James Cameron recently told “The Empire Film Podcast” that he wants to make his next two “Avatar” sequels in a much shorter time span and for a lot less money.

“You know, I’ll be doing some writing. I’ve got a number of projects that I’m cooking,” Cameron explained. “And ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’ are still floating out there. We’re going to be looking at some new technologies to try to do them more efficiently. Because they’re hideously expensive and take a long time. I want to do them in half the time for two-thirds of the cost. That’s my metric. And so it’s going to take us a year or so to figure out how to do that.”
