James Cameron’s affinity for nature and his background as a scuba diver will come to ahead in the upcoming Avatar sequel. According to the UK site, The Daily Mail the director plans on transporting the film’s story into the deep, blue seas of Pandora, and he’ll take unprecedented measures to do it (no surprise there).
James Cameron is taking another step into the realm of television with a small screen adaptation of his 1994 hit True Lies. Remember the spy action film that featured Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Arnold, and that infamous Jamie Lee Curtis pole dancing scene?

The technological innovations that James Cameron have created makes him somewhat of a 3D connoisseur. He takes the medium very seriously and is not a fan of films that misuse and abuse the format. He recently spoke to Vanity Fair Magazine, and said that the new thriller Piranha 3D is “exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D.”
Well the producer of the film Mark Canton, took Cameron’s words to heart and wrote a long letter reminding the director that he “didn’t invent 3D.”

Fortunately, that’s a fate we no longer have to worry about because del Toro left the project and we never got to see what could have been. The director, has now moved on to another film and another geek god — James Cameron. Can we survive these two?
