Avatar is already a movie and a video game, and a novel next? James Cameron is already at work on an Avatar novel, translating his 3D world and his blue aliens into black and white. IGN spoke with Avatar producer Jon Landau about the possibility of a sequel. Landau replied that an on-screen sequel to Avatar would depend on audience response, but that Cameron is planning to expand the world of Pandora on the page. Cameron’s name has been attached to previous novelizations of his films along with other writers (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 novelization, stretching far beyond the scope of the film. source: io9.com
