Joel David Moore The Star Of 'Avatar' 'Will Be A Part' Of The Planned Sequel

"Avatar" continues to overtake every Hollywood box office record that's ever been set, fans are already wondering when we'll see more. And while Pandora fans don't have a hard timeframe to pin their hopes to yet, we'll still ask anyone who was involved with the movie about sequel possibilities whenever there's an opportunity. Such was the case yesterday, when star Joel David Moore -- who played human scientist Norm Spellman -- stopped by the MTV Newsroom for a chat.

"There are a lot of places for it to go and all of those decisions lie in one man's brain," he said, referring to "Avatar" director James Cameron. What Moore does know is that he hasn't seen the last of the Na'vi people. "Yes, I will be a part of whatever they want me to do. How can you not? I would love to go back to that world."


The problem for Moore's Spellman is that (SPOILER ALERT) his avatar dies towards the end of the movie. There are a whole host of story-pegged issues related to bringing that vessel back, starting with the difficulty of simply creating another one.

"Understand that these things are grown from DNA from the Na'vi and us," he said. In the movie we learn that the process of creating one is measured in years, and that it is a complex genetics procedure requiring valuable high tech equipment. That said, the now-vacant RDA base on Pandora is certainly kitted out with the best equipment. Who knows what those wily human scientists will cook up?

For the time being, Moore is busy mourning his avatar's absence. "I miss my avatar now," he said. "I wish he was here, with us. Maybe he is, in spirit." Ooookay. Getting serious again, Moore clearly remains hopeful for the future of his avatar. "A lot of things can happen," he said. "Anything can happen in a sequel and anything can happen on another planet."

Argue Over Who’s The Better Parent- "Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt"

ANGELINA Jolie feels that Brad Pitt leaves her to raise their children.

The couple have six kids together and Jolie, 34, has raised the issue with Pitt that she’s unhappy about shouldering the parental burden of Maddox, 8; Pax, 6; Zahara, 5; Shiloh, 3; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 18 months.

“Angie felt like Brad wasn’t pulling his weight,” a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly magazine.

“She’s exhausted and has been overwhelmed with the kids. She has nannies, but she wants to do it herself. Her kids are all in different stages now, running around, needing attention.”

Jolie is demanding on Pitt, 46 — even down to the last detail, insiders say.

“She’ll yell at him when he makes the eggs too runny or burns something,” says a source, who points out how the Fight Club star prides himself as “a Mr. Mom who loves to cook.”

Recent reports claimed the Tomb Raider shocked Brad when she said that whatever happens in their relationship, she’ll be the one bringing up the kids.

“They were disagreeing on how best to discipline them,” one loose-lipped insider told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “Angie just lost it and Brad that the kids were hers, so he should just but out.

“The kids have been acting out since Angie and Brad started fighting so much. Things would only get worse if they were living full-time with just one parent. Angelina just couldn’t handle it, even though she thinks she’d be a great single mom.

“Brad doesn’t want to lose his deep connection with the kids. He believes he deserves to be a part of their lives just as much as she does.”
