Just so you know, the only reason why Piranha is still part of James Cameron's official filmography is because the law forced the actual director (the producer of the film) to put the name of a director under contract in the project as such. But James Cameron didn't shoot much of the film (he lasted very little) and the majority of the directing, editing and all of that was actually done by the producer after firing James Cameron from the project. So his first film that is actually his first film from start to finish is The Terminator, not Piranha.
It's a similar case to what happened with Zack Snyder and Justice League with Joss Whedon. No matter what version you feel it's best, the theatrical version had Snyder's name as director but most of the footage was of reshoots from Whedon. The name had to stay because the law specifically forced it to be that way. But the film is not what Snyder had been creating.
I reall would like to know which scenes were directed by him. I zapped through that film and found some areas which were very james camerony but you never can be sure and I guess he will never tell.
Cameron reportedly hates the word motion capture. He prefers the word "performance capture"
Can you do one on Cronenberg? Love your videos.
I ended up liking Avatar 2 more than I anticipated. Its amazing to see a glimpse of how cameron evolved in his passiom for VFXs.
it’s kinda sad how this series doesn’t get that many views even tho it’s so good
“..to create a magical cinematic world.” Hard cut to a shot of a toy helicopter falling into a paddling pool.
Interesting video. keep it up
Adjusted for inflation Piranha 2’s budget equates to just over $2M in 2023.
Terminator 2’s budget adjusted for inflation equates to $14.2M in 2023.
@user-hz6fj9xy4y Yeah I have no idea why I wrote 14.2 😂
This is excellent, thank you
Great video.
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: Dark Fate"
He was the director, not the writer
Killing that one character was James Cameron's idea
Do Donald glover's atlanta next!
Could you do the same thing with the films of Luc Besson? THANKS
Could you do robert Rodriguez 3 budget levels please
Can you please do Sam Raimi
I would loved to have been an extra during that Titanic sinking 😂
Lol i love that you showed that wonky helicopter crash shot three times
My prayers have been answered 🙏🙏🙏
FIRST LIKE AND COMMENT !
Hell yeah !
I think Cameron's Avatar and Titanic were very forced. IMO true film is about the director's expression instead of the audience's reception. Titanic felt that James Cameron just wanted to make a Titanic documentary but he forcefully added the R+J storyline (it was a decent film, but not great). Avatar was like a 3D performance capture show-off. Cameron's true direction can only be shown in T1, T2 or the Abyss, films that he wanted to make.
That didn't mean that I didn't like his films. Just that they felt forced
Titanic ruined James Cameron. The success of that filmed ruined James Cameron. No terminator 3 (However there rights problems so that gets a pass). No true lies 2 or any other film he could've directed.
couldn't watch the second part avatar, very boring
