James Cameron has revealed new details about his upcoming sequel to Avatar.

According to E!, the director confirmed that a second instalment was always part of his plans for the franchise.

"We always planned on continuing the world and continuing the characters," he said at the Producers Guild of America Awards last night. "In fact, that was part of the original pitch to 20th Century Fox."

Cameron also admitted that he hopes to spend even more money to expand the world of the movie.

"We're going to spend a lot of money building this world and all these digital characters and digital plants and trees and mountains and so on, and then once we've got it, we've got it," he continued.

"It's not like it's a practical set that when you build it, you have to tear it down and you're left with a big pile of lumber out behind the studio. We have all that stuff so we can go again."

However, the helmer cautioned against fans marking their calendars now for the update's release, adding: "We just have to come up with a great story, which we haven't done yet.

"I have a rough story, but you need to make a script, so that might take some time. Don't start going to buy your tickets."
