James Cameron is done with Avatar

Filmmaker James Cameron has said that he will not revisit Avatar following the release of the definitive director's cut in November. Cameron is determined not to squeeze any more mileage out of Avatar and has promised to close the door on the fantasy film once his final version is out.

"No, I'm not going back to this. There's no re-visiting this downstream and I don't see it coming back into theatres at all unless 20 years from now they want to do something and I'm a doddering old guy who can't stop them," dailystar.co.uk quoted him as saying.

The moviemaker re-released his record-breaking 3D hit last month with an extra nine minutes of footage and plans to put out an ultimate director's cut on DVD in November, which will include further seven minutes footage.

However, the news does not spell the end of the Avatar franchise as Cameron is planning a sequel in 2014.

James Cameron to make 3D movie on Amazon tribes

Filmmaker James Cameron is planning to make a 3D movie highlighting the plight of indigenous people who will be uprooted by the construction of a dam on the Amazon river.

The Avatar director is fighting to ban the construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant on the Xingu river, an Amazon tributary, but his protests failed to keep President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from approving plans last week.

Contactmusic.com reports that Cameron now plans to show his support by shooting a movie about the lives of the local tribes.

I want to return to meet some of the leaders of the Xikrin-Kayapo tribe who invited me. I want to take a 3D camera to film how they live, their culture," he said.
