Here is a nice interview of Jim and some of this thoughts regarding the exploration of the deep sea and Avatar.
Well worth the read I think;

This is not the first time and place I have heard him mention that he is interested in doing the Avatar sequels because it gives him a platform to talk about environmental aspects that he has an interest in.
Should be interesting to see them from just that perspective alone.
Also the closing comments he makes…. After Avatar 4 he may go back to deep sea exploration. We have been helping one of the guys with the pilot manual for the sub, so perhaps that will get dusted off and reviewed (I don’t think any of us would do any of it exactly the same again…. Except perhaps the life support system which was well proven, stable for years and never once gave any issues) so that those that get involved in any projects Jim gets going at that time will have something to learn from. It was tough doing it from a blank sheet.
Edit about an hour after this was posted;
Here is another good write up;

I guess they are going to be coming thick and fast as we lead up to the movie.
