Anyone remember a news at least 10 years ago, James Cameron said: Avatar sequel will cheaper to make?

I vividly remember he said that, he even gave the reason: because we can reuse models and program from first Avatar.

And I remember in the comment section few people call him bullshit, because his track record on budget.

I spend hours try to google it, but can't find it, anyone remember it?

I definitely remember him saying something like that in an interview. He essentially said that a lot of the technology and capital costs that were assigned to the first Avatar movie would be reusable in the sequels. So it wasn't fair that so much cost got assigned to the first Avatar movie and that it really should have been amortized over the cost of future movies as well.

Yes, that is what I remember, the weird thing is I can't google it.
