Avatar Sequels! What will the next worlds look like?

I ran into this article on SlashFilm, one of my favorite movie oriented blogs. Say what you want about Avatar but fantasy worlds will always be hip!!! I can't get enough of them! So of course I was excited to hear some talk about Avatar 2 which will focus on an ocean oriented world. It will be interesting to see what they come up with because it seems much of the rain forest in Avatar was based on things found in the ocean... those weird fanning plants, yea those look strangely similar to Feather Dusters - an underwater worm. I hope this is where the real creativity will shine

Here is an excerpt from the article:

* In March it was rumored that Fox was considering rereleasing Avatar in theaters in Fall 2010, possibly with additional footage. Cameron confirms the rerelease and extra footage: “We’re working on finishing an additional six minutes of the film — which includes a lot of Weta work — for a theatrical re-release in August.”

* Avatar 2 will take us into the oceans of Pandora: “We created a broad canvas for the environment of film. That’s not just on Pandora, but throughout the Alpha Centauri AB system. And we expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story – not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film. ” … “Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment – a different setting within Pandora. And I’m going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won’t be a rain forest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well.” Sounds good, but the question is, when can we expect to see the films on the big screen?
