James Cameron Says 'Avatar' Sequel Delayed Until 2017

If you're a big fan of the movie 'Avatar,' well, you'll have to wait a little longer for a sequel. Director James Cameron says that writing three 'Avatar' sequels is such a complex job he's delaying the first new film a year and it will now be released in late 2017. Cameron plans to film the highly-anticipated sequels at one time and then release the three films over consecutive years. Cameron says the goal was to have the scripts for the three movies completed by the end of this month. He's leading a team that's writing the screenplays. Released in 2009, 'Avatar' became the highest-grossing film in history, with a box office take of nearly $2.8 billion. It also won three Academy Awards.
