding the military in Avatar was BS too.

You do have me though , because I would not go and see a gay Jesus movie. So point taken.

Please don’t act like a liberal and label anyone who disagrees with you. Why not instead act intelligent and explain my naïveity?

Proud to say I never paid to see this swill. I DID watch part of it at a friend’s house on a pirated satellite, which only confirmed that it’s garbage.

Oh really, go read what was said again...... You cannot be serious.

This is a free country. Contrary to the populace view, we are all not sheeple.

Regardless of what you think, I am American. I work for the US Air force and support our millitary in everyday I can. If you for a moment think that Avatars degrades in any way what the US Armed forces represent, then I am sorry. It is no different if a movie was made about a gay Jesus.

Nothing and I MEAN NOTHING!!! could ever take away from who JESUS really is. Not you me or any movie. We live in a FREE country and we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Avatar was aninmated fanticful movie, I enjoyed it for what it was. A movie. It did not ruin my day, because of the undertones or might or might not have been making. It was nothing more than images on a screen with words and music.

IT WAS NOT REAL!!!!. And I CHOSE not to make it so and I am damn free to do so.

Perhaps it is you who has some growing up to do?

Yes, but he is saying one thing to you, and a diametrically opposed statement to me.

Read your post 48.
Perhaps you’d be right if you hadn’t tossed that out first.
So quit whining.

So hard to converse with someone who only accuses and then hides.

Are you a liberal in disguise? I see no attempt at resolution. Just another childish outburst.

Post 48 is DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED to post 47.
Look up the capitalized words, I will wait.
I was a 13B when I was in uniform, I know all about waiting.
