AVATAR Prequel Coming Soon
The AVATAR script reveals some background about the AVATAR world including sex, drugs and suicide. But lots happens before the movie's events take place and producer Jon Landau says James Cameron wants to write a prequel novel: "Sigourney teaching at the schoolhouse. Jake on Earth, and his back-story and how he came here, and Tommy, Jake's brother." The possibilities are endless. Cameron could flesh out the Na'vi beyond the movie's "noble redskin" stereotypes and even show something besides evil white guys and noble blue guys, but could just as easily blast right-wing critics. Or explain how unobtainium really got its name. Or write himself in as a Na'vi character. The good news: Cameron hopes to have the book done by the end of the year.

"Jon Landau says James Cameron wants to write a prequel novel"
Novel people, novel, not a film. However, how about writing the script for the next movie and uh, making the next movie please?

Uh HELL YES, however, agreed with Alex.

I wanna hear about Jakes heroin addiction and what kind of tabaco the Na'Vi smoke.

Actual I think a prequel is a pretty good idea and has a lot more scope then what happens after the current movie. After all Jake has already won the heart of Netiri and another conflict with the humans would just be repeating the same story line. So interesting too that you get to see what jakes twin brother was like.

I would want to see the first human-na'vi interaction/na'vi discovery.

I would like to read about the actual discovery of Pandora and Unobtainum. Also the development of the ship that took Jake to Pandora, and RDA's work else where - like recruiting Tommy, developing treatments, etcs.

i believe books are brilliant but it would be better to have a pre-quel movie

Really gotta buy the book!!!

A Prequel Novel or animation movies, like they did with Batman?
It’s good for the fans that want to know more about how it all began.
I only want to see a Sequel, when the script is done right. I see no point in a hasty sequel done in 1 ½.
Let it take 2 – 3 years if that’s what it takes to make it worthy AVATAR 2 movie.
If that is the case, then a novel is a great idea.
