" Avatar 2 " in 2015

John Landau previously predicted that audiences would not be seeing an "Avatar 2" till a minimum of 2015, James Cameron has currently seemingly confirmed it during a recent big apple Times profile.

"The 'Avatar' sequels, Mr. Cameron said, can virtually definitely be shot in Mr. Jackson’s Wellington production studio, concerning quarter-hour by helicopter from Pounui," writes the newspaper of Cameron's plans to base the assembly in New Zealand, that "Hobbit" director Peter Jackson has virtually single-handedly reworked into a go-to destination for filmmakers. "Visual effects are going to be completed at nearby Weta Digital, owned by Mr. Jackson and his partners, though motion-capture work on the 'Avatar' sequels can still be done on a stage in California. 'Avatar 2' won't be prepared till 2015 or later, a minimum of a year past the 2014 date Fox executives once had in mind."



Pounui, in case you were wondering, could be a New Zealand city close to that Cameron has (controversially) spent an estimated $16 million shopping for up a pair of,500 acres of farmland which will double as Pandora within the upcoming sequels, a minimum of 2 of that Cameron can allegedly be shooting back-to-back (the potential for a 3rd sequel has been teased however not nevertheless confirmed by the filmmaker). As noted on top of, the motion-capture (often stated as "performance capture") work thus integral to the films can still be shot on a California soundstage, because it was for the primary movie.

Nevertheless, do not expect production to ramp up anytime within the close to future, as Cameron continues to be within the scripting stages - though he will arrange on relocating to Pounui together with his family this fall to urge them acclimated to what's going to become their new home for a minimum of a part of the year.

Peter Jackson, for his half, is simply happy to own a number of the pressure off - with Cameron around to carry down the fort, he insinuates, perhaps he will truly relax for awhile once finishing production on what he recently confirmed as his trilogy of "Hobbit" films.

“Maybe I will go wander away on a beach somewhere currently,” he told the days with a smile (we'll assume he was joking). Indeed, is it even rational to recommend that Peter Jackson of all individuals would lie around dormant whereas his fellow director establishes his own large filmmaking operation in his home country? consistent with Cameron, he needn't worry.

“I’m not there to compete with Peter," he said.
