James Cameron opens up about the movies he's missed out on making due to the Avatar franchise. 'But I feel a great satisfaction when other directors want to explore some of my ideas...'
The visionary who put together the Avatar franchise, James Cameron, has been reflecting on the many movies he hasn't been able to make because of his dedication to Avatar. The sci-fi action franchise follows Jake Sully as he encounters the alien Na'vi on the planet Pandora and quickly turns against the military officials who seek to strip Pandora of its resources, despite the underlying risk to the Na'vi.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Though the recent release of Avatar: The Way of Water earned over $1 billion in the box office in just 12 days, the story of Jake Sully and his family hasn't been enough to fully satisfy Cameron's creative interests. After coming into prominence with his work on Titanic, Terminator, and Aliens, Cameron has spent years giving the majority of his attention to the Avatar franchise.
Two thoughts in answer to your question: the first is that the world of Avatar is so sprawling that I can tell most of the stories I want to tell within it and try many of the stylistic techniques that I hope to explore. And secondly, yes… our time as artists is finite. I will always mourn some of the stories that I don’t get to make.
As for Alita: Battle Angel, Cameron was a producer on the project and helped to write the script but handed directing responsibility to Robert Rodriguez, who is best known for his work on Spy Kids, Machete, and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Having made the leap from creating indie films, Rodriguez had to adjust his style to suit a Cameron movie, which involved some growing pains.
What's Next For James Cameron? Though Cameron may still be mourning all the projects he wasn't able to make because of the Avatar franchise, he will still be sticking with Avatar. With Avatar 3, 4 and 5 on the way, Cameron's schedule is going to be filled until the release of Avatar 5 in 2028, should the latter two sequels get the official greenlight from Disney. After, Cameron has teased plans for an Avatar 6 and 7.
