James Cameron: Meet the box office king ahead of the release of Avatar 2

The sexuality is known To be able to occupy any position while filming. Some even go so far as to say that he is more competent than those he employs in these positions. “Let’s say I’m not his armchair type,” he admits. He makes it a point of honor to know enough fields to know exactly what he demands of his teams. John Landau, his longtime collaborator, told me, “Jim has an exceptional ability to succeed at understanding how things work — all things.” In addition to his remarkable intelligence, he has a knack for getting people involved in the process. “When you’re working on a James Cameron movie, you’re not just a tool,” says Zoe Saldana, who adds that such commitment to him takes a mind of steel: “If you can do it, go for it. It’s funny, it’s beautiful and very rewarding. But if you are Too sensitive, people will rush to take your place.” The actress smiles, explaining that the director sometimes forgets to eat because he is so focused: “If he starts to get angry, be sure to eat some chocolate and some nuts.”

If that’s amazing James Cameron has only made two feature films in the last twenty-five years, so it’s even more surprising that they’re two symbol picture, which should be followed by three more installments in the coming years. Why this creator known for having “50,000 ideas a day” follows the trend exclusively symbol picture ? The puzzle remains the same. This obsessive tendency is also found in his personal life. About ten years ago, he and his wife became staunch vegetarians. “I want to be able to help solve the problems plaguing the real world.” Shortly after the releasesymbol pictureSo the manager has considered meat consumption. “Eating meat is not a biological obligation, it is a choice and therefore a luxury,” he says. He and his wife collaborated on the 2018 Netflix documentary The Game Changers, which follows athletes who have adopted a vegan diet. Of course, he did not limit himself to this and himself created a company that produces pea protein, an increasingly attractive ingredient in meat substitutes. He has since parted ways with his company but, as usual, identified a problem and took all the time necessary to try and solve it.

And of course, there is his passion to underwater exploration, to which he has devoted himself seriously ever since Titanic Which almost makes him give up on the plateaus permanently. “I was so good that I didn’t direct any more films for eight years,” he recalled. He finally pitches the idea for the first Hollywood Avatar and, after massive commercial success, retires again. plunge into the abyss of the Mariana Trench. For a year and a half, I hesitated about making a sequel to symbol pictureHe explains to me. However, thoughts merge and he knows time is slipping through his fingers. “When, like me, you reach your well-written sixties, you understand that the ax can fall at any time. It might be next week, or it might be in thirty years. I definitely had to choose between making more movies and sequels.symbol picture, and I continue the underwater expeditions and ocean conservation projects I’ve always done on the sidelines of my career. Why not just focus on that? It’s more satisfying, in many ways.” But he eventually found his answer: “I understood that deep down I was a storyteller, and I had a story I wanted to tell.” symbol picture, he was able to explore everything he was interested in. Starting with his own psychological complexity, his tendency to reconcile his role as a father with those extreme projects he just can’t resist. A people, the Na’vi, who form a tight-knit community. A way of life connected to nature. “I can totally express myself about environmental conservation and sustainability, the pros and cons of technology, and where the human race is headed, as part of my being.” James Cameron told me he’s already started shooting the third movie symbol pictureThis was reflected in the first chapter of the fourth chapter. He already has a script for Part 5, which could only see the light of day if the saga continues to turn a profit in the meantime. It is likely that the director will not make any more movies outside of Pandora’s Moon. I ask him if he sees his films as a monument, a great edifice that he will leave behind for posterity. He replies, “It’s a very unhealthy idea.” “And then I’m far from done! For me, every idea, every project is in constant development.”
