James Cameron Says His ‘Avatar’ Sequels Are Not A Trilogy

In a brand new interview Cameron said that he’s still writing both films but that they’re not exactly a trilogy, more of a “overall character arc.” Read the exact quote and more updates on the films after the jump.
They then asked if he was feeling any pressure after the incredible success of the first film:
Cameron has always been extremely confident and single minded. He spent years and years making both Avatar and Titanic and experts said both films would be failures. But Cameron persevered and both films not only weren’t failures, they were the 100% opposite, each enjoying unprecedented, historic success at the time of release. If he says his new Avatar films are not a trilogy, as much as you’d like to jab at him, we’re at a point where you just might have to believe him. What do you think?
There’s always an expectation. I had to deal with that after ‘The Terminator’ back in 1984. All of a sudden I had a big hit movie and it was ‘what are you doing next?’ But my job is take the audience on a journey and entertain them. The second I am sitting down writing, I just go to Pandora. I don’t think about that stuff, about standing on a red carpet. It has its own life, really. The characters have their own lives.
