While visiting Seoul, Korea, Avatar director James Cameron addressed rumors surrounding the sequel saying, "The release date will be announced in a few months."

The Oscar-winning director was speaking at an annual technology convention in South Korea. Cameron told the crowd:

"Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment - a different setting within Pandora. And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well."

He says that the film will take about three years to make, which happens to be 18 months less than the original film. So far, just the concept has been mapped out, but no scripts have been written.

Avatar fans will have to wait until 2014 to see the second part! However, Cameron did clarify that the sequel will most likely not be named Avatar 2.

Making a sequel sounds like a no brainer, considering the original Avatar has already pulled in $2.7 billion in global ticket sales.
