'Avatar' Sequels Filming Begins 2013

On a talk with The West Australian, writer-director James Cameron said that he is in good faith that Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will make film revolution. He made comparison of Jackson's The Lord of the Rings prequel-trilogy to his own movie Avatar, remaining strong as the top grossing movie of all time. He adds that The Hobbit will do for high-def filmmaking as what he did with Avatar. "If there is acceptance of 48 (FPS), then that will pave the way for Avatar (sequels) to take advantage of it," Cameron said.

Avatar arguably is a very good movie; something meant to be viewed in the big screen for the world it has created, and the visuals that it uses. Cameron is currently in New Zealand, at work for the scripts of the two sequels for the blockbuster, attended Jackson's premiere. He says that he intend on finishing the two scripts by the end of February next year, and commence filming for the pair of movies later in the same year.

"I want to get these scripts nailed down, I don't want to be writing the movie in post production," he said. "We kind of did that on the first picture, I ended up cutting out a lot of scenes and so on and I don't want to do that again."

Everything is practically under wraps, but it's already been said that Cameron is intent on writing about the underwater life in Pandora. Check back for more Avatar news, as we're posting as details emerge.
