James Cameron says the four sequels will be filmed back to back. I personally expect the Travis character will meet his demise on FTWD at some point. Ripley thanks for posting this. I saw this earlier today. Very plum role for Cliff Curtis.

I'm glad for Curtis too-he's getting many great roles in films & TV these days so FTWD seems to have upped his profile. I, too, find the juggling schedules thing suspect *cough sonequa Martin green *cough and wonder how much sooner Travis will likely meet his fate?

I like Travis especially when he isn't with Madison. But this is awesome for Curtis.
