James Cameron Shows No Sign Of Slowing 'Avatar 2' Progress Despite The Untimely Death Of Music Composer James Horner!

Fans started to worry again when news of the tragic death of music composer James Horner came.

The late composer was supposedly working on James Cameron's "Avatar 2" movie.

At age 61, he died in a tragic California plane crash.

"A trained pilot, he is reported to have been alone aboard a small private plane which crashed north of Santa Barbara on Monday morning," BBC reported.

And while fans thought that Cameron would delay the development of the upcoming "Avatar 2" again, it seemed like that wouldn't happen, instead the award-winning director just paid his respects to his good friend of more than 30 decades already.

"There's so much music he could have done. We were looking forward to our next gig," Cameron told People.

Cameron and Horner worked in "Aliens," but it's not until they made the record breaking film "Titanic" in 1998 when they both won Oscars.

In a joint statement Cameron and his "Avatar" producing partner Jon Landau said "the Avatar community has lost one of our great creative lights."

"James' music was the air under the banshees' wings, the ancient song of the forest, and the heartbeat of Eywa," they said.

"We have lost not only a great team-mate and collaborator, but a good friend.

"James's music affected the heart because his heart was so big, it infused every cue with deep emotional resonance, whether soaring in majesty through the floating mountains, or crying for the loss of nature's innocence under bulldozer treads.

"The beauty and power of Avatar lay not just in the superb performances and the visual splendour, but in the music that made us cry and exult along with our characters. Irayo, James. Fly brother.''

While he seemed very quiet about the development of "Avatar 2," Horner was the one who explained the reason for the films delay.

Horner said that James Cameron is actually having a hard time making sure that the script will fit in a trilogy, since he has made more than enough story good for "four sequels."

"Right now Jim has four sequels, script wise," music composer James Horner said in one of his last interviews before his untimely death. "And he's trying to make it into three. And that is where, I think, his effort is going right now. To keep it to three sequels. Because he's got so much going on how do you keep it from expanding into a fifth movie, total. And he'll get that sorted out."
