James Cameron will only make 'Avatar' movies from now on

[Super-VHS]

“I’m in the Avatar business. Period. That’s it. I’m making Avatar 2, Avatar 3, maybe Avatar 4, and I’m not going to produce other people’s movies for them. I’m not interested in taking scripts…. I think within the Avatar landscape I can say everything I need to say that I think needs to be said, in terms of the state of the world and what I think we need to be doing about it. And doing it in an entertaining way.”

I think he also stated he would do documentaries..especially anything conerning or related to the oceans.

The linked article mentions this. Yes, he's still open to docus--he's working on one about his recent trip to the bottom of the ocean, I guess. But the only narrative films he'll make from now on are Avatar-related. No "Battle Angel".

I find it fascinating that he's given up on exec producing too (no doubt, a decision made in light of the underperformance of "Sanctum").

Ugh, this is depressing.

Yup. Especially because that Battle Angel sounded good too.

Well I guess I always wanted to know what happened after Dances with Wolves ended, now I will have some idea...and then after that...and after that part.

Until Gargamel shows up with his asshole cat. Smurfing mothersmufer can go smurf himself. Smurf.

Wonder what changed his mind. Wasn't it just a month or so back he reconfirmed doing Battle Angel after Avatar 2 and 3?

[thejnc]

Battle Angel still could happen.

Hey folks, Harry here... when the news of that James Cameron interview hit, where it seemed he had decided that he'd only ever make AVATAR movies for the rest of his life... I felt my soul drop a bit. I love AVATAR - and I am wholly intrigued by Cameron's assertion that he can tell all the stories he wants to tell through the metaphoric worlds he can explore in that cinematic universe... It reminds me of how John Ford used the Western or Alfred Hitchcock used the Suspense genre. Or George Lucas with STAR WARS. But... Goddammit, more than any AVATAR film, I'm dying to see Cameron tackle BATTLE ANGEL ALITA. I've been tracking that project with Jim for as long as that original treatment for AVATAR has been around. SO... I had to write Cameron to see if I should still cling to the hope that there will be a BATTLE ANGEL ALITA or if he was going to give up on it - and there would be a hope that another filmmaker might take it over. Here's what Cameron had to say...

"No. I still love that project. But Battle Angel is not going to happen for a few years." - Jim Cameron

Thank Christ! Alright folks, I can enjoy all the wonders of Pandora with the fanboy calm of knowing the the beautiful carnage of BATTLE ANGEL ALITA is in the distant future as a possibility. It will rip the spine clean from everything else. At least, that's what I imagine. So -
