The biggest fish in Hollywood starts thinking small...

James Cameron seems quite expansive in light of the flood of favourable criticism arising from the London premiere of Avatar, talking up two possible sequels to the semi-CGI movie and also a possible return to the Fantastic Voyage remake which has been floating around the veins of the internet and development hell for so long.

World-hater Roland Emmerich has also been associated with the remake of the 1966 film, which finds a group of scientists miniaturised into the body of a mortally-wounded defecting Russian scientist in an attempt to save him, for several years.

Fantastic Voyage rewriter Shane Salerno seems to be cropping up regularly in Cameron projects, since his Seven Samurai-inspired Doomsday Protocol script resembling the 1980 Roger Corman film Battle Beyond The Stars, on which Cameron worked as a VFX supervisor) has been tipped for involvement with JC.

Voyage is being proposed as part of a new package including two Avatar sequels, and would make use of the expensive 3D technology produced by Cameron for his tale of off-world rebellion.

The original movie was based on a story by Isaac Asimov, and starred Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasance.
