Post Avatar: Cameron Takes On "The Informationist"

James Cameron will take on the thriller "The Informationist" as his next film once he's done with both "Avatar 2" and Avatar 3 says Heat Vision.

An adaptation of author Taylor Stevens written novel, the story centers on a woman born in central Africa who spent her teenage years as a protege of gunners and mercenaries. She has now reinvented herself as an information dealer for wealthy clients. She finds herself back on the Dark Continent after a billionaire hires her to find his missing daughter.

The book's heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, has been called a cross between Sherlock Holmes
and Lisbeth Salander from Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy.

Cameron and Jon Landau will produce the pic and Fox will distribute.
