Worthington: Avatar Filming A Long Way Off

Sam Worthington has been speaking to NovaFM about the progress of the next three movies in the Avatar franchise.

James Cameron has been working on the sequels to the phenomenally successful original pretty much since the first was released, but the series' star says that filming is still a long way from beginning.

"They are still writing it," Worthington said, before jokingly adding, "I think Jim is building the ship to Pandora, to be honest. We are going to start this time next year and we will do two, three and four. In one shoot, we'll do them simultaneously."

Perhaps worryingly for Cameron, Worthington finished by saying: "I'll be grateful if it finishes", implying that the actor perhaps isn't as confident in the massive scope of the project as the director.



Avatar 2 was previously rumoured to be courting Arnie for a villain role, but that seems to have fizzled out. A pity, really - who didn't want to hear Arnie's one-lines in this franchise?

"What's da mattah? Feeling BLUE?!"

Avatar 2 is currently scheduled for December 2016, with the following films releasing in December 2017 and 18.
