10 Filmmakers Who Stepped Out Of Their Comfort Zone
Actors aren't the only ones who get typecast and put into a category. Prestigious filmmakers are almost always given projects that fit their signature work. You usually don't hear of a horror filmmaker directing a romantic comedy, per say. But every now and then, directors will venture outside of their comfort zones and shock us with something truly different, as Michael Bay is trying this...

'Avatar' Sequels: James Cameron Gives A Status Update

Published by

James Cameron
It’s been all of three years since James Cameron’s Dances with Ferngully the Last Rainforest Avatar was released and became the highest grossing film in human history.  And, in that time, Cameron—when not setting other world records, this time for deep sea diving—has been slowly building the CGI worlds and ecosystems that will make up the worlds of Avatar 2...

Blu-ray and DVD Releases for September 11-17

Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic
If you wanted to see the movie that caused a starlet to publicly apologize for having sex with her director… If you ever wanted to see an interesting Indie actress make the generic rom-com that is required of all young performers… If you ever wanted to see that movie from 1997 that made so much money about the unsinkable boat that sank, then this is a good week for DVD and Blu-ray.

There’s been much talk of the upcoming Avatar films recently; last week, producer Jon Landau clarified that they would be shooting the second and third Avatar films back-to-back, then James Cameron chimed in that if there was to be a fourth film, it would be a prequel.

Seeing how much James Cameron invested into creating and constructing the world of Avatar, it makes sense that the director of such films as Terminator, Aliens and Titanic would eventually become trapped by that investment, and locked into making at least two sequels to the CGI’d blockbuster (see also: Peter Jackson and his...

'Avatar' Sequels are Coming... But Maybe Not as Many as Rumored

Published by

Avatar
Avatar was one of those "once in a lifetime" moments in cinema. It was a phenomenon in theaters, where it made an unprecedented $2.78 Billion dollars worldwide, and more than $750 Million domestic. At the same time, three years after the 2009 release of the film, it's hard to say if people are clamoring for more. Though there were jokes about the obsessed fans, the...

When movie mogul James Cameron told The New York Times that he was "in the Avatar business – period," he wasn't joking. Sigourney Weaver just told Showbiz 411 that she'll be spending an unspecified amount of time filming back-to-back-to-back sequels of Avatar.

Will James Cameron Become the Next George Lucas?

Love him or hate him, director James Cameron has never been one to play it safe. But Cameron just announced that he is not open to developing any projects, original or otherwise, in the near future. Instead he will focus entirely on directing sequels to his groundbreaking 3D epic Avatar. This is cause for concern. In the past, some directors opted to coast off huge...

He may be, by all accounts, a dictatorial machine while on the sets of his films, but you’ve got to hand it to director James Cameron (Avatar, Terminator 2)—the man commits.   The man who directed The Abyss, and who has long had a passion for oceanography, spent last Sunday completing the deepest solo ocean dive...

Disney World Looking to Add Avatar-based Theme Land

Avatar - Neytiri Teaches Jake Archery
Avatar is the most successful (unadjusted) film to ever play in American theaters, but though James Cameron has been talking sequels, it's hard to weigh the film's cultural weight. Perhaps the blue paint has kept it from being a hot-button Halloween costume (that and the nudity), but it's two years later, and it's unknown when it will it be sequelized, and there...

The heavily marketed "James Cameron Production" Sanctum, directed by the clearly inexperienced Alister Grierson swamps theaters this Friday. It's safe to assume that most people would interpret Cameron's E.P. credit as a ringing endorsement of quality cinema. I, however, know it to be Universal's deceptive maneuver to bait fools to the box office. Check out the...
