Remember the exciting wordplay, dense mythology and rich characters in ‘Avatar’. No? How about the big ass tree that exploded at the end? Maybe that rings a bell. Or maybe what you  remember from James Cameron’s epic FX game changer is just one giant, swirling 3D collage of vibrant colors and sweet aerial battles. In [...]

Last week Warner Bros. reported that they had recruited Christopher  Nolan to mentor their dwindling ‘Superman’ franchise in hopes that he can infuse a little of the flair that helped make the current ‘Batman’ franchise such a monster success.

Avatar on Track $1 Billion? That Was the Plan

Not surprisingly, Messianic monster-brain James Cameron has devoured audiences worldwide with his technically astounding (and apparently far less important, horrendously written) film Avatar. In less than a month, he’s banked a few kilometric tons of money at the box office; already rivaling some other flick he made called Titanic. I’m sure Cameron saw this coming, [...]

James Cameron Developing New Sci-Fi Script

James Cameron’s latest feature, Avatar, hasn’t even been released yet, but it appears the director may already be starting another project.  Cameron is apparently working on a screenplay with Shane Salerno, who wrote Shaft, Armageddon, and Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem.
