James Cameron Says In Sci-Fi You’re Never Dead. Talks AVATAR Theme Park At Disney World

Last month, Sigourney Weaver insisted that her character in James Cameron‘s Avatar movie, Dr. Grace SPOILER ALERT who died in the first film, would return for the sequels and her argument was “no one ever dies in science fiction”
Vulture asked Cameron if indeed Weaver was set to show up again in AVATAR 2 and AVATAR 3..

Did I say she was going to be in Avatar 2? [Grins.]

Well, I don’t want to disabuse her of that fantasy. But have you ever heard of nonlinear storytelling? A lot happens on that planet before she shows up, and before Jake shows up to join her. She’s there for fifteen years ahead of time. I don’t know, but I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. And I’ve already said way too much about Avatar 2 and 3 here and there, but people piece it together like those voice cameos and tell the whole story!

Okay, here’s the deal. When you have a science-fiction series, a science-fiction franchise, you’re never dead, unless your DNA is expunged from the universe. And then there’s always time travel!

Good point there, Cameron!
It was cool meeting you back in January at the press day for SANCTUM by the way.
but my question is.. if the first Avatar was like watching Fern Gully, Pocahontas meets Dances With Wolves, which other story or movie in the past that you’re going to copy this time for AVATAR 2 and AVATAR 3? Ha!

And one of the biggest and most epic movie info that arrived this past year was that Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide in collaboration with Fox Film Entertainment and James Cameron are bringing Pandora to bring Walt Disney theme parks, starting with Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.
Constructions will start in 2013 and then they’re going to continue building more AVATAR attractions at other Disney’s theme parks
When asked about their plan and what the fans could anticipate, Cameron said the following..

We’re going to meet and discuss it. They have big plans for it. They want to do a land, a number of different attractions, maybe a flight attraction, and retail outlets, things like that, make a whole environment of it, a themed experience. You would feel like you’re on Pandora. So I think my job and what I look forward to doing is making sure it’s consistent with Na’vi culture, with the themes and values of Avatar, and the next films as well. And they seem very open to that.

AVATAR 2 arrives in 2014 and AVATAR 3 arrives in 2015
