You don't actually think it took 15 years to make right? This isn't Duke Nukem.
He created the script 15 years or so ago but did not feel the technology was advanced enough to create his vision. The movie took around 4 years to make.
I was joking, he's probably not going to take another 30 years to make 2 sequels, but I was talking about his personality. His sequels/big films usually are split at 6-7 years apart.
And look, what if the technology of "tomorrow" still isn't enough for his dream?

Pocahontas 2.0.
Actually I had the impression this story was made before Pocahontas movie even came out
Pocahontas was released in 1995, this was started in 1994. I didn't like it.
Avatar or pocahontas?
lol
I mean the basic plot.
Besides theres a lot of common type plots, there simple, just because you see one do it first, doesn't mean others are ripping them off, or copying them.
People will say the warcraft movie copied Lord of the Rings, basically because there the same theme, totally different plot, and the races are drastically different (Exception of humans and elves). But mainly the same theme. So people will say they copied them.
Well, the way I see it as follows, using Titanic as an example...
Was anyone really surprised when the Titanic hit an Iceberg, and sank? Most knew there was a love story, classic under-privileged "Charismatic" man, and a wealthy woman destined to marry an arrogant, and powerful man, who end up porking, falling in love, and obviously ending in tragedy. I'd say more people knew the outcome of Titanic than they did Avatar... That didn't stop Titanic from being considered a huge success, and the critics from being immensely favorable. Why is that?
Predictability does not mean bad. Far from it. And those who think so should get over it, because that simply is.
