BOMBSHELL DROPPED ON JAMES CAMERON’S NEXT POTENTIAL FILM PLUS NEW DETAILS ON AVATAR SEQUEL
Source: Collider.com
As we reported at the start of this year , James Cameron was in talks with Last Train to Hiroshima author “Dr.” Charles Pellegrino to work on adapting the literature. Quotations are used on Mr. Pellegrino’s title because he is now under suspicion of fraud. According to an article by the Associated Press, Pellegrino may have taken some creative liberties with his book, but possibly his own educational background as well.
In other Cameron news, the director provided some new details about the sequel for Avatar. Hit the jump for more on both stories.
As reported by the AP, Pellegrino’s sources of information used in the book may have been fabricated.

JAMES CAMERON: DON’T CALL IT AVATAR 2, HERE’S THE NEW TITLE

Sort of. Director James Cameron says it makes no sense to call the follow-up to his megahit 3-D sci-fi movie Avatar 2 and offers up a few details about what he wants for the sequel. (Spoilers ahead!)
Not only would Avatar 2 be an unoriginal name, it wouldn’t actually fit: The original movie ended with Jake (Sam Worthington) becoming an actual Na’vi, so he’s no longer an avatar.
“Certainly I don’t want to call it Avatar 2,” Cameron said at the Visual Effects Society Awards ceremony in Century City, Calif., on Sunday, where he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. “He’s not an avatar anymore, is he? Maybe we’ll call it Na’vi.”

“I want to create everything,” Emmerich told Empire. “I want it to be a full CG film, so [performance capture] is perfect for that.”

ZACH SNYDER’S GUARDIANS OF GA’HOOLE RETITLED LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS

Warner Bros./Village Roadshow Pictures have decided to give Zack Snyder’s animated adaptation of the popular children’s book series Guardians of Ga’Hoole a new title: Legend of the Guardians. The new title is aimed at those who might not understand what a “Ga’Hoole” is or means. And while it may be easier for people to pronounce and understand, for me the new title comes off a bit generic-sounding.

This may be one of the best interviews I’ve ever done. Steve is the interviewing master and has done way more than me, but I’m really proud of this one because it eventually turned into a conversation.

I think I’m the only person on the planet who has not seen Avatar. Is it sequel material? 3d CG is probably the next wave of ‘how to make movies’ – how do you feel about that? What do you think about today’s movie news?
