Excellent interview and I agree with his statements regarding Disney’s Star Wars, specially regarding The Force Awakens since that was the film out under Disney when this interview took place.
@@LostMachinima Alright - well, if that’s all you have to say, it be best if you don’t say anything at all. Judging any director by IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic (lol), is erroneous and a lapse in true ability to discuss. I’ll say it like this: most directors don’t have even 1/10th the remote talent, ingenuity, or skill James Cameron made for himself in his 4 decades of making films.
Cameron is a magnificent director. But as much as I like Avatar, I feel like he making 4 more Avatar films deprives us for a lot of things he could be doing. 2 or 3 is perfect, but who knows if he will do anything more after them.
Maybe the "yeah"s and "mhmm"s are a bit much, but she is definitely invested. I think she's a little nervous, which is understandable and it's cool to see such a young interviewer have an opportunity to have this casual a conversation with someone like Cameron.
So have you ever watched a movie before or - oh, so you’re just saying Avatar was unoriginal? I guess Star Wars - which wasn’t original either should have not been invested in? How about John Wick? How about Inception - a blatant rip-off? See, when you say: it’s a waste of money and talent, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It astounds me so many will boast how Avatar isn’t original but can’t seemingly grasp that all of cinema is stolen/taken/remade from something else.
@@darknessnaxxion It astounds you because you have plenty of assumptions and you think you own the truth when you're in fact missing the point. What I've said, and maybe you need to read again, is "barely original" and I'm mostly comparing to Cameron's previous films which had a lot more personality. Derivative doesn't necessarily mean unoriginal because it's not bad as long as you're doing something creative, that's why his Alien sequel worked. I don't have a problem with derivative works, I have a problem with hugely expensive lack of creativity. Avatar didn't feel creative enough in its plot, characters, writing and even visuals to justify 10 years of sequels in my opinion and I think it will be a huge waste of all the things I've mentioned and I'm just saying that because Cameron is a great director and could be spending his time with something more inspiring. But that's just my opinion of course.
@@NeverSaySandwich1 that’s where you’re wrong, see what makes the story so compelling and the film in general, is the idiosyncrasies that James Cameron puts into the film. Well makes it especially special, is the fact that James Cameron revitalized old-school storytelling in a Bygone era of Hollywood. So when you say he should work on something new, he is. It’s in the same line of Star Wars the force awakens, where, ironically: Cameron dislikes, where are you tell a familiar story and build off it into new ventures. So, Avatar 2 will be something different. I’d take this over any MCU crap anyway.

James Cameron is such a fantastic filmmaker who knows the craft wellm I just wish he wasn't wasting his career working on the stupid Avatar movies
How do we know they're stupid again?
Stupid Avatar movies?

compilation of the amount of time she interrupts him in this interview : ua-cam.com/video/UqrQhzakGLM/v-deo.html
Extremely annoying!
This girl that’s doing the interview has a nice asmr voice
Thank you! Are you sure you want to see where they go with it?
Your move, Rian Johnson!
Only Jim would diss Disneys Star Wars movies while being on the payroll by them. Legend lol
When this interview was made, Disney hadn't bought FOX yet
Thank you. Great interview.👍💯
James is gonna have his own Last Jedi soon with Dances With Wolves Blue Edition Part 2 😁
Um no, he has it planned; The Last Abortion wasn’t planned.
No idiot. He planned it all.
@@-.-.11 Like a sensible person.
Why she do only one interview in youtube 😢?
This sounds like she is not listening at all and just is randomly say yah mmmm huummm, deffiently the whole time
Pfft. Did you watch the whole thing? She was very attentive.
@@Lintahlo I watched and she just sounds like a broken robot
She's obviously inexperienced and nervous. Jim was very respectful.
Sweet girl

@@darthdorkus I mean it’s James Cameron who wouldn’t be nervous
@@loudtaste1046 I'm 33 years old and I know I would be stumbling over my words speaking to the man himself.
"Mhmm"
He's going to direct Avatar sequels until 2028. What a waste of talent, money and resources for something barely original. Sigh.

@@darknessnaxxion Avatar is great technically, but everything else is mediocre. Rather have him work on something new

And they will be released directly on Disney+
