The Avatar films have raked in a ton of money, but they've also cost an exorbitant amount to produce, and in a recent interview, James Cameron explains that he now wants to find a more financially sustainable path forward.
But it's not just about the money. Production also needs to happen faster, and according to the director, it's about finding a smarter way to work. Cameron believes he has an idea of how to do this but says it will take at least a year to figure everything out.
Cameron explains that:
"We're going to be looking at some new technologies to try to do them more efficiently. Because they're hideously expensive and take a long time. I want to do them in half the time for two-thirds of the cost. And so it's going to take us a year or so to figure out how to do that"
If everything goes according to plan, the fourth and fifth Avatar films will premiere in 2029 and 2031, respectively.
