Film director James Cameron revealed this week that four more Avatar movies will be in the making to satisfy the hunger and quench the thirst of moviegoers as they can't get enough of the 2009 box-office hit Avatar.
The original Avatar still have the title for the all-time worldwide box office sales. The story conveys how human wants to permeate Na'vi, an alien civilization, through a Na'vi's body adoptation. Pandora is the planet where the Na'vis live which contains Unobtainium, a precious metal that humans want to mine. But instead of controlling the Na'vi into providing humans a gateway to mine the planet, the initial character established sympathies for the inhabitants creating the conflict, as reported by Ars Technica.
James Cameron pointed out that each of the four sequels can stand alone but will create a saga altogether. The original film released in 2009 generated $2.8 billion worldwide, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I've been working the last couple of years with a team of four top screenwriters," he said, "to design the world of Avatar going forward: the characters, the creatures, the environment, the new cultures.
"So far, the art I'm seeing is, in pure imagination, really far beyond the first film," he added. "It's going to be a true epic saga."
As Yahoo Movies cited, Avatar completed a gap for movie audiences that does not only exist anymore but is nearly overfilled with the possibility of new Star Wars movie every year, adding to a potential Star Trek or some other science fiction movies telling tales of inter-galactic indifferences.
For any franchise, revealing several sequels after just one installment, even one that stays the most progressive of all time in regards of the worldwide box office would be confident. But specifically for Avatar, it seems too risky.
The next Avatar movie will be released in 2018 followed by other sequels in December 2020, 2022 and 2023 respectively.
