Here is the article.
I seem to be a little torn with this news.
I have the greatest admiration for James Cameron.
He is certainly one of my favorite directors (if not my favorite).
He has proven that anything he touches turns into
Box-Office gold.
Was AVATAR a great movie? Not in my opinion.
I believe that most of the hype and success surrounding
the film was due to it being in 3D (and very good 3D at that).
In my opinion Cameron should have let someone else
write that movie. It's also very much a premise we have
seen before (Dances with Wolves and Pocahontas come
to immediate mind).
I do believe that by the time these new films arrive the
astonishment of 3D will have diminished considerably.
For that reason, the film will have to succeed on originality
and other elements that draw us into the story other than
the 3D.
I wish Cameron the best with these films. If anyone
can pull them off a second and third time it is he.
