James Cameron says the long-gestating sequel to his science-fiction epic will not be released next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2018 is not happening,\u201d Cameron told The Toronto Star. Cameron has been developing four more \u201cAvatar\u201d films simultaneously. Though \u201cAvatar 2\u201d had not officially been scheduled for next year, 20th Century Fox last November dated a film from Cameron&#8217;s production company for Dec. 21, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>That means that at least a decade will likely follow Cameron&#8217;s 2009 \u201cAvatar\u201d before a sequel lands in theatres.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron has said the scripts are done for all four films and that pre-production work continues. The director called it \u201can epic undertaking\u201d \u201cnot unlike building the Three Gorges Dam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he assured fans he&#8217;s working hard: \u201cWe&#8217;re full-tilt boogie right now,\u201d said Cameron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK\u2014Another year, another \u201cAvatar\u201d postponement.
