@@MrBibi86 The next delay might be with part 4. He's already suggested it will take at least 3 years to do it after part 3, which is a year later than the date Disney announced. He said in another interview he just laughed whenever Fox or Disney announced dates for the Avatar sequels.
James Cameron is THE MAN! He looks so cool here. I don't see how you can call him an "asshole" when you watch JC do interviews like this. He's confident. Not arrogant. Those are two very different things. Given the enormous success of Titanic and Avatar, Cameron has every reason to be confident.
I now understand why cameron's films are my favorites more than any other. We literally think EXACTLY the same. Its insane how much we have in common!!! Nature lovers for the win ;)!!!!!
Sounds unfair to me that people wanna put him down just because he has made so much money. Every director in hollywood is ripping their movies from someone else. Cameron has movies with concepts that are not unique but his movies are good because he executes them extremely well.
A spectacular visual experience unlike anything you've seen before. It's the experience, more than the story, that's worth celebrating here. For all its powerful technologies, Avatar can't get out from under its essential cardboardness. Alternates between a slurry of Franz Marc expressionism and the most elaborate Thundercats episode ever made When all the hype and hullabaloo about Avatar calms down, we will be left with a film that's no masterpiece, but still well worth seeing.
James Cameron said it himself the best. We should gain an emotional reaction from Avatar, and translate that emotional response into action. I know many people who have received an emotional response, yet they have moved on... It's disappointing.
Cameron's contribution to mainstream cinema is fairly substantial, but surely people watching this interview smile when he says that he doesn't want to "make the same thing twice."
i love all the comments. Everyone talks they could even do a fraction of what is being said here. Personally I think movies are a very underrated entertainment. It should be more like going to the Opera, like a big event that only happens a few times a year.
I friggin' loved Avatar.I don't care about what all of these haters have to say, it blew me away when I saw it in theaters for the first time. Hell, since then I've seen it at least 7 times.
I loved the movies that you mentioned. I just wanted to see your taste in movies. I like Cameron`s movies, yes, but there are others i like more than him: Kubrick, Tarantino, Almodovar, Scorsese... to name a few. So i`m not such a big fan, but i like the fact that he`s a perfectionist and a very creative person. Oscars don`t mean shit...well, in 90% of the cases, the movies that won an oscar, are good, at least from what i`ve seen, maybe not overall good, but got oscars for certain aspects.
@TheBoomViper most critics have said that it's really nothing special in terms of plot or story. just that it's an un-deniable technical achievement, and for many critics this has been enough to either overlook the story, or perhaps they didn't find the story as bad as I did. but nobody in their right mind could consider it a grandiose achievement in any area besides technology and visuals.
Avatar isn't overrated. It was just overhyped is all. I saw it opening day, so I wasn't bombared with hype before seeing it, because nobody saw it before me. And from that point of view, I loved it. Though I will admit, it's not my "favourite" James Cameron movie. My favourites are still Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Aliens. Those are some of the best movies out there. :)
"Terminator 2 - Judgement day" was the peak of his creativity and by my opinion the peak in film industry by any criteria (True masterpiece). He created parallel reality with enormous details and background and 100s and 100s of hours of expensive movie material just to make it more realistic in a final cut. "The Terminator" and "Aliens" were fantastic but Avatar is only hi-tech first look make-up lame-hollywood movie.
a bold and imaginative vision brought low by a script that plays it very, very safe And for the epic battle at the end, well let me just say it's as believable as the Ewoks beating the Empire at the end of Return of the Jedi. It's a remote-control movie experience, a high-tech "wish you were here" scribbled on a very expensive postcard. The film gets the closest any has to fulfilling the 3-D format's fundamental mission of creating a new, immersive way of looking at movies.
The last film I recommended to my friends was Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. And now they don't talk to me. Similarly a friend said I should see Pacific Rim, and I fell asleep. Which surprised me because it was made by one of my favourite directors, who in this case didn't seem to really care what story he was telling.
To be honest I didn't read the article. But I was trawling through you tube clips one day and I happened upon Harlan Ellison talking about the whole incident, and then subsequently read about it possibly in Wikipedia. But the biggest thing that convinced me it was true was the enormous credit that is pasted onto the end of Terminator. It was when Harlan Elison approached him only did he fess up.
Yeah, but there's the Berlin Film Festival, The Rotterdam Film Festival, The London Film Festival, The Sydney Film Festival, The Melbourne Film Festival, The Cannes Film Festival, et al. Which all give awards, and it's a minor technicality, but the Oscars are actually called the AAMPAS Awards, that's the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I don't think anyone has called it the GREATEST international film award, it's just the most heavily sponsored. Usually...
I would die a happy man if James Cameron did a live action adaption that is really faithful to the source material of NEON GENESIS EVANGLION broken up into a trilogy...
If you ever watch Titanic beyond the cheezeness of the main love story and set eyes on the back story of the tragedy the Titanic sinking was, then you can really appreciate the genius of the Titanic movie
I`m just talking about The Terminator 2, i don`t care about the rest. It`s got like 4 oscars or something, anyway. Not really a masterpiece, in the true sense, i got carried away there, but nonetheless, for most of us, an incredible movie, for it`s time and for it`s genre. And yeah, Titanic is an epic movie, whoever disagrees, doesn`t know the meaning of the word epic...Anyway, this was strictly about Cameron and his oscars. Tell me 3 of your favorite movies. I`m serious. Cheers.
anyone who is saying that james cameron is full of him self or avatar is not a big deal is extremely art-blind and only an the artists know that because only people with this kind of vision can understand for real the brilliance of avatar and jims vision for it
Isn't the last frontier still to have a completely CG human as a full character throughout the movie, complete with close-ups? Avatar 2 is still depending on the fact that none of us have a "real" Na'vi to compare these characters to.
if it runs out of imagination and even some credibility when it comes to the plot, well, there is still enough on the screen to qualify as entertaining eye candy Nothing destroys a decent movie more than calling it great, and while this one's a little better than decent, it's definitely a long way from great Action-heavy epic has dazzling effects, familiar story. For all its flaws as art, Mr. Cameron has served up functional entertainment with a gigantic price tag
What is the final scene of Goodfellas? Its him talking about how brilliant it was being a gangster and saying how much he preferred it to living a normal life. Showning that has character hasn't morally developed throughout the course of the film. There's no real evolution in his character. He's the same guy he was at the start of the film.
your damn right! an oscar doesnt mean anything, "the Wrestler" and "the Dark Knight" weren't nominated for best picture, but so what? they're still great films, "Goodfellas" lost to "Dances with wolves" but still is a better film than the "Best picture", and even if "Schindlers list" didn't win the Best picture, nothing would change how great it was. the guy's in charge of the oscars are just film snobs who never nominated "the Wrestler" just because it wasn't too "Tour de force" enough.
Avatar is overlong, dramatically two-dimensional, smug and simplistic. In spite of the amazing effects, it's yet another lemon from Cameron... A wonder to behold, a story to forget. And with this, the film decade comes to a disappointing conclusion. Forget dancing with wolves, howzabout doing the Funky Chicken with aliens? Avatar is great to look at, often astonishing and sometimes beautiful. But, oh, is the story pedestrian. Enough toys to please all the kiddies in the audience.
If it trys to cover philosophical elements without taken story into consideration it weakens the film. If it's a story were the characters don't develop (like Goodfellas) or have any real internal journey (again like Goodfellas) then it weakens the film. Sarah Connor in T1 clearly changes and evolves as a character from the way she is at the start, to how she is at the end of the film.
Avatar was good but the Na'vi learning was really boring, you have to give him credit for creating the whole mythology behind the Na'vi people and Pandora. Best sci-fi in years. He is the only director in history(i think) who can make great acion, great plot, great comedy, great romance, great sci-fi and even great horror.
I did think it was a shitty thing that Cameron tried to do, and get away with. For a long time I thought he was the 'king of sequels', now I just see him for what he is, which is a film technologist who is forward thinking, but my love of films and his come from a different place. I like boring things like story and character, and I think it's evident that Cameron doesn't care about those things, except as vehicles to carry his 'vision', which I think is Scheiße
Regardless of how I came across, I'm not angry. Film is art, and art is subjective, so like you've suggested, there is no right or wrong when discussing film (that's what makes discussing film fun). Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, so what's the point in getting angry about it? They're nothing more than mere opinions. Moreover, in short, Avatar was a giant "tree hugger" movie. If you can't practice what you preach, then you probably shouldn't be preaching at all.
You're talking of a critical flop, my point was that it was his biggest box-office flop. I don't think the winning of an Academy Award negates the fact that most people couldn't stand the corniest ending to a movie ever. And I think he deserved that award - James Cameron has progressed the technology of films possibly more than Kubrick. Who, incidentally, only ever won one academy award; for Best Special Effects. There the comparison ends.
Goodfellas is a well told story with no moral center or purpose. The film has no concept of good or bad. In The Godfather it at least shows the characters decent into evil, Goodfellas is ambivalent to there behavior and morality itself. The fact is it has become popular to attack Cameron due to his success. But T1 is a masterpiece and a perfect film.
Although I will admit that I sounded like a complete pompous ass when I wrote that, I still don't believe Cameron to be as great as everyone claims. And although this may be irrelevant, but most film enthusiasts would agree that almost any PTA, Scorsese, Coen, and for the most part, even Nolan film is better than Cameron. Plus, I don't like the guy because he's arrogant and a hypocrite. You should search up the video on CZcams called "James Cameron - Hypocrite," It's very interesting.
Good point, not that I think Avatar had a bad message or anything, what I dislike most about Cameron in that he is a plagiarist. Every film he's 'written' was stolen.
@Hoppus217 If you think Avatar sucked, what's an example of a movie which doesn't suck? In your opinion, which movie has a thick plot with well-built characters?
im not really a cameron fan , i felt avatars plot was a bit thin and relied more on a focus on the visual element of the film. I also feel the film went on for too long and within the first hour i was bored by the shallow story line and the amazing special effects ceased to amaze me.
But we don't talk about writing a filmscript, we talk about the story itself, the main plot.And the Terminator-plot shows an almost startling similarity to Anthony Lawrence's "The man who was never born" (The Outer Limits).
i love for James Cameron thinks he invented 3D up on his high pedestal. remember, before Avatar there was The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D. this hippie...
i would ask only one question to him " how do you go from directing something as phenomenal as titanic to something shitty, pointless, boring, exhausting and unoriginal as avatar?
You were good until you mentioned Nolan, he is highly overrated. TDK is an ok film but not nearly the masterpiece it claims to be. Terminator is a masterpiece just as its sequel, Titatic was amazing, Alies is the best of the franchise and Avatar is the only good sci-fi film of the century(although by far his weakest film). I hated how cocky he was about Avatar and i was even glad he didn't got the Oscar for Best Picture but he is still insanely talented.
"I dont want to take 12 years"
Takes 12 years
Avatar 2 scheduled Dec. 2022. 13 years later 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😃🤣😄😃😃😄😄😄
Avatar 3 is in post-production which is good. won't have to wait 12 years for that lol
@@MrBibi86 The next delay might be with part 4. He's already suggested it will take at least 3 years to do it after part 3, which is a year later than the date Disney announced. He said in another interview he just laughed whenever Fox or Disney announced dates for the Avatar sequels.
He has the Terminator's arm as a trophy on his desk.
Badassery Incarnate.
***** Good thing Linda didn't take that away from him
He would have terminated her if she tried.
Such a good director. It really comes out in this interview how smart this man is.
He has only made classics all around
James Cameron is THE MAN! He looks so cool here. I don't see how you can call him an "asshole" when you watch JC do interviews like this. He's confident. Not arrogant. Those are two very different things. Given the enormous success of Titanic and Avatar, Cameron has every reason to be confident.
“ As filmmakers if we can imagine it we can create it.”
True 🎉 imagination is limitless
He's a very good director..
No shit he s on of the best
I love him so much
I now understand why cameron's films are my favorites more than any other. We literally think EXACTLY the same. Its insane how much we have in common!!! Nature lovers for the win ;)!!!!!
Sounds unfair to me that people wanna put him down just because he has made so much money. Every director in hollywood is ripping their movies from someone else. Cameron has movies with concepts that are not unique but his movies are good because he executes them extremely well.
AVATAR is one of the greatest artistic achievements in a long while.
HIS NAME IS JAMES!!! JAMES CAMERON!! EXPLORER OF THE SEA!!!!!
+Kilyan Wierema No see too deep, no budget to steep!!!
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!
James Cameron raised the bar again!
I can't help but notice the Terminator arm in the background from the second terminator film. ;D
Avatar is the best sci-fi film of all time.
Cameron has done so many different films and stories. Just like Stanley Kubrick did.
he is such an intelligent human
A spectacular visual experience unlike anything you've seen before.
It's the experience, more than the story, that's worth celebrating here.
For all its powerful technologies, Avatar can't get out from under its essential cardboardness.
Alternates between a slurry of Franz Marc expressionism and the most elaborate Thundercats episode ever made
When all the hype and hullabaloo about Avatar calms down, we will be left with a film that's no masterpiece, but still well worth seeing.
I love how the interviewers stare into their guests eyes during the introduction. I've watched three and they all started the same way lol.
James Cameron said it himself the best. We should gain an emotional reaction from Avatar, and translate that emotional response into action. I know many people who have received an emotional response, yet they have moved on... It's disappointing.
Dear Mr. Cameron, The next time you're making a film about the Titanic, I would love if you would ask me. I'M AT YOUR DISPOSAL
Best director world have
the terminator arm from t2 and the wheel from titanic in the background
Not forgetting the jet from True Lies :)
Cameron's contribution to mainstream cinema is fairly substantial, but surely people watching this interview smile when he says that he doesn't want to "make the same thing twice."
Mr Cameron, please write and direct another Alien movie. Aliens is the best movie in the franchise. I'd love to see what you would come up with.
This guy should’ve done a Star Wars episode
Yes he takes another 12 years for avatar 2
" Go swim in a corral reef " yeah mate ive got the cash cheers why didnt i think of it ?
Terminator and Aliens are both Sci-Fi Master piece!
i love all the comments. Everyone talks they could even do a fraction of what is being said here. Personally I think movies are a very underrated entertainment. It should be more like going to the Opera, like a big event that only happens a few times a year.

@staticsynth1 Give me a fucking break, stop pissing on all the CG/concept artists who put their soul into that project.
My question would be shame you never made spiderman it was a great idea and who would have played spiderman back in 92?
@TheBoomViper most critics have said that it's really nothing special in terms of plot or story. just that it's an un-deniable technical achievement, and for many critics this has been enough to either overlook the story, or perhaps they didn't find the story as bad as I did. but nobody in their right mind could consider it a grandiose achievement in any area besides technology and visuals.

Haha damn, that would be epic.
If you ever watch Titanic beyond the cheezeness of the main love story and set eyes on the back story of the tragedy the Titanic sinking was, then you can really appreciate the genius of the Titanic movie
Yeah, I don't know if I can measure up to this. But I can try.
Nope 13 years later to be exact
Probably would have matched 12 exactly if not for COVID.
He should direct another Terminator movie! Or another Aliens movie... James Cameron, am sure there is more story telling from you in those movies.....
I`m just talking about The Terminator 2, i don`t care about the rest. It`s got like 4 oscars or something, anyway. Not really a masterpiece, in the true sense, i got carried away there, but nonetheless, for most of us, an incredible movie, for it`s time and for it`s genre.

I would also wanna know the kind of phone James uses.
You would be suprised by how many companies don't as oppose to those who do.
avatar 2 and 3 have already been announced :/
search up the Cannes Film Festival.

Let me drop everything and pay to explore the ocean and go for a lovely stroll through the forest!
What is this? 26 dislikes from hair stylist?
@themainideais Yes, but he's saying that 3D conversion is usually very rushed, whereas he's really taking his time with Titanic's conversion.
What is the final scene of Goodfellas? Its him talking about how brilliant it was being a gangster and saying how much he preferred it to living a normal life. Showning that has character hasn't morally developed throughout the course of the film. There's no real evolution in his character. He's the same guy he was at the start of the film.
James Cameron has made some truly amazing films, Avatar is not one of them
You are an awesome researcher! I wish I had someone like you to work with.
your damn right! an oscar doesnt mean anything, "the Wrestler" and "the Dark Knight" weren't nominated for best picture, but so what? they're still great films, "Goodfellas" lost to "Dances with wolves" but still is a better film than the "Best picture", and even if "Schindlers list" didn't win the Best picture, nothing would change how great it was.

I LOVE HIS DESK!!!
Waiting for Avatar 2
What he just said about 3D is so true. I have gained a bit more respect for Mr. Cameron
Smart guy. Very Successful.
Avatar is overlong, dramatically two-dimensional, smug and simplistic.
In spite of the amazing effects, it's yet another lemon from Cameron...
A wonder to behold, a story to forget.
And with this, the film decade comes to a disappointing conclusion.
Forget dancing with wolves, howzabout doing the Funky Chicken with aliens?
Avatar is great to look at, often astonishing and sometimes beautiful. But, oh, is the story pedestrian.
Enough toys to please all the kiddies in the audience.
If it trys to cover philosophical elements without taken story into consideration it weakens the film. If it's a story were the characters don't develop (like Goodfellas) or have any real internal journey (again like Goodfellas) then it weakens the film.

Anyone else just hears the terminator music play in their heads after seeing the arm behind him?
No, it was Soldier. And I agree wholeheartedly with you re; The Outer Limits.
Avatar was good but the Na'vi learning was really boring, you have to give him credit for creating the whole mythology behind the Na'vi people and Pandora. Best sci-fi in years. He is the only director in history(i think) who can make great acion, great plot, great comedy, great romance, great sci-fi and even great horror.
Well it will have taken 11 years for another film from him, maybe.
did he say that he wrote towards visual goals?
so thats why the story of avatar sucked
That's why every superhero movie sucks.
@MrSatanochio These videos have been the source of much of my procrastination.
I did think it was a shitty thing that Cameron tried to do, and get away with. For a long time I thought he was the 'king of sequels', now I just see him for what he is, which is a film technologist who is forward thinking, but my love of films and his come from a different place. I like boring things like story and character, and I think it's evident that Cameron doesn't care about those things, except as vehicles to carry his 'vision', which I think is Scheiße
i want that t-800 hand on my desk, plizzz, or i'll be back
The spanish colonization? He never add the part about the indigenous being cruel to other tribes or sacrificing humans.
If he wasn't great he wouldn't be where he is today
i had a dream where cameron made the halo movie. PLEASE MAKE THAT A REALITY! do you people have ANY idea how awesome that would be?
❤️❤️TITANIC
WE DO TAKE A LOT FROM THE EARTH . . .
but blue fin tuna and tobiko caviar are sooo good!
Regardless of how I came across, I'm not angry. Film is art, and art is subjective, so like you've suggested, there is no right or wrong when discussing film (that's what makes discussing film fun). Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, so what's the point in getting angry about it? They're nothing more than mere opinions.
Moreover, in short, Avatar was a giant "tree hugger" movie. If you can't practice what you preach, then you probably shouldn't be preaching at all.
I completely agree
You're talking of a critical flop, my point was that it was his biggest box-office flop. I don't think the winning of an Academy Award negates the fact that most people couldn't stand the corniest ending to a movie ever. And I think he deserved that award - James Cameron has progressed the technology of films possibly more than Kubrick. Who, incidentally, only ever won one academy award; for Best Special Effects. There the comparison ends.
Goodfellas is a well told story with no moral center or purpose. The film has no concept of good or bad. In The Godfather it at least shows the characters decent into evil, Goodfellas is ambivalent to there behavior and morality itself.
The fact is it has become popular to attack Cameron due to his success. But T1 is a masterpiece and a perfect film.
Can I have that T800 arm over there?
Although I will admit that I sounded like a complete pompous ass when I wrote that, I still don't believe Cameron to be as great as everyone claims. And although this may be irrelevant, but most film enthusiasts would agree that almost any PTA, Scorsese, Coen, and for the most part, even Nolan film is better than Cameron.
Plus, I don't like the guy because he's arrogant and a hypocrite. You should search up the video on CZcams called "James Cameron - Hypocrite," It's very interesting.
@modernwarfare02 Normally, I'd agree but Hurt Locker absolutely deserved to win because it was the best movie.
Good point, not that I think Avatar had a bad message or anything, what I dislike most about Cameron in that he is a plagiarist. Every film he's 'written' was stolen.
@Hoppus217 If you think Avatar sucked, what's an example of a movie which doesn't suck? In your opinion, which movie has a thick plot with well-built characters?
So why did he allow Titanic to be converted into 3D given his thoughts in this interview?
I really wanted someone to ask, "Why did Jack dieeee?" or "wasn't there room for both of them on the chunk of wood?"
im not really a cameron fan , i felt avatars plot was a bit thin and relied more on a focus on the visual element of the film. I also feel the film went on for too long and within the first hour i was bored by the shallow story line and the amazing special effects ceased to amaze me.
I repurchased Avatar on blurry because of the man behind it.
But we don't talk about writing a filmscript, we talk about the story itself, the main plot.And the Terminator-plot shows an almost startling similarity to Anthony Lawrence's "The man who was never born" (The Outer Limits).
Just because the concepts are similar doesn't mean they are rip-offs.
i love for James Cameron thinks he invented 3D up on his high pedestal.
remember, before Avatar there was The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D.
this hippie...
did you honestly dis Goodfellas, Kubrick, and Inception? good luck in life
What was the power motivation for writing avatar?
i would ask only one question to him " how do you go from directing something as phenomenal as titanic to something shitty, pointless, boring, exhausting and unoriginal as avatar?
@EnergizerBunny804 most of the reviews are to that effect they either praise the visuals and knock the story, or just ignore the story all together
You were good until you mentioned Nolan, he is highly overrated. TDK is an ok film but not nearly the masterpiece it claims to be.
