Avatar 2 Release Date: James Cameron's Next Epic Won't Come Until 2016
1/11/12


James Cameron is currently planning Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, but don't expect to see them anytime soon.

When Entertainment Weekly first spoke with Cameron at the beginning of 2011, the director said he wanted to release the sequels on Christmas Day in 2014 and 2015, respectively -- two dates that are certainly not around the corner.

According to the film's producer Jon Landau, though, Avatar 2 won't be ready for another four years. Meaning 2016.





Landau told the news to Bleeding Cool, at a screening for Cameron's other blockbuster film, Titanic 3D (which is hitting theaters this April). The tentative 2016 release means that all the blue paint you've been hoarding for your Na'avi costume for opening night of Avatar 2 will have to sit there just a little longer.

While plot details for the sequel are still sketchy at best, Cameron has dropped some hints. He told ABC's "Nightline" back in October, "We will see the oceans of Pandora ... which we haven't seen at all, and that's an ecosystem that I'm dying to start designing because its going to look spectacular ... All that sort of the perk package of the first movie is still going to be there. And the themes will be there and be played out in a way that I think people can accept."

Avatar 2 Delayed Until at Least 2015, Says Jon Landau
4/5/2012

James Cameron’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to Avatar is going to be delayed until at least 2015, producer Jon Landau said Thursday. Contrary to previous statements that indicated Avatar 2 would arrive in theaters in December 2014 and Avatar 3 would follow in 2015, Landau revealed that the first of two proposed sequels probably won’t be ready within the next two years.

"We're not naming dates, but I think 2014 will be a tough date for us to make," Landau told Empire. "It's about getting it right … movies make release dates; release dates don't make movies."

Possible reasons for a delay include Cameron spending time with his recent dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench and his overseeing of the 3D conversion of Titanic.





Although Landau and Cameron outlined a release schedule for the two films, neither committed to specific release dates. Regardless, despite the fact that Cameron plans to shoot Avatar 2 and 3 back to back, Landau also insisted that each of the films will – and must – stand alone.

"That's where movies fall into trouble – when they try to say: 'You know what? It's really one movie and there's an intermission' – so we want each one to be a stand-alone movie."

"The next one will kick off where the last one ended," he said. "But just like 'Avatar' resolved itself and doesn't feel like a setup to another movie, you don't want 'Avatar 2' to feel like a setup for '3'."
