"Avatar" is set to receive four sequels, according to creator James Cameron.
导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆透露，《阿凡达》将拍摄四部续集。
The "
Titanic1" director announced the expansion of the
franchise2 at CinemaCon. He confirmed his plans to release four new "Avatar" movies over the course of the next seven years with each
installment3 intended to
debut4 around Christmas of 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2023.
"We're making four
epic5 ['Avatar'] films that stand alone but together form a
saga6. These movies were designed to be seen in theaters first," he told the audience.
"I've been working with the top four screenwriters and designers in the world to design the world of 'Avatar' going forward," he continued. "The environments, new cultures — whatever it takes to bring it to life."
Zoe Saldana most likely had a similar reaction after learning she'll be speaking Na'vi into her 40s.
Cameron originally intended to only make two sequels to the 2009 fantasy epic, which
garnered7 immense critical and commercial
acclaim8 upon its release, as well as pioneering new technologies in filmmaking.
"There is too much story and visionary ideas for two sequels," Cameron said, via The Wall Street Journal. "So we talked to Fox and expanded it to three sequels. Now that the script work is finishing up, it's not three. It looks like four. So after talking it through with our partners at Fox and giving it a lot of thought, we
decided9 to
embark10 on a truly massive cinematic project."
