Director James Cameron said Wednesday that writing three Avatar sequels is such a complex job he’s delaying the first new film a year and it will now be released in late 2017. Cameron plans to film the highly-anticipated sequels at one time and then release the three films over consecutive years. He said, “There’s a layer of complexity in getting the story to work as a saga across three films that you don’t get when you’re making a stand-alone film.
