James Cameron
James Francis Cameron (born August 16, 1954) is a Canadian film director, producer and screenwriter. He has written and directed films as disparate as Aliens and Titanic. To date, his directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$1.1 billion domestically, unadjusted for inflation. After a string of landmark feature films, Cameron turned his focus to documentary filmmaking and the co-development of the digital 3-D Fusion Camera System. He is currently working on a return to feature filmmaking with the science fiction film Avatar, which will make use of the Fusion Camera System technology. Avatar is scheduled for release in December 2009. (via Wikipedia)

DirectorCameron: Smoking in Avatar a Critique of Gamers
Anti-smoking watchdogs are up in arms about Sigourney Weaver’s character lighting up in the movie Avatar, but James Cameron says that her character’s cigarette habit was a critique of videogamers.

Biff Tannen Could Teach James Cameron a Thing or Two
So a few days ago James Cameron was caught telling a dude who was almost certainly an semi-pro autograph seeker and one of TMZ's soulless video providers to fuck off. Did Cameron know the hack was a hack, and that's why he told him to fuck off? We don't know. Did the hack actually pleasantly ask Cameron for an autograph only to receive that brusque reply?

Avatar Sequel Speculation Begins
Whenever a new movie becomes a worldwide phenomenon, there is inevitable talk of a sequel. To me, James Cameron’s Avatar was a nice, succinct, Disney-style fable about the evils of greed and Colonialism - a story that doesn’t necessarily need a follow-up. However, since Cameron himself let it be known early on that there is an Avatar 2 (and 3?) in the cards should [...]
