Remember the exciting wordplay, dense mythology and rich characters in ‘Avatar’. No? How about the big ass tree that exploded at the end? Maybe that rings a bell. Or maybe what you  remember from James Cameron’s epic FX game changer is just one giant, swirling 3D collage of vibrant colors and sweet aerial battles. In any case, I think most fans of the film would concede that the story itself was not one of the films strong-suits. The cynic in me almost wants to deduce it to a knock-off of ‘Ferngully: The Last Rainforest’, but I have more respect for Cameron than that. Obviously, he views film as technical medium above all and that’s fine, but apparently, he’s itching to prove he has a little more integrity than he let’s on as a writer.

According to The Wall Street Journal, he already has a novel in the works in an attempt to expand on the world of Pandora and the characters in the ‘Avatar’ universe. “There are things you can do in books that you can’t do with films”, the filmmaker conceded. And let’s not forget that this was a film that was cooking inside Cameron’s head for almost two decades; surely there’s more goods where the most successful movie of all time came from.
