Is there no ends to James Cameron’s talent? Following on from writing and directing the two most successful movies of all time, the filmmaker is now turning to penning novels and in particular a prequel to the smash hit 3D experience that was Avatar.
Avatar producer has been speaking to MTV where he revealed some details about the proposed book which would be possibly released by the end of 2010.
Landau told MTV:
“It would be something that would lead up to telling the story of the movie, but it would go into much more depth about all the stories that we didn’t have time to deal with — like the schoolhouse and Sigourney [Weaver’s character] teaching at the schoolhouse; Jake on Earth and his backstory and how he came here; [the death of] Tommy, Jake’s brother; and Colonel Quaritch, how he ended up there and all that,” Landau explained.
Landau also said that there may be other Avatar related books on the way too.
“There might be opportunities in publishing to tell some of the backstory, tell some of the Earth war stories, what went on in Jake’s life before the movie. And we’d have that lead up to the sequel that might take place on Pandora several years after our movie closed.”
