Brazilian rain forest is the inspiration for AVATAR sequels according to James Cameron

Movie James Cameron by

Brazil's rain forest and it's tribes will play a major part in inspiring James Cameron and the cast of the Avatar sequels. Cameron plans to bring the cast to Brazil's Amazonian rain forest so they will get in touch and be inspired by the place and its many indigenous tribes.

Currently, there is no information about the cast or story for the sequels. Here is what Cameron had to say about the decision:

"Avatar is a film about the rain forest and its indigenous people. Before I start to shoot the two films I want to bring my actors here, so I can better tell this story", said the Canadian director, who is currently in Manaus attending the second International Forum on Sustainability. "Actors could learn about the natives and what real life in the jungle is like."

The announcement was made at the AFP, the forum also  Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Clinton. The forums is organized by Brazilian company SEMINARS and promoted by LIDE (Brazil's Business Leaders' Group), which includes 750 associate companies that together represent 46% of Brazil's private GDP. Schwarzenegger presented the debates with Cameron under the rubric "Public Policies that Favor Sustainability", and his presence sparked collaboration rumors earlier this week when the former California Governor tweeted a picture of his "Brazilan adventure" with Cameron.

That "adventure" mentioned was when Cameron took Schwarzenegger to the Xingu River last Wednesday. Cameron said, "I introduced him to some of the indigenous leaders whom I met last year." The next day, Cameron talked to a small group of journalists after having dinner in a restaurant together with five members of the caiapo tribe, including chief Raoni, who baptized Cameron with the name "Krapremp-ti", a term for "man who is s friend of the jungle", according to Globo newspaper. Cameron told reporters he would use that name on a character in the Avatar sequel. "If I had met the caiapos before making Avatar, I would certainly have made a better film", he said.

I am interested to see how the sequels benefit from this inspiration. What are your thoughts on this news?
