Tarikh Tayangan Avatar 2 Ditunda
Nampaknya pembikinan filem kedua Avatar mengalami sedikit masalah apabila pengarah filem berkenaan, James Cameron mengesahkan bahawa mereka tidak dapat untuk mencapai target tayangan filem berkenaan. James berkata kepada laman web The Star mengenai kelewatan tersebut: “Well, 2018 is not happening. We haven’t announced a firm release date. What people have to understand is that this is a cadence of releases. So we’re not making Avatar 2. We’re making Avatar 2, 3, 4 and 5. It’s an epic undertaking. It’s not unlike building the Three Gorges dam. (Laughs) So I know where I’m going to be for the next eight years of my life. It’s not an unreasonable time frame if you think about it. It took us four-and-a-half years to make one movie and now we’re making four. We’re full tilt boogie right now. This is my day job and pretty soon we’ll be 24-7. We’re pretty well designed on all our creatures and sets. It’s pretty exciting stuff. I wish I could share with the world. But we have to preserve a certain amount of showmanship and we’re going to draw that curtain when the time is right.” “Well, 2018 is not happening. We haven’t announced a firm release date.
