The Avatar sequels will be a ‘family saga’ of Jake, Neytiri and their kids

For the sequels to Avatar -- the most successful movie every made -- the filmmaker, tech innovator and explorer said: “I’m going to push. Not only for better tools, work flow, high dynamic range (HDR) and high frame rates (HFR) -- the things we are working toward. I’m still very bullish on 3D, but we need brighter projection, and ultimately I think it can happen -- with no glasses. We’ll get there.”

On the sequels to Avatar, Cameron said he’s working on “HDR, 4K for native stereo reduction, all the plethora of things we can do with CG that we couldn’t do or were so difficult, I’m going need a lot of water (simulations), dynamics sims. And merging water, air, fire, all that sort of stuff together into complex simulations is going to be essential for the Avatar films.”

He added, “Movies are going to look better than they’ve ever looked. They already do and they are going to continue (to look better). Anything we can imagine we can put on the screen.”
