James Cameron is not interested in ever doing a Star Wars movie or a Marvel movie, the Daily Beastreports. In an interviewer, the news organization asked the Terminator director, "Would you ever direct a Star Wars or Marvel superhero film? I feel your fans would salivate over that possibility." He responded bluntly, "I'm not the slightest bit interested in laboring in someone else's house."
Instead, Cameron is focusing on the sequels to his blockbuster movie, Avatar. When asked about the progress of Avatar 2, he said, "he thing is, my focus isn't on Avatar 2. My focus is on Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 equally. That's exactly how I'm approaching it. They've all been developed equally. I've just finished the script to Avatar 5."
He gave more detail about his progress with the Avatar sequel, saying, " I'm now starting the process of active prep. I'll be working with the actors in the capture volume in August, so I'm booked in production every day between now and then. Our volume is up and running, and everything is designed, and so we're going full-guns right now. "
He also briefly discussed the Terminator franchise, saying he feels the movies are still relevant today. In a time when people are being absorbed by their virtual-social world, I mean, just look around," he says. "I always say: if Terminator was about the war between the humans and the machines, look around any restaurant or airport lounge and tell me the machines haven't won when every human you see is enslaved to their device. So could you make a relevant Terminator film now? Absolutely."
I'm definitely not as enthusiastice about Avatar as I am about Marvel or Star Wars, but I respect Cameron's desire to do his own thing. What do you think? Are you looking forward to the Avatar sequel?
