20th Century Fox has confirmed that James Cameron is making the back-to-back sequels Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 his main priority, tying up the director until 2015. This leaves Angelina Jolie's Cleopatra, a film that James Cameron was gearing up to direct, on indefinite hold for the time being. Sony Pictures had planned to get Cleopatra in front of cameras early next year. There is no word on whether or not they will go with another director on that project.
二十世纪福克斯影业正式向外界宣布，影坛大鳄詹姆斯-卡梅隆将正式开拍《阿凡达2》与《阿凡达3》，并争取在2015年前完成两部作品。而之前有媒体报道，卡梅隆有意接手的《埃及艳后》也因此变得前途未卜。索尼影业本意在明年年初开拍《埃及艳后》，而目前还没有关于电影是否易手的消息传出。
Avatar 2 will be released in December of 2014, with Avatar 3 tentatively set for a December 2015 release date.
据透露，《阿凡达2》将在2014年十二月登陆院线，而第三部预计于2015年的同一时间发行。
