How much more can CGI and 3D be pushed?
Avatar 2 looks set to miss its estimated release date of 2014 and may instead arrive in 2016. Speaking at a screening of Titanic 3D, film producer Jon Landau revealed that the project was still four years off. When pressed for clarification as to whether this meant 2016 or the dates that had been given before, he responded with a very loose, "It's in that window, '14, '15."
No reasoning has been given for the delay. Rumour has it that the scripts for Avatar 2 and 3, which are to be shot together, have not been completed while other sources maintain that Cameron wishes to push the boundaries of 3D technology and shoot in 60 frames per second. In the mean time, Titanic 3D will arrive in cinemas in April. This marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ship and 15 years after the original film release.
