And, to be honest, I don\u2019t blame him working on what he has invented, especially after being a huge success at the box office. Avatar (2009) grossed over $2 billion worldwide. &#8211; Based on the reports, after the success of Avatar, Cameron also announced that he was planning to shoot Avatar 2 and 3 back to back and release the sequels a year apart.<\/p>\n<p>Today, news broke by Fox that director Cameron has enlisted the help of four screenwriters so they can collaborate with him on the screenplays for not 2, but 3 more Avatar films. The first sequel, as Fox put it, is scheduled to hit the screens in 2016. Avatar 3 in 2017 and Avatar 4 in 2018, respectively. Screenwriters are Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds), Amanda Silver &#038; Rick Jaffa (Rise of the Planet of Apes) and Shane Salerno (Savages). Production is set to begin next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cameron, regarding the recent news, stated:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Building upon the world we created with Avatar has been a rare and incredibly rewarding experience. In writing the new films, I&#8217;ve come to realize that Avatar&#8217;s world, story and characters have become even richer than I anticipated, and it became apparent that two films would not be enough to capture everything I wanted to put on screen. And to help me continue to expand this universe, I&#8217;m pleased to bring aboard Amanda, Rick, Shane and Josh &#8211; all writers I&#8217;ve long admired -\u00ad to join me in completing the films screenplays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Cameron was telling the truth that he is in Avatar business. It&#8217;s certainly a rich world that I, for one, would love to visit again. Avatar didn&#8217;t only have its stunning action sequences and great music, but it&#8217;s just, even today, a beautiful looking motion picture.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know what you think. Are you guys excited to see three more Avatar films?<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franchisemart.in%2Ffranchise%2Favatar-franchise-expands-to-three-sequels%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A year ago, director James Cameron announced that he is in the Avatar business.
