ITV competition later in the evening included The Cube (3.4 million/14.3%) and The Jonathan Ross Show (1.8 million/8.6%).
Eurovision ratings were very similar to last year, when an average of 7.5 million tuned in (36.2%).

'Avatar' 2 and 3 to shoot in early 2014 says star Zoe Saldana
6 May 2013 5:34 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
While appearing on "The Jonathan Ross Show" to promote "Star Trek Into Darkness," Zoe Saldana was asked about another well-known franchise she's at the center of. Saldana starred in 2009's "Avatar" from director James Cameron. The director has said repeatedly that he plans to make sequels, which makes sense since it's the highest-grossing movie of all time. Already planned is a trilogy, with even a possible fourth movie eventually.
Now, the second and third movies have a time frame, as Saldana reveals she's scheduled to begin filming them back-to-back, beginning in early 2014. "Because if we just do two and then wait, I'll probably be 45 or 50 by the time we get to part three. It takes a long time, it's a very hard process," she says.
The first "Avatar" sequel is tentatively scheduled to be released sometime in 2015. Whenever Cameron finished up with the series, he's announced he'll direct "The Informationalist. »

Avatar Sequels Will Start Shooting In 2014
6 May 2013 5:27 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Are you excited to go back to the big pretty planet known as Pandora, populated by large blue cat people? Are You? Whether you are or not, you better start getting prepared, because Zoe Saldana has pretty much confirmed that the two Avatar sequels (entitled, thus far, Avatar 2 and Avatar 3) are going to start shooting in 2014.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show during her junket for Star Trek Into Darkness, Saldana confirmed that two Avatar sequels will also likely shoot consecutively. She thinks that if they film Avatar 2 and wait, she’ll probably be pushing fifty by the time they get to Avatar 3. As interesting as that might be, it’s unlikely to sustain audience interest. The films therefore follow in the brilliant footsteps of The Lord of the Rings, and the slightly less brilliant footsteps of The Matrix trilogy.

On The Jonathan Ross Show, Zoe Saldana was asked about Avatar 2 and Avatar 3. Here is what she had to say:
“I think that they’re doing a part two and a part three and they’re probably going to shoot it at the same time…If we just do two and then wait, I’ll probably be 45 or 50 by the time we get to part three. It takes a long time, it’s a very hard process.”
So, James Cameron’s films will be shooting both films consecutively, a la Lord Of The Rings, and it’s said that the shoot will begin in 2014. »

Zoe Saldana Says Avatar Sequels Will Begin Filming Back-To-Back In Early 2014
6 May 2013 2:57 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Zoe Saldana certainly has a busy schedule in the coming years. In addition to returning as Uhura in May 17th's Star Trek Into Darkness, the actress also recently committed to playing Gamora in Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy (which will begin filming next month for an August 1st, 2014 release). But where do James Cameron's planned sequels to Avatar fit in? Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show recently, Saldana confirmed that she will begin filming the sequels in early 2014 (despite the previously suggested late 2013 start date). She also reiterated likely plans to shoot the films back-to-back. "I think that they're doing a part two and a part three and they're probably going to shoot it at the same time...If we just do two and then wait, I'll probably be 45 or 50 by the time we get to part three.

Zoe Saldana can proudly claim to be part of some massive movie franchises. She’s about to play Uhura for the second time in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness.

Saldana even suggested that James Cameron would film Avatar 2 and 3 back-to-back. “Because if we just do two and then wait, I'll probably be 45 or 50 by the time we get to part three.
