James Cameron
“I’m the king of the world!” James Cameron proclaimed upon accepting his best director Oscar for “Titanic.” In 1997 it was the most technically ambitious (and lucrative) movie ever made. This week an even more titanic Cameron film is headed for theaters: “Avatar.” It cost nearly $400 million to make. Kurt asks Cameron how he tackled yet another insanely ambitious project.
