It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything about James Cameron‘s upcoming “Avatar” sequels. Other than…they’d been delayed. Again. But thanks to a chat Cameron had with Entertainment Weekly, we know something new!
Apparently “Avatar 2” (not the official title) will take place 14 years after the original. Former human Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Na’Vi Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) have a family, and the plot apparently focuses on their preteen offspring.
“Ultimately, the sequels are a story about family, and the lengths parents will go through to keep that family together and keep them safe,” producer Jon Landau told EW. “I always say that Jim’s movies have universal themes — and really, there’s no more universal theme than family.”

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
