James Cameron never fails to go for the gusto with his movie projects, so although it came as a surprise earlier this year when the news broke that Cameron intends to make three Avatar sequels back-to-back-to-back – rather than two followups, as was reportedly the original plan – it didn’t exactly rock the industry or shock movie lovers around the world. (At least, not anymore than when Peter Jackson decided to turn The Hobbit into a trilogy after principal photography had wrapped – to cite an appropriate example for comparison.)
The second installment in the planned Avatar quadrilogy is expected to reach theaters by 2016, which is a year later than the film was originally slated to arrive. Leading man-turned-Na’vi Sam Worthington has lent further credibility to the new theatrical date, by revealing the expected start date for production on Avatar 2, followed thereafter by Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 (official subtitles – or lack thereof – TBD).
