Tom Rothman: If it does well, yes, absolutely, in terms of an arena a whole new world. But for us, it isn’t any of that, it isn’t even the technology, it isn’t even the look and the world all of which is the coolest s*** I’ve ever seen, it isn’t even any of that, it’s that it’s a great story. It’s just a great story. You read the story and you are gripped by every page, it’s just a great, original story with tremendously, classic emotional value."

So, potentially, this is a franchise?

Hold on. Does Rothman’s comment mean we now have to contemplate Avatar 2? These remarks can be interpreted to mean a “franchise” in terms of unrelated films utilizing the groundbreaking technology, but Rothman added that Cameron makes hits and he expects this to be “the beginning.” Please exit my brain, “constantly expanding universe,” I have to make room for a (im)possible sequel to 3D cinemageddon.
