Director James Cameron only has high praises for his upcoming "Avatar" movie sequels.

In an interview with Empire, Cameron revealed that the three sequels of the 2009 blockbuster hit, "Avatar", will make fans of the movie "sh*t" themselves.

"I can tell you one thing about them. They're gonna be b*tchin'. You will sh*t yourself with your mouth wide open," the Oscar-winning director revealed to Empire.

Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno are writing the screenplays of the three "Avatar" films, which will be released in theaters tentatively in December of 2016, 2017, and 2018, E! Online noted. Cameron said that he divided the first two scripts amongst the writing team.

"I think we met for seven months and we whiteboarded out every scene in every film together," the writer/director explained. "And I didn't assign each writer which film they were going to work on until the last day. I knew if I assigned them their scripts ahead of time, they'd tune out every time we were talking about the other movie."

As for the plot, Cameron stated in an interview with the Associated Press last December that fans would see new material in the sequels. "At first I thought I was going to take it onto other worlds as well, in the same solar system, but it turned out not to be necessary. I mean, the Pandora that we have imagined will be a fantasyland that is going to occupy people for decades to come, the way I see it," he said.

Cameron further explained, "There's a fair bit of underwater stuff. It's been inaccurately said that the second film takes place underwater. That's not true. There are underwater scenes and surface-water scenes having to do with indigenous ocean cultures that are distributed across the three films," he told AP.

According to another report from E! Online, Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington will reprise their roles as Neytiri and Jake Sully in the upcoming "Avatar" sequels, which will be shot back-to-back-to-back in New Zealand. Stephen Lang, who portrayed the role of Marine Colonel Quaritch, will also return for the film installments, E! added. However, it's unsure how he will return in the storyline seeing as his character died in the first movie.

Cameron will direct and produce the "Avatar" films together with Jon Landau, E! Online noted. "Avatar" became the highest-grossing film at the box office of all time, earning $789 million when it hit theaters, The Verge reports.
