If you’ve been wondering just how quickly James Cameron could turn around a sequel to the massively successful Dances With Smurfs – No, wait, I mean Avatar – then the answer appears to be “much sooner than it took him to follow up Titanic.”
James Cameron apparently told the All Things Digital conference that his next movie may be the …
