James Cameron Wants AVATAR 2 To Focus More On Pandora’s Oceans. And There Will Be Other Planets

James Cameron was on ABC’s Nightline and revealed a few tidbits about AVATAR 2 which is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2014, which is a year after construction for AVATAR theme park would start at Walt Disney World.
But as far as the sequel goes, how can you top the first film which banked $2.782 Billion worldwide?! It’s quite a task, I can’t even imagine, but the following is what Cameron was willing to say about what he has planned..

“It’s on Pandora. Well, I’m really writing the second and third films together, so it completes a kinda three film story arc. And 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 it’s going to look spectacular.”

“Now it narrows the spotlight instead of just nature in general or the rainforest. It focuses it a little more on ocean issues, because we have a planet that’s a blue planet. From a distance, you look at it, the Earth is a lot more blue than it is, you know brown, the land mass. We’re making the oceans unsurvivable for a lot of the species right now. For a lot or reasons. It’s just a way to focus a little energy in that direction.”

“And there will be other planets as well, besides Pandora. It will be a cornucopia, a treat for the eyes,”

“I get to imagine things at a kind of fuzzy level and then I bring in a lot of great artists and they come up with all the amazing creatures and plants and that sort of thing.”

“I think it’s just a continuation of the same thing. I want people to feel that same sense of excitement about that world. You know, the fictional Na’vi people and I want them to feel that excitement of discovery of a new world that they’re going to see things that they haven’t imagined. 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.”

“I’m not going to become more strident. I’m not going to say, ‘well, we got away with this much environmental content in the first movie, now there’s double.’ Because I think that would be a mistake. It has to be entertainment first and foremost.”

CORNUCOPIA, huh?! Now that’s today’s vocab word for ya!
