Following Avatar: fire and Ash, james cameron has said that The Devils will be his next fantasy film.  Fire and Ash, the third avatar film, has been in development for a while and was first scheduled for release in 2015.  The movie is presently under post-production and will be released on december 19.  Sigourney Weaver, stephen Lang, Zoe Saldaña, and sam Worthington all reprise their roles from the first sequel in this highly anticipated 2025 film. 

Cameron has already announced his upcoming fantasy movie, which is based on The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, on Facebook.  The book's rights are owned by cameron and his business, Lightstorm.  The author and the filmmaker will co-write the next project. 

Cameron wrote, "How do I describe The Devils? A sharply witty horror adventure? An epic battle between good and evil except most of the time you can't tell which is which? A twisted, stylish, alt-universe middle-ages romp, where your best hope of survival is the monsters themselves? This is Joe Abercrombie in absolute peak form, opening up a whole new world and an ensemble of delicious new characters. The twists and turns come at a rollercoaster pace, and with Joe's signature acerbic wit and style. The Devils showcases Joe's jaundiced view of human nature, in all its dark, selfish glory, as told through some decidedly un-human characters. But of course, Joe always teases with the flickers of redemption that make it all worthwhile -- and ultimately quite heartwrenching.

I've loved Joe's writing for years, cherishing each new read, throughout the epic cycle of the First Law books, especially Best Served Cold (LOVE IT!) and the Age of Madness trilogy. But the freshness of the world and the characters in The Devils finally got me off my butt to buy one of his books and partner with him to bring it to the screen. I'm looking forward to the writing process with him, though I'm certain this adaptation will practically write itself because Joe writes very visually, almost in scenes, and with a very cinematic structure. I can't wait to dig into this as I wind down on Avatar: fire and Ash. It will be a joyful new challenge for me to bring these indelible characters to life."
