Op een persconferentie ter promotie van de Avatar extended edition Blu-ray set, die op 16 november wordt gereleased, heeft regisseur James Cameron zich uitgesproken over zijn (mogelijke) toekomstige filmprojecten: sequels op Avatar, een nieuwe versie van Cleopatra en de spin-off televisieserie van True Lies.

Over de vervolgfilms op Avatar zegt Cameron het volgende:

"Our plan right now is to do two and three as a single large production and release them a year apart. In order to do that, we have to refine our technical processes beyond the end of where we were finishing 'Avatar' one a year ago. We need to future-proof ourselves out five or six years to the end of the third film."

Verder zegt Cameron dat het nog niet zeker is dat hij aan een nieuwe versie van Cleopatra (met Angelina Jolie in de hoofdrol) gaat werken:

"I haven't made any decisions about that, but here's a decision: I'm not going to work on a film between ['Avatar'] two and three. It's really a question of whether or not I do one between now and when we start two. We're evaluating how much of our techwork and how much of our facility work it's going to take. That's not decided as of right now. I'd love to just start on 'Avatar 2' right now, but I don't know if that's possible or if it makes sense to wait."

De spin-off televisieserie van True Lies, waaraan hij momenteel als producent verbonden is, lijkt momenteel wel zijn laatste zorg:

"I'm not really doing that. That was initiated by others. Friends of mine who wanted to do that. I said, 'Yes, go with God. Do 'True Lies.' But do I have to show up to do anything?' They said, 'Absolutely not.'"
