We knew when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox that they’d likely be shuffling up their release date calendar, and today that announcement came.

It’s been nearly nine years since a James Cameron film graced cinemas (2009’s Avatar), the longest stretch since the auteur blasted onto the scene and forever changed the science fiction landscape with The Terminator.

James Cameron Says if ‘Avatar’ 2 and 3 Flop There Won’t Be ‘Avatar’ 4 and 5!!!

‘Avatar 2’ 2018 Release “Not Happening”, Says James Cameron!!!

James Cameron Confirms ‘Avatar’ Sequel Scripts Are Finished & Begin Filming in August!!!

There are plenty of reasons to not take James Cameron seriously. He’s known for having a pretty enormous ego and his films, though often breathtaking to watch, are consistently betrayed by hokey, uncomplicated writing in his screenplays.

James Cameron Announces Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels!!

The Avatar sequels have become their own punchline.

Perhaps if they had kept on their original timetable, or if James Cameron played by normal franchise rules (non-stop tie-ins, merchandising, etc.) it would … Continue reading James Cameron Announces Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels!!
