There May Be 4 Avatar Sequels on the Way
It's unclear if this is just a development-phase act of editing down a wealth of material, or if there is actually a serious consideration of transforming the Avatar sequel trilogy into an Avatar sequel quadrilogy, or if maybe the fourth script is an exciting prequel-spinoff Avatar Anthology Unobtanium Rising. When I spoke to Avatar sequel writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver last year, they described the process of writing the movies with the Avatar brain trust which includes Cameron and fellow writers Josh Friedman and Shane Salernoan initial lengthy process of brainstorming the master story, at which point different writers broke off to work on specific films. On one hand Information is still scarce about Avatar, and even Horner seems to think Cameron just wants to make three movies. One the other hand We live in a world where The Hobbit became a trilogy and every disappointing YA finale gets adapted into two movies. So why not Avatar 5? As long as they get Leona Lewis to do the theme song. Remember Leona Lewis? Remember Avatar? Ah, to be young again!
