It's a Christmas present for 'Avatar' fans as the sequel of the 2009 hit flick is all set for a Christmas 2017 release date.

The director of the flick, James Cameron has confirmed that his eagerly anticipated follow-up to the epic science fiction has a tentative release date but right now his main concern is completing them, reports News24.com.

He said that Christmas of '17 is the target, adding that he calls it a meta-narrative that runs across the three movies. Each film stands alone, but it also tells one much larger story.

Cameron also revealed that pre-production is almost completed and he is getting ready to start shooting.

He explained that they have design more or less finished, which is an enormous task. It's been about a two-year task, adding that they have finished all the creatures and the landscapes, and the new worlds within the world of Pandora that you see.
