Cameron Gives Avatar 2 and 3 Release Dates

Director James Cameron announced that Avatar 2 will be released Christmas 2014 with Avatar 3 being released Christmas 2015. Sounds way to far away.

Cameron told Entertainment Weekly "I am in the process of writing the next two ‘Avatar’ films now. We are planning to shoot them together and [edit them in post-production] together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart.” That is actually the smartest thing to do with sequels. You will get the most money with them spaced out about a year.

Also, when asked about characters returning from the first one, he said “Basically, if you survived the first film, you get to be in the second film, at least in some form.” So, does that mean we will see Sigourney Weaver back?

Producer Jon Landau confirmed the earlier rumors that Avatar 2 will be mostly set in the Ocean, but not a full underwater movie. If it was an underwater movie, I would guess it to be like Cameron's The Abyss. 

The best news is the second film will not end in a cliffhanger like previous back-to-back sequels have done so over and over. Thank god. 

Avatar 2 will be released Christmas 2014 and Avatar 3 release will be Christmas 2015

Daily Movie News

• Hopefully third time is the charm for Warner Bros. because they moved the release date of The Losers once again to April 23rd. The original release date was April 9th then moved to June 4th. Warner Bros. must be feeling scared for the success of this adaptation.

• The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will have its first trailer released in March; in theaters attached to Remember Me starring Twilight star Robert Pattinson. So, all of you Twilight fans can freakout now and go make this movie huge just to see a short trailer.

• Acclaimed director James Cameron (Avatar, The Terminator) is consulting Marc Webb with the production of the spider-man reboot. He says it's not about characters or direction, but use of his revolutionary 3D technology Cameron used for Avatar. This could end up being awesome.

• The L.A. Times is reporting that Universal Pictures is rebooting the American Pie series for theatrical release. Universal has declined to comment on the reports at the moment, this most likely means it's true. Also, they are reporting that some of the original cast is interested in returning. I can't wait to see more on this later.

• Creator Joss Whedon (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Firefly) and Morgan Spurlock (Super-Size Me) are rumored to be working together on a Comic-Con based documentary around the fan culture at the huge event. They are looking for people to follow for 3 months leading up to Con and during it. This could be interesting because Super-Size Me made me never want to eat McDonalds again. I have been McD-free for about 10 years and the film gave strength go on. Comic-Con could be good this year, although last year was a blast. 

• NBC is looking to resurrect Steven Spielberg's supernatural series Nine Lives. The series was originally written for SyFy about 3 years ago, but they never did anything with it. NBC is rewriting some aspects of it to appeal to a broader audience. I would watch this show just because Steven Spielberg created it. Do the 12 hour mini-series NBC. Do it

Avatar Sinks Titanic

James Cameron's Avatar has officially passed Cameron's last film Titanic to become the Highest Grossing Film of All-Time. That is a major record-breaker because the record has been standing for over 12 years.
 James Cameron must feel a sense of accomplishment because he has two of the Highest Grossing Films of All-Time with one still earning more. The Titanic had a total box-office of $1,843,201,268 and Avatar has passed that with $1,858,866,889. Avatar is history in the making for movies and technology.
 Avatar still has many weeks left in theaters to gross more. The only other major record it has to break is Highest Grossing Film Domestically because Titanic still hold that record (for now) with $600,788,188 and Avatar after just 39 days has passed $554,981,691. I will say it, Avatar will beat that record and then some.

 I cant wait to see what it will do when released on Home Video.

Avatar Review

  Avatar is the newest epic action/adventure film to be released. Directed by the legendary James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, and Giovanni Ribisi.

Avatar has been in some form of production since 1994 and progressed to what you see today in 2009. The reason it was in production for about 15 years is because the massive cost and lack of special effects evolution. Cameron worked to even create a new camera technology just for Avatar and future use. Finally, he was able to finish his vision and be his first feature film since Titanic in 1997.

  I am a huge fan of Cameron since I have seen The Terminator 2 when I was around 5 years old. I know that might seem a little young to watch that work of art, but I fell in love with the idea of a unstoppable robot trying to kill you. Since then, I have seen every film he has made and fell in love with them also. I have even seen his student-film Xenogenesis, which isn't too bad. I was going to wait in line at Comic-Con for hours just to see 25 minutes of Avatar footage.

  Avatar is a spectacular visual film and not a bad plot either. The thing that makes Avatar huge is its special effects. They incorporate the most stunning photorealistic effects I've ever seen in my life. Most of the time in movies you can tell that the character interaction with a cg figure is awkward at the least. Cameron made easily the most convincing  interactions with human and cg ever. I searched for flaws in the natives and jungle background of Pandora, I found nothing that wasn't convincing and was in shock because of this. The animals are beautifully designed and realistic, along with a amazing jungle with it's vivid color scheme and photorealistic backdrop. I know some will say the planet looked to fake because of the unnatural colors, but thats because cameron was going for a bright dream planet that I say took full effect  of the film and we are not used to seeing something of this nature, so we categorize it as fake looking. The only problem with the film is the same as most films is the plot. The plot is unique and cool, but panned out like any other epic sci-fi film. The film was predictable in most scenes and you could predict the end about halfway through and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It payed off with the astounding action with the beautiful score by the Cameron favorite James Horner. To see the film to the full effect of what it was intended, you should see it in 3D because its not a gimmick. You are immersed into the world of Pandora. I have seen it twice in 3 days and was in heaven of enriched special effects. You have to see this film in theaters and in 3D. Don't wait for DVD and Blu-ray to watch it.

  I give the film based on just the plot around 85 out of 100. Although, including the groundbreaking and revolutionary special effects I give it a strong 97 out of 100.
