The Avatar Sequel - James Cameron's next big production is already in the works in Australia. The Avatar director is planning on traveling 36,000ft to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean to shoot footage for the sequel to his 2009 block-buster.
To reach such depths, the filmmaker has commissioned engineers to build a custom vessel to explore the deep blue.

According to the Daily Express, the two-seater submersible will come equipped with 3D cameras to record footage underwater.
"We are building a vehicle to do the dive. It's about half-completed in Australia," Cameron said.
If the 56-year-old Oscar-winner makes it to the bottom, he will only the second ever team to do so. A navy lieutenant and a scientist took five hours to descend to the sea floor in 1960.
