No, I am not. Are you? If so, post the link. If not, then I'll believe they're spending $333M per movie once we get actual news other than 3 dates.

 

You cannot read the article if you re not a subscriber, posting a link won't resolve anything.

Of course, it is basicaaly one big film divided in 3, a la LOTR.

 

The scope & scale are gonna be gigantic ...

I don't think it'll be one film divided into 3. Awhile back Cameron said that they would be self-contained stories to avoid the Matrix sequel pitfalls. I assume it'll play more like a saga, following different characters on different worlds but within a shared universe. Probably why each film will have different co-writers.

2, 3 and 4?  Why not just stop at 2 and 3 and make it a trilogy? Also this is new territory for James.  He's never done a Part 3.  I think Dec 2016 makes sense if he's really shooting 3 sequels.  Dec 2015 is 2 years from now.  3 years makes more sense.

Catching up with all the news today:

 

Good on Sam Worthington. Dude is an unpretentious guy and has never put on airs about being some significant ACTOR. I'm glad that if he never makes another movie again, he's basically set for life.

 

Multiple writers for the various sequels? I'm not bothered or concerned at all... I'm reading "The Futurist" right now (which I'm sure at least some of you have already read) and working methodically with other writers has often been Cameron's modus operandi. When he and Bill Wisher were working on T2 they basically split the outline in half and then swapped and rewrote each other's halves when they were done. It's not like Cameron doesn't have a detailed scriptment for his whole story at this point anyway. In Cameron I trust. Dude knows what he's doing and who can help him out, far more than any of us.

 

I'm mildly surprised to see a fourth movie confirmed -- not in a good way or bad way, just surprised. Again, though, doing all three simultaneously doesn't bother me. Jackson has already established a good flow for shooting trilogies (break up your production shoot days into several blocks and use the down-time in between for editing and post-production while giving the production team a chance to catch their breath). And shooting movies that are mostly mo-cap really blurs the line between production and post-production anyway.

I am a good read.

Good post and i agree with the Sam Worthington bit, he gets tons of hate for no reason and people should read up on his history and see where he was before he got the AVATAR call. Its not his fault Hollywood picked him for all these big films and he's supposed to be a great guy off camera so people should cut him some slack.

Looks like Disney has lucked out! Avatar sequel coming out 2016, which means Avengers 2 and Star Wars 7 can make maximum money in 2015! :wub:

 

You and BKB. A movie released in May won't affect a movie in December or vice versa.

Fish you wanna translate that last one?

 

Sam Worthington is cool.

 

Aaron Taylor Johnson is a charisma vacuum. He knocks up old women and marries them. He plays a character named Vronski in Anna Karenina, directed by Joe Wright, and was per Fishnets, horrible and far worse than anything Sam Worthington has ever done, and that includes Clash of the Titans. This is a bad thing.

AT-J wasn't horrible in AK only per me. Critics panned his perforemnce like there's no tomorrow as did arbiters of good taste Awards Daily Forums now known as AwardsWatch. His perf was universally loathed.

 

And his wife who could be his mom is directing 50 Shades of Grey which is totally fitting that a cougar who banged barely legal (and most likely once illegal) guy directs a mommy porn.
