‘Avatar sequels to begin production in 2014’

Sam Worthington has revealed that production on the upcoming Avatar sequels is set to begin in 2014.

Director James Cameron last year revealed plans to make three Avatar sequels that would expand the universe of his original 2009 film.

In an interview with Australian radio station Nova 96.9, Worthington said that principal photography on the movies was set for October 2014.

According to Worthington, shooting for subsequent movies in the franchise will be completed within a year of each new movie’s yearly release.

The films themselves are expected to come out between December 2016 and December 2018.

In addition to the three new sequels, Cameron recently announced that a series of four original Avatar novels will be penned by author Steven Gould.
