Fans of Reddit learned some interesting new details about the upcoming Avatar sequels from director and writer James Cameron himself. The news broke on Saturday, April 12 that Cameron will be writing all of the sequels for Avatar within six weeks.
Reddit often hosts an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A event and this week Cameron took part. He posted on the site that he would be writing the sequels himself and at a very fast pace.
“The second, third and fourth films all go into production simultaneously. They’re essentially all in pre-production now because we are designing creatures, settings and characters that span all three films. And we should be finished with all three scripts within the next, I would say, six weeks," wrote Cameron.
Cameron wrote the script for Avatar himself, Variety reported, but he will have help on the sequels. Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Shane Salerno are listed as collaborators on the upcoming projects.
