Late to the party as ever, I decided to tie this Top Ten in with the recent release of the first Avatar teaser and the hype and debate that has ignited off the back of it.

The revolutionary Avatar, whether instant classic or expensive mistake, will be warmly welcomed into public consciousness by yours truly as it will mark the return to the big screen after a twelve year absence of one of my favourite writers and directors of all time: Mr. James Cameron.

Cameron has long been a cinematic visionary and has helped shape modern cinema as we know it, yet he doesn’t always get the credit and/or recognition he deserves.

So with Avatar right around the corner, here are ten reasons why we should all be very excited about the return of James Cameron, as we count down the Top Ten Works of James Cameron.




#10
Rambo: First Blood Part II
(1985)
Writer

Granted, to make this into a Top Ten I’ve had to include some tenuous Cameron movie involvements, but I couldn’t very well include Piranha II: The Spawning could I? (As much as I would have liked to).

So, sort of a cheat including this here, as Stallone basically ate Cameron’s script for Rambo: First ...]]></description>

I’d never been to an IMAX screening before. They’re massive screens aren’t they? Almost like an entire wall…a tsunami-like wave…where images threaten to pulverise the audience. And this seems to be James Cameron’s intentions for the 3-D release of his latest film Avatar. It is pure Cameron: loud, brash, macho, stupid and occasionally breathtaking. A publicity representative gave a little speech before the film and completely stone-faced said: “This could be the greatest film of all-time.”

The entire audience laughed. Quite audibly.

The fifteen minute clip introduces the character of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) on a spaceship with a startling, albeit, much more expensive-looking set design reminiscent of Aliens (1986).



There’s even cryogenic sun-bed-type thing. And Sigourney Weaver plays a doctor!



The rest of the preview footage is set on the alien planet, Pandora and introduces the Na’vi beings who look, quite frankly, like they belong in an Xbox 360 game…or something like that. There are also dinosaur-type beasts and flying dragons too. It is all remarkable looking and yet strangely distancing. Asking the audience to emotionally invest in a story of cartoon-looking giant blue aliens…it is a bit mad, and I’m sure Cameron is holding some wonderful stuff back for the big release. ...]]></description>

OWF's Martyn Conterio is back with another quick report from a screening he attended yesterday. This time there's no embargo as an excuse for why there isn't a full write up. Just plain laziness, rather sleep than write-up about the movie, kind of attitude. 

Should I fire him?
I saw it at the IMAX this evening...I actually felt sick after it...not just because of the awful dialogue...but if Cameron thinks a film that looks like an Xbox game is the future of cinema...then he's mental. The swooshing camera and blurry photography made me sick...something I haven't felt in a cinema since I saw Irreversible.
Anyway I've told him to get his ass together and write up a full report. But it's the weekend, so you might have to wait a while. Until then The Playlist have about as detailed a look at the footage as you're probably going to find. ]]></description>

After a tirade of technical issues which blighted what should have been the pain-free debut of Avatar, the last big movie spectacle of the decade and James Cameron's first feature film since Titanic, you can finally watch the trailer hitch free. But honestly, you are set for dissapointment. It's available at Apple or HERE and HERE. Just remember you can't ever go back from this moment. You will forever think of Avatar the way this trailer depicts it. Good luck!




You may have to forgive me for being a little harsh on Jim but for months on end he has been using phrases such as "game-changer", "cutting edge" and the "future of film-making" when referring to Avatar but really, it just ain't all that, is it? Based on this evidence it's not going to radically change anything when it opens on Dec. 18th.





Sure, Avatar looks (and remember that's mostly all we have to go on here because the trailer contains only one line of dialogue and no explanation of the plot/world we are witnessing) to me like I will get my money's worth and compared to the rest of what Hollywood is spending money on these days it looks like a ...]]></description>

The first real important set of images have been released from James Cameron's Avatar, and well - they just don't really feel that important!

I'm too distanced from this movie right now. I barely know what it's really about (I know the plot but not it's substance), I don't care about these characters, it's just a bunch of boring images of actors in different locations. And the "money shot" image of the bunch showing the first glimpse at the huge battles we have been promised, just looks like it was translated directly from a video game or from the Lucas Studio. 

Hopefully they will look better in motion.

Later today, at 7am EST (lunch time ish in the U.K.) the teaser trailer will hit online, one full day before the Avatar special 15 minute 3-D IMAX screenings across the world.

I'm not 100% sure this is the first poster from James Cameron's Avatar, I vaguely remember seeing a site post this around the time of Comic Con - but I can't be sure. 

I've actually purposefully tried NOT to post too much about the much anticipated 3-D epic that is coming this fall, mainly because I wanna be amazed and unspoilt when it opens. The less I know, and I can guarantee it'll be the same for you, the better. 

For now I'm quite happy just to see little glimpses and previews. I don't need anything heavy. In fact, if I had it my way, I would quite happily not even see a trailer for this thing. Wouldn't that make a welcome change?

Full poster of Zoe Saldana as the blue creature Neytiri after the jump and thanks to Latino Review for the heads-up...





They've waited over ten years to slap "From the director of Titanic" on a big tentpole movie, so we have to congratulate them for that, even if Terminator, Terminator 2, The Abyss and Aliens belong in the sci-fi genre this film encapsulates. 

Avatar opens Dec. 12th and if I were you, I would avoid EVERYTHING for this movie. Trust me, you'll enjoy it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in March of last year news came through the grapevine that David Fincher was going to team up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman to produce an animated feature based on 70s fantasy/erotica magazine Heavy Metal. At the time there was a fair amount of speculation as to which directors would be invited along to helm each of the film’s segments, with some hints that big names might be interested in contributing for what would be a relatively short gig. 

According to an interview with Eastman published over at Film School Rejects, they have secured some of the names he must have been hinting it. We now know the line-up will include the likes of James Cameron, Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski, in addition to Fincher himself with more to come. Extremely heavy metal indeed.



Heavy Metal was around well before my time, so I mainly know of it through its reputation, but a magazine which offered graphic sex and violence, a comic book adaptation of Paradise Lost and interviews with Roger Corman and Federico Fellini is clearly a force to be reckoned with. Add the visionary talents of people such as Cameron and Fincher to the equation and it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I couldn't tell what was real and what was animated--even knowing that the 9-ft.-tall blue, dappled dude couldn't possibly be real" said Josh Quittner regarding some footage of AVATAR he saw recently for Time Magazine.
The scenes were so startling and absorbing that the following morning, I had the peculiar sensation of wanting to return there, as if Pandora were real.
Now if you're a film fan, that's the quote that gets you excited for AVATAR, James Cameron's over ten year in the making 3-D science fiction epic that will hit screens in December. 



But if you're a guy who likes to follow the business side of the movie industry, the same piece in Time Magazine casually blurt out the information that over a thousand people have worked on putting the $300 million movie together, which easily makes it the most expensive film of all time. 

Previously Fox had stated the movie would cost $200 million.

Currently the most expensive film of all time is PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END which a few years ago was made for $300 million. But AVATAR's $300 million comes before the expensive marketing, advertising and distributing stage.

In same article, which is well worth your time... Cameron insists every ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["the rumor mill is grinding out mostly spurious stuff", says James Cameron on the rumor that he has already rejected EIGHT trailers for AVATAR because he wasn't happy with the way they depicted his movie. 
…I have no idea where that [rumor] came from but I haven’t rejected any trailers (yet) since I haven’t seen any yet. They’re still workingon them for presentation, which presumably will be soon. 
Personally, I'm delighted that we know virtually zero about James Cameron's first feature film since TITANIC some nine months before it's release.



Too often we know way too much about upcoming movies, and of course I'm guilty of this too ploughing through any scripts that I come across and daily, telling you more information than you probably ever need to know about any given movie, but to do you remember when you saw CLOVERFIELD? When you knew virtually nothing about it? Do you remember how great that feeling was?



How rare the "not knowing" is in this industry.

How privilaged we are to have a movie that we can only imagination what it will look like at this point, it's not been spoon-fed to us. We don't know every beat of the movie from the trailers, like say ...]]></description>

I previously vowed not to post any behind-the-scenes images from James Cameron's AVATAR until we got an official frame or piece of artwork from the movie because I almost don't wanna know what it's going to look like until I see something finished.

Actually if I had my way, I would love to go into the AVATAR screening at Christmas without seeing anything at all.

Because I know that Cameron is creating something that we simply haven't ever seen before. Imagine if we could all witness it together for the first time in the theatre...

So Cameron, please. Don't show us too much, too early.

I think I'm right in saying you have us all hooked already. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend it was confirmed that James Cameron has been sent the J. Michael Straczynski (CHANGELING, Babylon 5) script for the FORBIDDEN PLANET remake Joel Silver is producing at Warner Bros. and completely fell in love with what he saw and is now anxious to direct the story himself and even turn it into a franchise trilogy.



There's even an outline of how the three movies would develop thanks to Latino Review. Those familiar with the original 1956 classic will note that the first movie would be a prequel (well I guess not really as this is a reboot but you get the idea)...
Movie One tells the story of the original ship that came to Altair 4.

Movie Two tells the story of the search for the Krell by the captain of the Bellerophon and his crew...as Diana continues to grow into something profoundly other-wordly. The search takes them beyond the limits of known space into other dimensions, passing from what's known into what's not.

Movie Three tells the story of the second ship to arrive at Altair 4 to investigate what happened to the Bellerophon. They discover Morbius and his "daughter," who is desperate to get off the planet and out ...]]></description>

I'm Jonay Bacallado, the author of the images. They are part of my artwork, my personal artwork, and it has nothing to do with the actual concept art of the film. The interview has been removed from www.plansiete.com as well, I've spoken about his incident with responsibles of the program, because information it's not accurate, and things can be misunderstood. Please, I have to ask you to remove this information, because the images shown are part of my own portfolio, no one has asked for authorisation, and of course,and most importantly, those designs have nothing to do with the real concepts and designs. I spoke during the interview about my experience, images were taken from my website, and they asume they are real concept art, but is not. The editing odf the video is quite confussing and may lead people to think it's the real concept art done, but it's not!!! Just to emphasise what I'm trying to explain mention that the design of characters have been done by another team, and we only get invlolved in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the release of a slew of highly anticipated, but ultimately lukewarm blockbusters this year (bar THE DARK KNIGHT of course), it's hard not to become skeptical about the prospect of more over-hyped franchise reinventions.

The remarkably unremarkable fourth INDIANA JONES flick, another disappointing HULK installment, the by no means staggering new bond adventure QUANTUM OF SOLACE, along with a suspicious glance at next year's STAR TREK prequel that begs to differ with the artistic choices of helmer J.J Abrams, have all gone their way to unintentionally disillusion the hefty fanbase.

And of course, this on the back of the 'shock horror' news that CHARLIE'S ANGELS' director McG won the directorial duties to revive the five year dormant TERMINATOR franchise.



Thankfully the unfortunately named filmmaker (who openly apologies for his childhood nickname) won over the assembled audience lucky enough to be granted a sneak peek at his 2009 summer blockbuster TERMINATOR SALVATION this week. The raw footage that was aired at the Vue venue in London on Tuesday evening was laudable enough to convince even the most dumbfounded that the director might actually possess the chops to pull this project off.



The tag-line is 'The End Begins' and McG delivers some exhilarating set pieces ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably the project we are gleefully excited to see any kind of of footage for is James Cameron's 3D sci-fi movie AVATAR and how exciting it is to stumble across an image like the one below at AICN...


A close up of the image indicates that the footage, probably a trailer, is 3:57 minutes long.

Though it could also be a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the movie or instead maybe four full minutes of footage. Or it could easily be a fake, who knows?

Whatever it is, one would point to THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, the big 20th Century Fox Christmas tentpole as being the prime location to debut.

AICN have a direct line to James Cameron, so keep on the lookout over their for official confirmation from the man himself on this one. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James Cameron appeared on CBC's "The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos" last night and spoke about his career, why he hasn't got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, what really happened with PIRANHA II, what it's like to really be nominated for Academy Awards and of course his return to movies next year with AVATAR.



He says he is working on the effects for the movie right now but it's on course for it's late 2009 release.


AVATAR will blend of live-action photography and new virtual photorealistic production techniques invented by Cameron’s team, and promises to completely blow our minds. The film contains six fully CGI actors known as ’synthespians’. It’s needless to say that images from this movie are some of the most anticipated out of anything currently in production right now.

Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi star among others. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing you should never do, is trust a liar.

And when we found it hard enough to trust McG, the director of CHARLIE'S ANGELS with a TERMINATOR IV summer tentpole anyway, to find out he is a bare faced liar is rather disappointing.



Remember back when McG proudly announced he had the blessing of TERMINATOR creator James Cameron for his new movie? Well you don't need to remember, you can see the video evidence HERE. Well he lied, so says Cameron to the National Post...
“It could be a big steaming pile or it could be brilliant. Sam Worthington is in the Avatar and the new Terminator and he likes the script, but I never saw it. There was no blessing involved.”
So, does that mean that Warner Bros. "blessing" for McG to make a R-Rated TERMINATOR IV also bullshit?

I would say so, they ain't no way WB would not make a PG-13 version, even if it's a loose PG-13 like THE DARK KNIGHT was.

		<description><![CDATA[Linda Hamilton's reps have suggested that the 51 year old actress would be very interested in hearing about a potential part or cameo in the upcoming Terminator Salvation after rumors yesterday were spread across the web claiming she had already agreed on a return.


Hamilton who hasn't been in a big movie for 11 years since Dante's Peak, turned down the opportunity of renewed exposure and a big paycheck when she said no to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on the grounds that she wouldn't do a Terminator movie without her ex husband director James Cameron.

But maybe financial times are a little harder on here now and the roles getting more difficult to come by and the fact that McG has held several talks and seems to have the blessing of Cameron - she may be inclined to change her mind.

Terminator Salvation is currently filming for a May 2009 release. Christian Bale leads the movie as John Connor who must lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators in the year 2018. Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Roland Kickinger, Moon Bloodgood, Jadagrace and Helena Bonham Carter star.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
AS
THE TERMINATOR 

Unless you’ve been living under an extremely large rock for the last few years, I don’t think I need to go into great detail on what Arnie is up to at present, but long before he was The Governator, he was a largely unknown bodybuilder looking to get into the movies. ‘The Austrian Oak’s first film role was in the 1970 comedy HERCULES IN NEW YORK, following his debut, more film roles soon followed, including a Golden Globe winning performance in STAY HUNGRY in 1976. Schwarzenegger’s big break though came in 1982’s CONAN THE BARBARIAN which was a box office smash and was quickly followed by a less successful sequel; CONAN THE DESTROYER in 1984.


It was his performance as the cyborg sent back through time in THE TERMINATOR though that is his most iconic and fondly remembered performance, though he initially didn’t want to play the ‘bad guy’, director James Cameron convinced Schwarzenegger that playing The Terminator would be the definitive performance that would make his career… And he was right.

The rest of the eighties were spent carving out ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the second time in just over a month, directing genius James Cameron has reiterated the fact that he wants to direct a smaller movie after he is done with his massive three year plus project Avatar.

Can't blame him - too many projects like Avatar can make you old very quickly!

From The Hollywood Reporter...
On the director's sonar is "The Dive," a true story about the romance between controversial Cuban free diver Francisco "Pipin" Ferreras and Frenchwoman Audrey Mestre. Under his guidance, Mestre became a free diver who broke several world records but died in 2002 while competing. (Free-diving competitors must hold their breath for long periods of time while deep under water.)
This guy is obsessed with water ain't he, do you think he feels like a frustrated fish?

Last month Cameron said similar sentiments to Variety letting people know that he intended to direct a small 3-D movie next and that drama's like
Atonement if done in this format can be just as thrilling and exciting as big budget summer tentpoles.

An interesting idea and I can see what he means but I need to see it in practice before I'm convinced.

Just like I said last month... as long as he keeps working! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filmmaker Damien Lichtenstein (3000 Miles to Graceland) has been mentored over the last year by the great James Cameron during the shoot of his latest epic Avatar and according to Variety, he wants to put what he has learnt to some good use for the medium he calls "the future of filmmaking".

They say Lichtenstein will direct Relentless, a live action 3-D movie that is being budgeted at $25 million by Baldwin Entertainment and will shoot this September in Puerto Rico with Karl Urban set to star.


It’s the story of four extreme sports professionals who survive a plane crash in the Amazon jungle, and must use all their survival instincts as they are hunted by a group of homicidal natives.
It's kind of like Lost but with a crew that are very much already acquainted with each other and instead of anything mystical like "The Others" - these are vicious homicidal natives.

Jungle/Lost movies seem to be all the rage recently and Karl Urban has been attached to several action movies in the last 12 months for none of them to really work out. I would like to see this one actually make it into production, if nothing else to see exactly what ...]]></description>
