Avatar wins big at Saturn Awards
Jon Landau believes that it is unlikely that Avatar 2 will hit the big screen in 2014.
There has been much talk about a sequel ever since the monster success of the first movie back in 2009.
And while fans has hoped that 2014 would be the year when we got to return to Pandora producer Landau believes that that will not be the case.
Speaking to Empire Landau said: "We're not naming dates, but I think 2014 will be a tough date for us to make.
"It's about getting it right. Movies make release dates; release dates don't make movies."
However work on the movie has got underway as he reveals that WETA have already begun work on some underwater sequences.
"We've started already. WETA are already working and we have our core team, [animation supervisor] Richie Baneham and [digital effects supervisor] Nolan Murtha, working with us. And we're working on underwater performance-capture.
"It's going to be like the Floating Mountains in the first movie. It's not going to be all underwater; it's going to be a place we go to, leave and come back to."
Avatar made in excess of $2 billion by the end of it's theatrical release in 2009/10, making it the biggest grossing movie of all time.
Since then both director James Cameron and the actors have expressed a desire to return to the project.
