'Avatar' Will Reportedly Have 3 Sequels, All Shooting At The Same Time

We suppose this isn't a total surprise. It was only back in May when the usually chatty James Cameron made it clear that he was only focusing on "Avatar" movies going forward, teasing at the possibility of a fourth entry in his new money-making, technology-busting franchise. "I’m in the 'Avatar' business. Period. That’s it. I’m making 'Avatar 2,' 'Avatar 3,' maybe 'Avatar 4,' " he said. And if this latest report is to be believed, not only is a fourth movie coming, he's also just gonna make all three of the "Avatar" sequels at once.

Over at Showbiz 411, Roger Friedman caught up with Sigourney Weaver at the NYC premiere of the new USA Network show "Political Animals" and asked the actress what she was up to next. And apparently her calendar looks something like this: "she goes right into a new Christopher Durang play for a short run at Lincoln Center. Then she films 'Avatar' 2, 3, and 4 with James Cameron. That’s right: they’re making three sequels to the blue 3D phenom all at the same time." Of course, Weaver couldn't say anything more about her role or how extensive this three-movie shoot would be, only to say, "I just show up."
