Yes, a sequel to the most successful movie ever, could be made, with the emphasis on the word ‘could’. According to producer Jon Landau, the sequel was always on the cards. He said that James Cameron and himself had agreed a long time ago that they would do a sequel if “Avatar” turned out to be successful.
But Landau said that Cameron would only do it if he found the right story. He also said that in the meantime they were considering several other options, namely a love story called “The Dive” and another movie titled “Fantastic Voyage”. However, he did not elaborate if the latter would be a remake of the 1966 movie of the same name. “Battle Angel Alita” is another movie on the cards and this one is about a young female Cyborg trying to discover herself.
Landau said that so far they haven’t decided which movie to go after, but that the decision would be made within six months. With all this uncertainty he did offer one piece of solid fact – whatever the movie, it will be in 3D. He also that all movies he would make from now on would be in 3D. “Why would we make a movie in black and white if we have color?” he said.
So now that 3D seems to firmly entrench in the movie industry, what’s next? Well, according to Landau the next big thing will be where the audience determines the path of the movie. Landau is of the opinion that this type of movie will give an audience member a different experience every time they go to watch the movie.
