7yrs later and still no Avatar 2...

Is it wise for Cameron The Great to wait so long to release the next installment(s)? I mean, what are we looking at maybe the year 2020+? Yes, Avatar was a Box Office Juggernaut but will the Fan-base remain after a 13-15yr Gap between sequels? A 5yr gap is fine, but a 10yr(plus) gap is pushing it...

I do not think he should. Avatar seems to be a fluke of great timing. What it has was a visual style that was unlike anything seen before. I do not believe he can come even close to repeating that.

I'm just fine with that...Avatar was extremely over-rated. It was much better when it was called Dances With Wolves. I'm with EmmaMcG...I'd rather see True Lies 2 anyday! That movie was at least fun, and it never stooped to offend our intellect with things like "Unobtanium" (Really, Cameron? That was the best you could come up with? Was "Reallyrarium" or "Hardtogetium" already taken?). Avatar was all spectacle, with a beat-you-over-the-head-with-it message.

I agree with the masses, I'd Love to see True Lies 2.....I watch that flick everytime it's played...It made $400-Million.....Once again Cameron's Production company decided not to do a sequel...When his flicks make a ton of money he says "Fuck it, I'll relax for 5yrs and Direct/Produce whatever & whenever I wanna"...

It's hard to argue with that. Its not like he needs the money.

Just a thought on Avatar 2. Wouldn't it be cool if Schwarzenegger was in it as an old army guy but when he gets into his Avatar body he's this big, muscle bound blue alien.

Yep, Arnold should have been in the 1st Avatar flick, but I get that he wanted the new-faces to shine...Tom Hardy would make a great villain..

Whatever technology they use to capture the faces is cool. The Sigourney Weaver Avatar was scarily realistic. I'd like to see other actors with distinctive faces in the next one. Someone like Willem Dafoe or Hugo Weaving.

Rodeo, i really thought we'd see an ET 2 too. I guess at this point they all figure why bother, but I was expecting one and it never came. ET is such a fun movie.

If you ever heard Spielberg's plan for the sequel, you might be glad it was never made...

Some times they make a sequel..............and don't call it one.

Have you seen the movie The Score? It was, what I call part II of Heat, if De Niro hadn't got killed at the end.

I wondered about that last week. I heard it was supposed to be a trilogy. At this rate I'll be in a nursing home gumming my soup by the time the 3rd one comes out. It'll be in live action 3D theatre in the round, because screens will be long outdated.

We're NOT getting an E.T. 2 but we're gonna get a 5th Fucked up Indiana Jones flick...I Love Harrison, he's my Boy but Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was GARBAGE...I like Shia (with his self-absorbed, Publicity Loving-Retarded azz) but his presence could not save the flick....So what does Spielberg have planned, a 5th Flick that continues the Father/Son thing? I'll change my mind if Sir Sean Connery comes out of retirement...Sean is worth $350-Million so he aint thinking about movie-sets..
