Avatar Sequels Officially Begin Production in September

Speaking at 20th Century Fox’s presentation at the ongoing annual CineEurope gathering in Barcelona, Lightstorm Entertainment Jon Landau provided an update on when exactly the Avatar sequels will head into production. Stating that current schedule indicates they will get the ball rolling starting September 25, 2017, the executive appeased fans by explaining the complexities of building a sci-fi franchise like what Avatar is doing. He also gave a vote of confidence to Cameron saying that the director “has done a couple of sequels before in his career and I would argue that those sequels have lived up to, if not exceeded, the original movies.”

“At the heart of any movie are the characters. One of the strengths of great scripts are always the universal and relatable themes… There’s no more relatable theme than family. At the center of each of our four movies will be the Sully family. Each sequel will play as a stand-alone movie. Each movie’s story will come to its own conclusion… However, when looked at as a whole, the journey across all four movies will create an even larger connected epic saga for audiences around the world.”
