Avatar 2 & 3 are announced as Cameron's next project

It was announced today that James Cameron's next project would be the next two movies in what will be an Avatar trilogy. It wasn't much of a surprise, given the movie made more money than any other movie in history (excluding inflation). So, the question is, what do you do for an encore?

The problem with doing a movie that blew away theater goers as Avatar did is that studios want you to do it again and again. Sadly, those expectations are rarely met. Especially with Avatar, I think it will be more than a bit tough due to the most mentioned part of the movie; the special effects. The 3-D immersion was something we had never seen in movies, and the CGI was beautiful, creating a living, breathing world that took my breath away, but when we go back to Pandora, I will be ready this time. So, how will my mind be blown?

Don't get me wrong, this is a good problem to have, but it's a problem nonetheless. Cameron has said he hopes to go into the oceans of Pandora for the second movie, and of course, he will use his 3-D rig, developed for the movie. So, we should be able to expect more of the amazing special effects, the only thing left for mind-blowage would be an incredible story. The previous film had a good story that I found engrossing, but left some wanting more. Is this the one area the second movie can improve on? Sure, but will it help? I don't know, either way, they should be out around 2014, and they will make crazy amounts of money.

Are you looking forward to going back to Pandora? Do you think it's possible for the second movie to be better than the first? Sure, Spiderman 2 was, and Cameron's second Aliens was a good sequel, but will Avatar 2 be added to the list?
