According to Hollywood Reporter.com, Murdoch said they had "very early talks about it," and Cameron "has ideas" already but he has not come to "any agreement with him or budget or timing." The company"s vice-chairman, Chase Carey, confirmed that both New Corp. and Cameron intend to create a sequel.

Cameron"s sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, about a disabled marine who penetrates a race of giant blue aliens, has surpassed his 1997 Titanic to become the highest box-office grossing film of all time.
