James Cameron May Visit Other Moons in Avatar Sequel
Posted 12.29.09 by BrentJS
Even with a budget rumored to be as high as $430 million, James Cameron's Avatar is already a success after less than two weeks at the box office. The most recent totals put the movie's take at $213 million domestically and $410 million internationally, for a total of $623 million after just 10 days. With numbers like that this soon after its release, an Avatar sequel seems almost inevitable.
In a recent interview with the L.A. Times, Cameron was asked about the possibility of exploring some of the other heavenly bodies glimpsed in Avatar for a sequel and he joked, "I don't even want to think about this movie right now, to tell you the truth." However, Cameron did admit that some of the other moons conceptualized for Avatar could provide source material for a possible future story.
Well, we've mapped out the ... the planet in the sky in Pandora's sky is called Polyphemus, and it's the primary for a system of moons, just like in our solar system Jupiter has 50-some moons — they're still discovering smaller ones all of the time. Yeah, you know, we have some story ideas for how to branch out into other moons of the Polyphemus and the Alpha Centauri A solar system.
