"Avatar 2" to begin filming in 2013

While attending the New Zealand premiere of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" James Cameron had a few things to say about his own long-awaited sequel.

Speaking to the press on the red carpet Cameron stated: “I want to get these scripts nailed down. I don't want to be writing the movie in post production. We kind of did that on the first picture, I ended up cutting out a lot of scenes and I don't want to do that again.”

He also indicated that he'd be open to 48 FPS for his return to Pandora if the public accepts its use in Peter Jackson's new epic and that he's been working on the Avatar 2 and 3 scripts on his New Zealand farm but "Unfortunately it's too damn distracting because it's so beautiful". Still, he believes he'll have both scripts finished by February and begin filming before 2013 is out.
