Avatar sequels goes into ‘whole new areas’

Recently, the 66-year-old filmmaker, James Cameron discussed Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, during the episode of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

When asked how he can top Avatar, the highest-grossing film of all time, Cameron jokingly said he cries at the prospect.

“I cry. I just sit here at my desk and I cry, because there’s no way,” he said. “It’s just too much pressure, dude, you know?”

More seriously, Cameron said the sequels will stay true to the original 2009 movie, while taking viewers in a new direction.

“No, look, we just try to be kind of true to what people loved about the first film and take it into, you know, whole new areas, like a lot of our scenes are in the ocean. And so, I’m combining things that I love, like making Avatar and going into the ocean.” he said.

The sequels started production in New Zealand in June 2020.
