They still filming for just part 2 and 3. It's possible 4 and 5 won't even come out. Possible.They wrote all four movies together and have filmed all of them together. It’s got a really long post production too for the graphics as well.
I look at it as Searchlight movies aren't tentpole flicks that they need to date that far aheadThe Cinema geek in me is concerned about the lack of Searchlight films on the schedule.
Seems like a bad idea to film multiple parts of a movie who's whole draw is the CGI. shyt will still be 2019 graphics in 2026 and look dated af.They still filming for just part 2 and 3. It's possible 4 and 5 won't even come out. Possible.
Cameron said couple years ago if 3 and 4 don't make enough money 4 and 5 won't happen.
But then I read that some of part 4 has already been filmed. So idk.
It's similar to Star Wars. After TLJ came out, I saw die hard fans on FB and even people here shun it off, but once that trailer hit a few weeks ago, it seems like everyone is back on board. I'll never really understand how Avatar made all of that money. I know the 3D aspect was re-introduced and it was Cameron's first film in 12 years but I remember leaving the theater and thinking to myself. "Meh. " I tried watching it again a few months later and fell asleep. I've only ever fully watched it once.
But but bur but we got the X-Men and Fantastic Four back! Seriously people didn't look at the bigger picture because now a lot of possibly great films will go the wayside now that Fox is owned by the mouse.
