James Cameron has THE DIVE on his mind?

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!
