For anyone who was excited to see James Cameron‘s long-gestating Avatar 2
take on Star Wars: Episode VIII for a Christmas box office battle royale, we
have some bad news. Avatar 2 will not be ready to meet the Christmas 2017
release that was staked out for the sequel. Though the release date was never
officially claimed by 20th Century Fox, Cameron himself said they were
targeting the holiday release window just last month. But now we have no idea
when the sequel might hit the big screen.

原本預計要於2017年聖誕節正面對決的兩部大片，阿凡達2和星戰8，可能沒機會成真了，

20世紀福斯對阿凡達2的正式上映日期從未鬆口，雖然大導演本人上個月才透露他們目標

是在聖誕節檔期，但現在看來又是遙遙無期。

The Wrap has the news of Avatar 2 delayed, though at this point we’re not
surprised. For the past few years Avatar 2 has been rumored for 2014, 2015,
2016 and most recently 2017. But when Cameron did mention the previous
Christmas 2017 target, he added that meeting that date wasn’t as important
as “the fact that when we get all three films done, we drop them a year
apart.”

對大多數的影迷來說聽到阿凡達2再度延遲的消息並不意外，畢竟可能上映的日期已經

從2014年->2015年->2016年，傳到最近的2017年，但當大導演談到視2017年聖誕節為目

標時他也提到，把這3部曲完成的重要性還是大於上映檔期。

There was already speculation that Avatar 2 wasn’t going to meet the
estimated release when Star Wars: Episode VIII moved to December 15th, 2017,
a full seven months after the previously planned May 2017 release date.
Disney clearly knew they weren’t going to have any major competition at the
box office and also wanted that Christmas money for their merchandise
release. Plus, there’s no way Disney would willingly take on Avatar 2 with
the chance of having a smaller IMAX screen count, especially when there’s an
Avatar installment planned for their theme parks.

之前就有人揣測，星戰8之所以將預計的上映日期從2017年的5月延到2017年的12月是早

就知道阿凡達2無法趕上這個檔期，也就是這段期間不會有任何強大的競爭對手，所以

要伴隨著週邊商品及過節氣氛好好地賺一筆。

So perhaps now that Star Wars: Episode VIII has laid claim to December for at
least the next couple years, 20th Century Fox will take Avatar 2 to the
summer of 2018 with the third and fourth movies following in 2019 and 2020.
As of now Fox isn’t making any new date estimates, and it’s probably best
to just let Cameron make the movies and then figure out when to release them
when they’re done.

所以當星戰系列確定攻佔接下來幾年的12月檔期，20世紀福斯會將阿凡達2放在2018年的

暑假，並緊接2019年和2020年推出阿凡達3和阿凡達4，不過最好還是讓大導演本人好好

完成這幾部電影的時間再來談上映日期也不遲。

As of now, all we know about Avatar 2 is that Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana
are reprising their lead roles, underwater performance capture technology
will be used, and there’s a chance that Sigourney Weaver might be back in
some capacity. Otherwise, any story details are being kept under tight wraps.

阿凡達2目前所釋出的情報是還是會由原先的男女主角領銜主演，海底動態補捉技術將會

應用在這部電影中，異形女王也有出場機會，除此之外，其他細節尚未向外界公布。

In the end, the fact that it’s taking this long for Avatar 2 to come to
fruition isn’t all that surprising. James Cameron first announced Avatar as
a future project of his in 1996, and audiences didn’t get to see it until
2009. Hopefully fans won’t have to wait 13 years for Avatar 2, though at
this point they’ve already waited a little over six, so what’s another
seven years?

總結來說，大家對阿凡達2耗費這麼長的時間完成並不太意外，大導演說阿凡達這部

電影是他在1996年的概念，而觀眾一直要等到13年後的2009年才能夠觀賞，雖然截至

目前為止，阿凡達2已經等超過6年了，不過還是希望大導不要再湊滿13年才讓影迷們

能看到這部大作。
