James Cameron Currently Filming 'Avatar 2'

James Cameron recently announced he was filming a sequel. The sequel is almost done with filming. The title was revealed earlier, and it's called 'Avatar 2' -- Cameron stated Sam Worthington would return.

Director James Cameron was at a technology forum in South Korea where he was promoting 3D and speaking about the sequel to "Avatar," which he said will take about 18 months to make, half the time the original took. He added that a release date for "Avatar 2" will be announced in a few months.

Regarding 3D, Cameron believes that it will replace 2D as the standard and that viewers will soon enjoy 3D entertainment in all forms, including sports and music shows. And it will take less than the 25 years it took for color movies to replace black-and-white. His guess is that it will be only a couple of years.

Cameron said that the biggest hurdle is the lack of 3D content to watch. "If you play all the 3-D movies in existence on your fancy new 3-D TV, it will keep you entertained for about 3 days," he said. "This content gap is the biggest hurdle for the rapid adoption of 3D TV."

When asked about the prospects of streaming 3D movies through the internet to laptops, Cameron replied: "3-D laptops are already here. I've already seen some very good ones."
