Avatar is already a movie and a video game , could a novel be next ? Good Book is thatJames Cameronis already at work on an Avatar novel , translating his 3D world and his drear alien into black and white .
IGN spoke with Avatar producer Jon Landau about the possibility of a sequel . Lev Davidovich Landau replied that an on - screen sequel to Avatar would depend on audience reply , but that Cameron is planning to lucubrate the worldly concern of Pandora on the page :
“ Trying to condense our story into a 140 - page screenplay , or two - and - a - half hours of screen time , is no easy task ” , Landau explained . “ There are great ideas and theme and type journeying that we did not have the time to go on in the book or in the moving-picture show . I think Jim wants to take the opportunity to flesh those out and make them available to people . ”
Landau also said that the novel would not be prequel or a sequel , but would go beyond the telescope of the movie .
Cameron ’s name has been attached to previous novelizations of his films along with other writer ( although the novelization for his 1989 film The Abyss was credited solely to Orson Scott Card . ) But given that Avatar has been his baby for the past decade , it ’ll be interesting to see if he ’ll be writing the Avatar novel himself and if it will truly be more than a novelisation , unfold far beyond the scope of the cinema .
