“Avatar” went on to make a worldwide box office haul of $2.7 billion, the all-time highest gross record for a film, and about half of the figure actually came from the US.
The pressure is really on for James Cameron to either match or surpass the record, which is obviously a very tough act to follow.
But instead of being pressured, Cameron is taking his own pace in the production of the movie, which will reportedly be filmed along with the two other sequels, “Avatar 3” and “Avatar 4.”
Apart from a very exciting story for “Avatar 2,” Cameron is said to be banking on all possible available technologies to be used in the film, including an increased frame rate and motion-capture technology similar to the ones being used in video games.
In fact, Cameron and the production team are actually doing something like a video game already with “Avatar 2” and are thus becoming more like game developers themselves. Game development, as everyone knows, takes a lot of time because of all the computerized technologies needed to put everything together.
The pre-production work for the sequel to the world’s biggest grossing film of all time “Avatar” was shocked by the news that the film’s music composer James Horner died in a plane crash in June.
