Seriously, Don’t Send James Cameron Your Scripts

The extended Q&A transcript from James Cameron ‘s China-focused chat with the New York Times and The Economist reveals the extent of Cameron’s Avatar -tunnel vision. “I’ve divided my time over the last 16 years over deep ocean exploration and filmmaking. I’ve made two movies in 16 years, and I’ve done eight expeditions. Last year I basically completely disbanded my production company’s development arm. So I’m not interested in developing anything. 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.” Looks like it’ll be all Avatar , all the time from here on out, which is… good news?

Nervous Lake Havasu Officials Emphasize They’re Piranha-Free

Piranha 3D may have pumped $18 million into the economy around Lake Havasu, Arizona, but it also appears to have made very stupid tourists very scared. “One woman was bringing up to me that the movie was coming out, and she asked – as serious as serious can be – ‘Oh, but are there still piranha in the lake?'” one local resort owner told the LAT . “At first, I kind of took it as a joke. But then I let her know that that’s the computer-generated part of the movie. And she was very relieved, saying, ‘Oh, I’m so glad to hear that.'” I’ve been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of a response that obviously doesn’t exist, so… moving on, I think.
