James Cameron Still Has Most of One More Avatar Sequel to Film

God Country

Bloody-Disgusting reports Netflix is developing a feature film based on Donny Cates’ comic book series, God Country. Directed by Jim Mickle (Stake Land), the story will follow “an aging man with dementia who acquires a mythical sword when a tornado blows through his town. While the sword cures him of his disease, he must use it to protect his family against terrifying otherworldly creatures seeking its power.”

Avatar 2, 3 and 4

In a recent interview with Variety, James Cameron confirmed Avatar 2 is “fully in the can” while his cut of Avatar 3 is presently “way too long”. Cameron also revealed “a little bit” of Avatar 4 has been filmed, as well.

2 is fully in the can. We have a working cut that we’re filling in the visual effects within. I feel pretty confident with that film. 3 is still a bit shadowy. It’s way too long. I haven’t really turned my energy into a disciplined cutting process on that yet. But I know I’ve got the performances. That’s the important thing. I’ve done all the capture. I’ve done most of the live action shooting. I still owe a little bit on some of the adult characters. We were more concerned with the kids aging out. You got to get busy before Timothée…

We mixed the schedules for 2 and 3 together, based on the types of scenes and the environments. I said, let’s just treat it like it’s a six-hour miniseries and we’re only going to go to Frankfurt once. We’re going to shoot all the scenes from 2 and 3 at the same time. That was more or less the motif. Actor availability was an issue as well. Anything that had to be done with a specific actor, we did all the scenes for 2 and 3 together — and a little bit of 4. Because once again, I had to shoot the kids out. They’re allowed to age six years in the middle of the story on page 25 of movie 4. So I needed everything before then, and then everything after, we’ll do later.
