On AVATAR sequels:
Question: Are you excited about James Cameron being back to work on the next Avatar film?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: Yeah. And now we’re going to do two more, back-to-back.
Question: How will you return? Didn’t your character die?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: Really? That’s an interpretation. You saw something happen to me, but as [Cameron] says, “In science fiction, no one ever dies.” But, we’ll talk another time about that.
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: Yeah. And now we’re going to do two more, back-to-back.

On GHOSTBUSTERS 3:
Question: Is there any update on Ghostbusters 3?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: I was hoping you could tell me. I guess Bill [Murray] hasn’t read the script yet.
Question: Would you do it, even if Bill said no?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: No, I don’t think any of us would do it, if Bill said no. Why would we do that? I think the whole point is to get together and have fun.
Question: So, it’s all riding on Bill?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: Yeah, and he probably loves that. No, I think he’s just been busy. He’s over in England playing Franklin D. Roosevelt. That’s what I heard, anyway.
Question: Can’t you call him up and put some pressure on him to read the script?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: I would never do that! I don’t think that works with Bill. I did actually ask him about doing The Guys, so called the 800 number and left a message, but when he doesn’t respond, you know that he’s not interested. It’s actually a pretty good system. I envy him, in a way. No email, no phone calls, no agent. I don’t know what he does. He doesn’t do any of that.
Question: Do you have any idea where the story would go?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER: I haven’t read the script. They were working on it. I talked to Ivan Reitman and I said, “I only have one request, and that is that my little son, Oscar, would grow up to be a Ghostbuster,” and he said, “That’s already done!” So, I don’t know anything about it and, frankly, I’m glad because I don’t want to get attached to doing it, if Bill is not going to come through. We’ll see what he wants to do.
