Making a 3D film requires time, money, special equipment and advancedtechnology. This was already apparent in the original Avatar , with whichCameron first brought a 3D production to a large audience in 2009. Itsproduction lasted four years. But the second part Avatar: The Way of Water ,should have been completed two years ago. In his own words, Cameron only hadto “dot the i’s”.
Cameron is also the director of the second part, but now gets help.Cameron wrote the first film on his own, but a team has been appointed for thefour sequels. Josh Friedman was the first to the rescue and is co-author of_Avatar 2_.
There are three more sequels to come. The shooting of the films got mixedup, which made the production of Avatar 2 delayed. The sequels can bewatched separately. They follow each other every other year, until the releaseof (the presumably last part) Avatar 5 in 2028.
The titles of the other sequels are according to the BBC also known. Itwon’t be Avatar 3, 4 and 5, but Avatar: The Seed Bearer , Avatar: TheTulkun Rider and Avatar: The Quest for Eywa.
The teaser of Avatar: The Way of Water is out, but keeps the plot vague.There is virtually no dialogue. The video shows not so much what happens inthe film, but more what it looks like. Like the underwater scenes, whichCameron actually shot underwater.

OonaChaplin, previously in _Game of Thrones played, makes her appearance asVarang in this film. Her role is still unclear.
The release for Avatar: The Way of Water is scheduled for December 16.The film was often delayed, partly because of the extensive writing processand the making of the other sequels. But the many wanderings during productiondid not scare Cameron.
Against CNN he said, “There were seven years between The Terminator and_Terminator 2: Judgment Day_. In front of Avatar Is that going to be a10-year gap,” Cameron admits. “But you’re going to Avatar 2 with thecertainty that three more films will come after it. That’s a very differentexperience. That justifies a lot of the delay.”
