"They're essentially all in pre-production now because we are designing creatures, settings and characters that span all three films. And we should be finished with all three scripts within the next, I would say, six weeks," said Cameron.
With the final scripts finished, it seems that there's no turning back on some sort of revival for Dr. Grace Augustine, played by Sigourney Weaver! She has confirmed casting in all three of the sequel films, and only lightly hinted at her character's future, despite our original belief that she had died for good.
"I can't talk about it, but my part is a little different in each one. I'll transform somewhat," said Weaver.
It has also been confirmed that filming should begin this December in New Zealand. Well, since December is mid-summer for New Zealand, it looks like there's no hope for any Pandoran polar bears, penguins, and mammoths.. or is there? Filming for 3 extremely long movies could last well into this time next year. There's no guarantee for a snow biome, but according to Cameron we can definitely expect some marine life!
"We're doing 'Avatar' films now, so we're making up an ocean ecosystem for Pandora," Cameron made this statement close to the initial announcement for the sequels, so one could expect this has been a starting concept since the beginning of the movie. Surely with James Cameron's genius ideas, we could end up seeing some awesome twists on earthly biomes: blue molten volcanoes, desert, storms, the possibilities really are endless and exciting!
