James Cameron Announces Four Sequels to 'Avatar' (egyptindependent.com)

An anonymous reader writes: In a surprise appearance at CinemaCon, James Cameron announced plans for "a truly massive cinematic process" -- four new sequels to his 2009 blockbuster Avatar, plus a Disney theme park. "It's going to be a true epic saga," Cameron told the audience, promising that Avatar 2 would be released in Christmas of 2018, followed by three additional sequels, for a total of five Avatar-themed movies. Cameron's original sci-fi blockbuster earned $2.8 billion, though at least one Slashdot user argued that its overall message was that technology is bad, "strange because the movie is among most technically sophisticated ever."

The King of sequels by fuzzyf · 2016-04-17 10:18 · Score: 4, Informative

James Cameron is one of my favorite directors.

The sequal to The Terminator and Alien are the best sequels out there IMHO.
He managed to create really good sequels in a time where sequels where only made to sell lunchboxes and stuff.
