James Cameron Answers Sci-Fi Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
I don't care what anyone says about Avatar or how much they bash Titanic, this man is one of the great visionary directors of the 20th century. Absolute genius and an incredible storyteller.
Daniel King my friend used to bash titanic. then he saw the behind the scene features. changed his view like instantly😂😂😂😂😂
Daniel King thank you.
I hate Titanic as a story. I love everything about the ship itself though. I wish he had concentrated more on that aspect instead of focusing on two completely unlikable characters since I didn't really care what happened to either one of them. However, it was directed brilliantly and it's a beautiful movie to look at. But I still don't like it as a film. I love everything else he's made though and he's one of my favorite directors.
Avatar is literally Dances with Wolves with Blue Aliens
@@LplusRatioplusNobodyCares and since Dances with Wolves is a good story, Avatar is a good story with blue aliens
Not just a solid film director, but also a knowledgeable mind about society, politics, physics, history and science. Great stuff.
Guido Anselmi thats how a director should be,
izzuddin afif keyword “should”
Well he did went to college to study physics for two years so that should explain allot.
Guido Anselmi he's not really a scientist since if his predictions were accurate we would be dead by now
Paul Verhoeven (Robocop,, etc.) was a maths professor in the Netherlands :-)
7:16 James Cameron winning lmao “We’re doing time travel, so just stfu” 😂😂😂
"We're doing time travel, so shut the f^&k up!"
Someone please put that on a T-Shirt...I'd buy it :)
That guy is straight up savage🔥
Hi! I am big fan of James Cameron. Just saw this video and your comment. So I made t-shirt for you :D - YT not allow links in commėnts, so just search in google - "We're doing time travel, so shut the f**k up! t-shirt"
That's awesome man, you're a star!
That line was amazing and yes, put me down for a t-shirt too! JC is seriously cool
He was actually pretty smart in the movie "I'm not a tech guy so I don't know how it works". So he didn't have to explain it. What that kid in Terminator two should have done is ask the terminator how it works. Its possible he had it stored. And then we'd all know how to make a time machine. Because youtube, I'm contacting you in the four years ago past!
This is one of only three humans, that went down 11km to the deepest part of the ocean. More people went to the moon. Let that sink in...
Space is easy. Nothing there. The ocean is far less forgiving.
Sink in ha
Stick that in your Mariana trench and sink it lol
And the only one to went down there....... solo.
no don't sink in...
"His name is James, James Cameron
The bravest pioneer
No budget too steep, no sea too deep
Who's that?
It's him, James Cameron"
😂😂 i got that reference. South park
@@Film_Oasis why he says Jim Cameron?
@@stevethea5250 Jim is a short form of James, just like Steve is short for Steven. In case you haven't figured that out in the last 4 months.
@@dik4316 but they both one syllable!
"You guys hearing the song ok up there?"
"All movies, regardless of genre, are innately artificial. It's the truth that underlies the artifice." -- Very well put.
I feel bad now for all the hate I’ve given “Titanic” and “Avatar” (I definitely respect their significance to modern film making, just not a big fan of either), this man is clearly much smarter and cooler than me and most people I can think of.
Yeah, love or hate his movies but you got to give props to the man that he stops at nothing to fulfill his larger than life vision crafting all corners of the frame with a keen and astute eye that shows on screen. What irks me is how his detractors talked down on him like he's an idiot and they know better about the filmmaking craft than him.
@@deadstar44 Winslet, who had been notoriously reluctant about working with Cameron again because of the complicated situations he puts his actors in for their scenes, stated that Cameron proposed the role to her in July 2017 when he came to help her and their fellow Titanic collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio at a fundraiser in France, sending her the scripts shortly after.
@@adonisg667 i think it's Avatar 2. Kate Winslet is one of the casts
@@randomly_random_0 Ahh, thanks.
@@maxotto9877 lol deserves hate because it is the most successful movie?🤡😂😂 You useless clowns jealous
James Cameron is a genius. A brilliant filmmaker, screenwriter, story board artist, concept artist (he drew the original designs for both the Terminator and Alien Queen before passing it on to Stan Winston to build), miniatures designer, and so on. He's a maestro in so many areas. My all-time favourite director! Loved this video.
He seems really cool and down to earth
Cringe
He's really cool and down to the bottom of the ocean that's how cool he is.
that political test puts everyone in libertarian left btw
But according to Anauld and others, once a production begins, he becomes an Alien monster. Deservedly so.
Well, look at how his movies turn out. Only makes sense. I would imagine Nolan to be the same way, though I enjoy Nolan films less overall.
A film director that actually understands some physics at masters' level. Admirable
One of my biggest inspirations in life.
Such a brilliant filmmaker.
Right.
He's one of my inspirations too.
He's my inspiration as a visual artist. Such a powerful artist with the mind of an innovating engineer. Potent and rare mix.
+deadstar44 he's one of my inspirations as a writer.
This is why he is THE ONLY person who can make a proper Terminator sequel. Nobody understands the sci-fi genre quite like James Cameron. A true visionary!
Will he, though? He's probably making Avatar sequels until 2037
@Lorenzo Fontana Yeah that is absolutely true unfortunately. Dark Fate was a travesty.
Man's a genius. One of the last great action and sci fi directors still working today
Every movie he has made (ok not counting piranha 2) He has raised the bar for the entire movie industry. Every single time. I'm just so hyped to see what he has done with Avatar 2. It's going to be insanely huge.
Knowledgeable, funny and makes great movies. What a cool guy!
I love these series :D
same. yet, i found myself losing interest in this vid half way through. guess it all depends on who's talking
same, this is one of the best ones...if you know what he's talking about
This man have directed some of the best sci-fi, suspense/ horror, epic drama and ( maybe) comedy ever made... How much talent can one person have???
James Cameron is good. Me like good. Me like James Cameron.
Best logic I've seen on any comment section all month.
Mind blown.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
bubble king That's a nice hypotethical syllogism you've got going on over there. Can't say the same for your grammar though.
Cool profile picture. Pan’s Labyrinth is my all time favourite film. :)
His name is James (James Cameron),
The bravest pioneer!
No budget too steep, no sea too deep.
Who's that?
It's him
James Cameron
James (James Cameron)
Explorer of the sea!
With a dying thirst to be the first.
Could it be?
Yeah, that's him!
James Cameron.
Dudester100 I was just singing this in my head before I read this
James Cameron doesn’t do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron IS James Cameron.
He's a genius because he looks at the human themes and metaphors behind science fiction stories. It's not just lasers and robots for fun. He goes beyond that and it shows on a subconscious level in the filmmaking craft (dialog, acting, editing etc)
He looks like the sane older cousin of Michael Bay.
FRISHR ya buy replace explosion with space
Ahem, one does not mention those two in the same breath!
HailAnts that’s why I took 2 breaths when typing it.
Micheal Bay is not a bad director, he is just a bad filmmaker.
Thinkers Rave ..that's actually pretty on-point.
As far as utilising Cg liberally in your movies are concerned, he's pretty much up there with the best.
Wow, he's way cooler and smarter than I could even imagine. Way to go!
No matter how much of an impatient perfectionist (almost to the point of being annoying) Cameron is, he sure makes for a very interesting listen. You need to have a mind like this to make the kind of movies he has. Fascinating individual.
He is raising the bar (again). This was informative and so insightful. Thank you mister Cameron!
Also: James Cameron does what James Cameron does because he is James Cameron.
I have faith in Avatar 2.
One of the best and smartest WIRED Questions video I have seen. 👍🏼
For real tho
Thank you James Cameron for raising the bar by the way
I could listen to James Cameron discuss these topics all day. I haven't previously paid much attention to him, but this interview won me over quite quickly. Absolutely fantastic job and I hope to see more of the same at some point in the future.
The most important question:
When are you releasing "True Lies" and "The Abyss" on Blu-ray?
Ikr lol
"I think we were doomed, personally"
……wow this goes down real fast.
It's the exact same thing as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk has said as well. The chance we will survive A.I. is very small. Like 10% tops.
I’ve always respected and appreciated James Cameron; now I love him. Best episode you have ever released! Already watched it twice and about to hit round 3.
Deep mind. For a sci-fi movie director, he also understands politics and many other aspects that are not fictions.
As should most hard sci-fi content creators. Or harder than softest, I guess. When you predict the future, you wanna make it so spectators my suspend their disbelief.
politics is pure fiction.
This had more science than the ones with "scientists".
Alex Common there wasnt any science talk here either tho
Sure
He knows about the Meissner effect. Which is awesome
Meissner effect was used on Avatar.
Woah what's with those quotes around scientists
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is... James Cameron.
I had to scroll way to far to find this comment.
You lost me but I think I get it
I feel like you had to find a James Cameron video where this wasnt posted just so you can post it
That was awesome. Geeking out with James Cameron, straight to the point, I'd love more of that!
He seems so nice to talk with.
He's aged well.
Go back to his avatar 2010 interviews, i swear he looked older in '10 than he does now. Its odd...
So do his movies
Time travel.
His wife has a diet program that he follows and promotes too. See his and his wife's podcast appearance on Tim Ferriss' show.
He went vegan.
I've always loved Cameron. This just makes me want to buy the guy a drink and pick his brain on sci-fi and its intricacies.
James sounds like a really nice and easy-going guy, great video!
As Arnold said in an interview. There is two James Camerons. One before film shooting, and the one on set. Cameron is very passionate on set, he wants things to be done the right way, and he does not care how he gets the shot, as long as he gets it. But when he is not making a film he is the most humble kind man, just a guy loving to have a good time, tell jokes and live life.
This man is one of the few TREASURES we have, so many classics of sci fi and inspired films, now Alita which is the best anime/Manga adaptation of a master piece manga, brilliantly adapted in his screenplay.....god bless you JAMES.
Jim had me rolling. I had no idea he was this entertaining.
I love how excited he is about good deep sci fi
This was great! Very intelligent, very honest! A voice for sci-fi lovers and tech-heads all around!
It is amazing how you can listen to people you respect talk nonstop even if they don't really say anything new, all you really want is for them to hopefully reaffirm your own way of thinking.
So much respect for this man
James Cameron is a man of passion. All his movies are immortal (except piranhas 2 lol), James pls make sci-fi great again. Revive Alien, make an actual brutal Terminator movie and Avatars.
Absolutely love Jim - so much thought, consideration and knowledge. :)
Love this James Cameron interview great stuff guys getting him on
Good job on Alita, give us a sequal PLS!!!
Alita wasn't directed by James Cameron
He's definitely got something big..I mean real big in the new Avatar movie!
This man never makes us regret with his movies.
An amazing director and his researches a truly make a historical sense👏
I can just listen to James Cameron talk about science fiction, movies, anything all day everyday. He is just so passionate about the things he does
"I hope people start to get Avengers fatigue" - James Cameron, 2018 (after announcing 4 more Avatar films)
I was pretty fatigued after just one Avatar movie.
I certainly got Avengers fatigue. Infinity War didn't really interest me .
I hope that too.
Rohan Jakhar Its a great movie in my opinion :)
liiparks Maybe. I haven't seen it . Not very excited to see it either .
You see, this is why I respect this guy, he actually knows enough about theoretical physics to give more than a shrug when it comes to possible solutions to the grandfather paradox (not to mention the fact that he put himself in mortal danger and explored the friggin Marianna trench).
Sir James Cameron the Godfather of Sci-fi and fantasy films.
What most people don't realise is Mr. Cameron is actually secretly promoting his upcoming avatar movies to get hyped up about his movie and the genre that it belong to i.e sci fi
If someone tells me that James Cameron is actually developing time travel I will definitely believe that. This guy is a genius and true pioneer in every field he’s in
The time will arrive when Cameron's Avatar will bury the superhero comicbook film era and will dominate for the next decade...
James Cameron is one of the greatest directors in the industry. No one can do it like him
I tend to just resolve the John Connor paradox by thinking that in the way that events first happened John had a different father, possibly the douche who stood Sarah up in T1. When John sent Reese back and T1 happened the original John wasn't concieved and John #2, Kyle's son, is the John we see in T2-Salvation.
Time-travel is a headache of a topic to debate because it gets so confusing. This is the argument I've had with people in the past, because they cannot understand (or accept) at one point the John Connor we know would never had existed until say someone went back. The timeline in the original film was most likely not the original timeline, James Cameron basically just said what I say is several events occurred before leading to the story we know today. The funny thing is Skynet might not have been the problem at the start, that's how strange time-travel can get!!!
Agree
I think it's predestination paradox.
Or, you know, multiverse theory -- which seems to be the theory Cameron is alluding, too.
@@krisrussell3480 Multiverse theory has all the solutions.
terminator 2 should have been awarded best picture oscar
love Jimbo, such an inspiration.
For me, James Cameron is one of the best directors in the history of cinema. He knows how to tell a story, he doesn't allow the special effects to over shadow the plot or the characters...this man should have been given the reigns to the star wars sequel trilogy.
OK so. The props on that table.... is that fish suppose to be a homage to piranha 2? xD
He is the reason I got into filmmaking. A great talent.
If Jim says we are doomed....we're doomed.
Cameron is an absolute genius. He scope of knowledge knows no bounds , yet he can pinpoint and specialize if the situation requires it.
i love scifi as long as there is balance between the sci and the fi.
Well put. Sequels get "bigger" and it's to their detriment. You need something grounded in reality to make the action have weight. When nothing is realistic, it's hard to feel any tension.
Holy crap he's well-spoken. I'm not surprised he knows stuff but he speaks about it with such fluidity.
Dear Mr. James Cameron please return to the "Alien" franchise! Ridley Scott is killing it, and Neil Blomkamp is not allowed as he hasn't such reputation. But You can make it!!!
Orxan7 The Alien franchise should end. I personally like prometheus and love covenant. But I just don't see a spot where they can make another good movie. I consider promethus the start of the franchise and Aliens the end. Alien 3 and Resurrection are just non-canon fanmade films in my head.
I love Alien, but it is completely dead.
Covenant would be a great film if it didn't focus on the crew.
Finally a Wired worth listening to -- smart and serious. Bravo, Cameron!
This guy's passion for his art is unmatchable. Can't help but think he's the modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci! Jack of all trades and an actual master of everything he touches.
An epic one. Thank you Wired for this great opportunity to pick Mr Cameron's mind.
Thank you for raising the bar James Cameron!
This man is simply great !
Can you make this a regular show with Cameron? This is one of the best videos on UA-cam.
I'm so excited for the future!!
This dude is a god. I'd love to have like a 5 hour conversation with him about what would happen if AI gets too smart and all that
I liked when he proved the Mythbusters wrong on the Titanic floating door myth. The dude is smart.
Sci-fi films serve as the best warnings for society. Some of the best cautionary tales can be found in science fiction.
Tower Films Canada Watch Ex-Machina
Watch Black Mirror.
James Cameron is the man!
Avatar should've won Best Picture over The Hurt Locker. Simples.
This man is one of my heroes. Incredible guy in my opinion.
Very cathartic for me to hear his rant against the Oscars, especially his complaint against Annie Hall
Such an inspirational man!
Tanks you for the best movie now ALITA , and his soul the excellent actress Rosa Salazar , long life for you yessssss
I don't agree with James Cameron on everything in this clip, but he's an amazing filmmaker; and I like that he's clear about where he stands.
The literal analysis of the impossibility of time travel, followed by a "but that's no fun, so shut the f**k up" really sums up what makes him a fantastic story teller.
As they say, that is why it is called science *fiction*

That was a pretty good explanation for the Grandfather Paradox.
The shape of water wins the best picture

Avengers Endgame branched reality time travel is unique and preety cool.
i really enjoyed this.
James Cameron is Brilliant! The Multiverse/Time Travel thought I think is exactly right! It may take some time for us to know for sure but, I believe he is correct.
please do a movie based on the manipulation of quantum superposition in where a group alters the past by mathematically predicting the outcome of said manipulation to their benefit, but obviously something goes wrong and now they either must survive what they have done, or attempt to alter it back. If they do attempt to fix what they caused have it spin off into a sequel by ending the first movie in a cliffhanger. Perhaps they fixed their mistake but paved way to the creation of a super virus or induced forced evolution... idk that last topic you hit on had me day dreaming of the possibilities.
you described the film Primer
ooo. I shall investigate
Can't say I like all of his movies but this is a very informative, thought-out and nuanced Q&A about a topic that I care deeply about. Thank you Mr Cameron!
Time travel paradoxes doesn't exist if you consider multiverses (:
In a way they do, when you jump back or forward in time, you jump into an adjacent parallel universe in which your "duplicate" has just done the same thing into the adjacent universe to that universe.
The "grandfather paradox" can be created but as there are infinite parallel universes, the paradox is delayed for infinity... so you don't have to worry about it ;)
Ulises Bustos witch means multiverses can only exist if time travel exists and vice versa
and time travel exists we just havent done it yet
no matter what you can never affect that witch is already chisaled out in stone
Yeah but then that doesn't really time travel but travel between dimensions.
_MILETIL_ BLIGHT_
Time travel exists. We're traveling through time right now.
So your saying theres a chance
"Damnit Jim, I'm a filmmaker not a space doctor". ☕😆
"Why did James Cameron say Terminator: Genisys was good when it clearly wasn't?"
George He didn't refuse the money that Paramount offered him
George he's on record.
George He got paid.
I liked it, but I don't think that there is really much left for the Terminator franchise to do
But it was.
