James Cameron Reviews, Interviews & More
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...
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...
James Cameron is tired of hearing everyone say that Rose could have saved Jack's life--so, he's going to prove every skeptic wrong with an episode of MythBusters. Also this week, Disney released a new poster for Wreck-It Ralph, which we have for you below. And word is Community's...
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. Now Cameron has revealed he’s in the process of making up an ocean ecosystem for...
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 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...
Well, it seems any hopes of David Fincher directing the upcoming remake of Cleopatra (set to star Angelina Jolie as the Egyptian queen) have now been dashed after reports that talks between Sony and the filmmaker – who had been circling the project for months – have now broken off.
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.
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...
Fans of James Cameron’s earlier work (the first two Terminator films, Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies) have been waiting patiently for 15 years for the mercurial director to return to non-Avatar filmmaking, as not all of us have been fans of his Dances with Ferngully the Last...
Bad news for fans of Dances With Wolves in Ferngully the Last Rainforest Avatar—Fox had previously announced that the sequel, Avatar 2, would have a 2014 release date, with Avatar 3 to quickly follow in 2015. However, as /Film points out, Avatar 2 has no green light or official cast, and with James Cameron...
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...
This week Paramount acquired the rights to turn the famous Montreal-based circus Cirque du Soleil into a 3D movie... and thankfully, James Cameron, who is a master of the technology, has come aboard as producer. Also in the news this week is Kevin Smith: the indie director will be heading back to the big screen forone night, just to...
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...
Last week we reported that Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter, which opens with scenes from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, was pulled prematurely from Japanese theaters by Warner Bros. due to earthquake and subsequent tsunami which recently struck the country. Hereafter is not alone—Variety now reports that the Japanese release date for the James...
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...
Sanctum'sAustralian director Alister Grierson's has one source of audience bait: James Cameron's name in enormous, bold font in the center of his billboards. The multi-Oscar winning director/writer/producer acts as an EP on this shipwreck of a film (pun INTENDED) about stranded (!!!) scuba divers. Sanctum is...
With a majority of the country's eyes glued to the big screen for Sunday's Super Bowl, look for this weekend's box office to be ruled by low-grade teen horror fare with Gossip Girl Alum Leighton Meester's The Roommate, Oscar Nominees such as The King's Speech, action flick holdovers The Mechanic/The Green Hornet...
Are you anxiously awaiting news about the next installments in James Cameron's Avatar trilogy? Well, you're in luck because the Oscar winning director recently opened about about his plans for the projects. It's no secret that the movies will take a lot of time and effort to complete, therefore Cameron plans on shooting them not back to back -- but simultaneously....
