James Cameron's Avatar sequels could use Douglas Trumbull's new system for 4K 3D at 120 frames per second.
The filmmaker and inventor has discussed the new system with Avatar series producer Jon Landau, he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Landau has requested a screening of short film UFOTOG, which is being used as a showcase for the MAGI process.
"I know that Cameron admired Showscan [Trumbull's earlier invention of a large-format high-frame rate projection system] and that he is a huge advocate of high frame rates [HFRs]," said Trumbull.
"The use of HFRs for Avatar would be very appropriate and very successful.
"I don't know if Cameron is interested [in using MAGI for the Avatar sequels]. He's in seclusion writing the screenplay for Avatar. I am talking to Jon Landau, and we plan to have a screening [of UFOTOG] soon."
Trumbull has said that he is in talks with other directors about MAGI.
"It delivers extreme fluidity of motion and amazing clarity with no strobing, no double flickering and a viewing experience that far exceeds conventional movie quality," he said during his keynote speech at the IBC Convention in Amsterdam.
The first 3D Avatar sequel is expected to be released in cinemas by Christmas 2016, with the subsequent movies set for 2017 and late 2018 respectively.
Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana will return for the three sequels, which will start filming in 2015.
